Sliding glass walls that transform classrooms into large collaborative learning spaces. Windows that automatically dim to help control energy costs. Outdoor seating for small-group instruction.

And we’re back. Today marks the first day of the 2014-15 school year for nearly 4,000 students enrolled at IUSD’s four year-round sites.

Outdoor education trips have long been a highlight for IUSD sixth-graders, who get to travel to bucolic settings for five days of hands-on science instruction, hiking and games.

IUSD has announced two new principals for the 2014-15 school year.

IUSD Superintendent Terry Walker has announced a new principal for Westpark Elementary School. Deanna Rutter, who is currently vice principal at an elementary school in the Anaheim City School District, will succeed Principal Ann Marie Simmons, starting July 1.

Six campuses in IUSD have earned the state's highest level of recognition for public schools.

April is upon us, and that means Brywood Elementary School is gearing up for its annual BryWorld Multicultural Festival.

For the second year in a row, IUSD has been named one of the nation’s Best Communities for Music Education by the NAMM Foundation.
