Interlachen Jr.-Sr. High School -

IJSHS JROTC kicks off their archery season! Over the last two weeks, Cadets have learned about range safety, range operations and how to be successful as an archer. Discipline, confidence and determination led them to successfully firing arrows into targets from 7-10 meters. The Interlachen JROTC Archery Team, last year's Area 1 victors, begin practice on Tuesday, March 5th with the competitive season ending in May! Good luck Cadets!

Do you want to be a part of an awesome team? Do you love to cheer and support your school sports teams? Then check out the attached flyer for information regarding Interlachen Cheer tryouts!

Hello IJSHS Families! We are about to get into the season of testing! For the next three months and until school finishes this year, we will have many different required assessments taking place. In this post you will find March, April, and May "Testing Dates" lists! Please save these for future reference. (You might even share the post to your own page so that you can refer to it later.) Please encourage students to take each assessment seriously as many are part of graduation requirements. It is also important that students are here at school every day from this point forward as teachers will be reviewing for the tests, and we hope you will help us with student attendance and being here on time. The night before any test, have students lay out their clothes and go to bed early so that they get plenty of rest. Also, make sure they have a healthy breakfast the morning of the assessment(s). If you have any questions, please let us know! THANK YOU!

It took several trips by them, and Galactik never disappoints! Huge thanks to Mike and Sheila Rodgers for donating 120 Lit Teas to IJSHS faculty and staff for an Early Release Day treat! We couldn't be more appreciative for all you do for our school! THANK YOU! =)

This weekend a portion of the JROTC Raiders competed in the Iron Knight Challenge at the University of Central Florida.  The Iron Knight Challenge is a competitive event consisting of a 4.5 mile obstacle and mental endurance course. The JROTC Raiders had a spectacular finish placing 8th of 58 high school and college Raider and Ranger Challenge teams!  Way to go Raiders!   #WeRiseAsOne

Please note that we have Early Release Day tomorrow, February 27th! Also, KONA Ice will be on campus during the lunch block, so bring money if you'd like to have a cold treat! :)

🚌 Today is National School Bus Driver Appreciation Day! THANK YOU to our hardworking bus drivers and transportation staff members who get our kids safely to and from school every day 🙌! Your dedication & care make all the difference! #ProudtobePCSD

9 students from IJSHS attended Oral Arguments for 3 cases at the 5th District Court of Appeals today. They heard cases that ranged from family court matters to excessive fine cases. They enjoyed interacting with the judges and lawyers between cases. Huge shoutout and thank you to Judge Boatwright for having them! #riseasone #goRams

Please note that there is no school on Monday, January 19th, as we will be observing President's Day!

Please don't forget that the Progress Reports for the 3rd 9-week grading period go home TODAY! Parents/guardians, please review grades with students. They have approximately 4 weeks until the end of Quarter 3, so they have plenty of time to bring up any grades that are lower than they'd like them to be. Please talk to your child(ren) about this and make a plan NOW! Reach out to teachers through Rooms/Thrillshare with any questions you have, or call to schedule a conference if needed. Thanks for your continued support! 😁

Happy Valentine's Day from our school family to our students and their families! We love you all and are thankful for you!
