Please be advised that the Community Gym has undergone a security system transition. This update is part of our ongoing commitment to campus safety and the proper oversight of school-managed facilities. All the door locks have been changed, and keys will no longer be distributed, fob access only moving forward.

Access is now strictly limited to current students, staff/coaches, and registered community members.

Need to gain access? Please come speak with the office, fill out proper paperwork, and we will issue you a key fob after reviewing the request.
Questions about access? If you are an athletic coach, please email or call our athletic director. All other inquiries can be directed to the superintendent.

Thank you for your cooperation in maintaining a restricted and safe environment for our students.

Ever wonder what our 4K Bulldogs are up to during wrap-around care?

Along with plenty of learning through play, students also enjoy hands-on projects that connect to what they’re discovering in class with Mrs. Menke and Mrs. Manning. This week, Ms. Betsy brought science to life! Using vinegar, baking soda, and a splash of food coloring (for extra excitement!) students created a chemical reaction that inflated gloves… and even launched a few nearly to the ceiling!

The excitement was contagious, and of course they had to test it again… and again! At Ithaca, curiosity, laughter, and learning go hand in hand, every single day.

Mr. Nee’s Life Skills Shop class has been working hard on their Mega Jenga set!

Over the past couple of weeks, they’ve learned about woodworking hand tools and their safe, correct use. Students used hand saws to carefully craft each block by hand.

Today, we celebrated all that hard work by playing with our finished Mega Jenga game!

It may be too cold to go outside, but it’s just right for indoor recess fun!

Our K–2 Bulldogs got their wiggles out in the hallways while stretching their brains, too. Board games like Monopoly and Sorry helped students practice turn taking, problem solving, and being good sports. Puzzles sparked teamwork, while blocks, magnetic tiles, and connecting pieces turned into some pretty impressive creations! What better way to stay warm than with fun, friendship and sweet smiles?
