2011: The I.C.E. Odyssey-  A Family Handbook



The I.C.E. 2011-2012 Family Handbook is available for download by clicking on the link immediately below. This annual document is the result of collaboration among the school's administration, faculty, and the PTA. This 48 page document contains: a summary of the origins of the school;  the I.C.E. philosophical and operational approach to education;  the developed system of communication and collaboration among parents and faculty; the day-to-day operational basics that clarify school rules and procedures for families; a 2011-2012 academic year calendar; a one-page chart of email contact information for the faculty and parent leadership; and recent achievements of note.


New incoming students will have special opportunities to review the document in Advisories.  We encourage all families and students, new and returning, to look through the document between now and Curriculum Night (Tuesday, September 27, 2011) so that they are well acquainted with current school policies, philosophies, and procedures.  We hope the document will help you to become more aware of all the wonderful activities happening at the school and to see opportunities to get more involved.  In addition, we hope it enlightens you to the reflective process behind the scenes and gives you points of contact to explore these topics further.

School Lunch Form 2011-2012 Required  Immediately

Many students are eligible for free or reduced-price meals. A completed School Meals Application enables eligible students to eat lunch for free or at a reduced rate of $0.25. Students who are not income-eligible will pay $1.50 for lunch. Parents and guardians can return completed paper applications to their child’s school, or they can apply online at nyc.applyforlunch.com or nyc.gov/accessnyc.   Paper copies will be supplied by students' Advisors on the first day of school and must be returned the following day.

It is vital that all families at the school submit an application electronically or signed on paper.  Families leaving out financial information will not be approved for free or reduced lunch but will still count toward federal requirements for all families to have submitted an application.

Please support the school by completing this vital paperwork.
