MVP (Most Valuable Panther)

The MVP Program recognizes IMS students for positive behavior at school. Each month has a different "Character Strong" theme and students are nominated by teachers and staff for embodying that characteristic. By the end of the school year, we will celebrate Panthers who show Gratitude, Originality, Perseverance, Accountability, Niceness, Teamwork, Honesty, Empathy, Respect, and Selflessness. Go Panthers!

IMS Celebrates Native American Heritage Month

November is Native American Heritage Month—a time to celebrate the rich history, diverse cultures, and significant contributions of Native Americans. This month provides an excellent opportunity for us to deepen our understanding and appreciation of their cultural heritage, both within our school community and at home. 

Throughout November, we will engage students in various educational activities and discussions that promote awareness and respect for Native American culture. We kicked off these activities with bookmark decorating in Homeroom classes to celebrate and honor the culture.

Meet Principal Mark Jergens-Zmuda

Hello, Panther families! I’m thrilled to be the principal of such an amazing school community. I am excited about this job because it gives me the opportunity to help enrich the lives of our students, and also for witnessing and fostering those “lightbulb” moments when a concept clicks for a student and they really understand it. A few fun facts about me: I love 80s music, swimming and softball. If I could eat just one type of food for the rest of my life, it would probably be Reese’s peanut butter cups. I went to high school and participated in band with Pharrell Williams in Virginia, and was later a drum major at Virginia Tech and used to do backflips across the field at college football games.
