Announcements

• Inclement Weather Days:  The International Academy of Macomb will be closed when the Chippewa Valley School District is closed due to inclement weather.  Students should listen to local radio stations or TV stations for the announcement that “Chippewa Valley School District is closed.”  If a student’s sending school district and/or transporting districts are closed, but the IAM is open, the student and the parents should decide if it is safe for the student to travel to the IAM.  If the family determines that it is not safe to travel to the IAM, the parent must call in the absence to our attendance office at 586.723.7299.  The absence will be marked as exempted and not counted toward the cap of allowable absences.  Please remind students to check Blackboard for assignments.

• Carmen: The IAM is planning a trip to the Michigan Opera House to see “Carmen” on Sunday, May 17th. A block of 150 tickets has been reserved. The cost is $35 which includes transportation. Students planning to attend must submit a check made payable to the “International Academy of Macomb” by Friday, September 26th. After this date, remaining tickets will be made available to parents.
