On Tuesday, September 6, IDEAL’s new students and their families were welcomed by faculty and staff and all of IDEAL’s sixth and ninth graders. While the students met their teachers and toured their new buildings, parents learned more about the IDEAL way and engaged in conversations and question and answer sessions. Members of the Class of 2023 also attended the meeting and stayed to enjoy lunch with Ms. Wolfe. Photos from the day are on the IDEAL Facebook page.
