iCon registration deadline extended!

Hope this message finds you safe. Due to the natural disaster affecting our communities, we are extending ICon registration through 5 pm on Wednesday, August 19!

This immersive arts education offers a tailored fit for anyone choosing the online school option through ICCSD this year, or an alternative academic program. ICon is for families who place a high value on creative, collaborative, critical thinking and communication skills for students to become passionate and innovative leaders. Evening ICon cohorts are also available for those choosing the district's continuous learning option.

More information about our faculty and curriculum is available here.

Please send along the link to this blog post and share information about ICon to anyone outside the Nolte family who may be interested.
