Schedules

The ISO daily schedule is as follows:

• Pre-K - K: 7:10 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
• Grades 1-12: 7:10 a.m. – 1:40 p.m.

Drop Off/Pick Up

Those families with students in grades 1-12 may drop students off at 7 a.m. and pick-up students at 1:40 p.m.

To ensure student safety, students should be dropped off and picked up according to the following plan. All entries onto the campus must be made through the northwest gate; exits through the northeast gate. Please note that there is no parking at the entrance of the main office. Students may be discharged in front of the Science Lab, or the Pre-K building. Primary students, who are too young to reach their classes by themselves, should be escorted by a parent, another responsible adult, or by an older sibling.

The school cannot be responsible for supervision of students outside the regular school operating hours. All parents will be asked to sign a “waiver of responsibility” for their children being on campus outside regular school hours. If someone other than a parent or your regular driver will be picking up a child, please notify the office.

Campus hours

• 7:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday
• 8:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. Weekends and Holidays

Students should arrive for school about five or ten minutes before their first period class each morning but should not arrive earlier than 7:00 a.m. They must be picked up before 1:50 p.m. each day. Students should only be on campus if they are in a supervised activity sponsored or sanctioned by ISO. If they have guests, they must check in at the office for approval beforehand. Campus will close at 6:00 p.m. each day. Parents or drivers must pick-up their children by that time. ISO cannot accept the responsibility of supervising your children when they are not picked up. Parents will be contacted and the situation discussed if they are chronically late in picking up their children.

Block Schedule

The upper school follows the 85-minute block schedule.  This schedule facilitates a more substantial time for class discussions and group work, an opportunity to offer more optional classes in the upper school, a longer break, and less homework subjects each evening.
