Parents/Guardians:  If your student is withdrawing from Ingraham this school year, it is important to let us know!  Please notify the district online in less than 3 minutes if your student will not attend Ingraham.

If you have moved, it is important to let us, and the district know by completing a Change of Address form

Pre-Planned Absence Forms

If your student will be missing two or more days of school, please remember to submit a Pre-Planned Absence Form. Common examples of pre-planned absences include family vacations, surgery or medical procedures, family events, and non-district athletic competitions. Providing the form in advance helps students and teachers plan for missed instruction and assignments.

Forms are available in the Attendance Office or online on the Ingraham Attendance page:
Attendance Page.

Completed forms must be turned in at least three school days before the first day of the planned absence. Thank you for helping us support strong, consistent attendance!

Child Nutrition Eligibility & Education Benefit Form

We are asking all families to complete the Child Nutrition Eligibility & Education Benefit (CNEEB) form. This form helps our school access important funding that supports students, like additional staff, academic support, and resources for classrooms. It only takes a few minutes, and it makes a real difference.

Even if your family does not qualify for benefits, the digital form has an option to indicate that. Submitting the form—whether you qualify or not—still helps our school. Each form helps make sure we get as much complete data as possible to ensure maximum funding for our students. You can fill out the form online at MySchoolApps using a phone or computer. The form is available in multiple languages, and paper versions are also available in the main office if you are unable to complete a digital form.

Thank you for taking a moment to complete this. We appreciate your partnership in helping our school and ensuring our students have the resources they need.

SPA introduces students to planning topics through engaging sessions, activities, and site visits led by regional planning experts at PSRC, colleagues from partner agencies, and leaders from the community. The program encourages students to think creatively about how better planning can help people lead better lives.

Ingraham Graduation Ceremony – Save the Date!

Prior to Winter Break, the district announced graduation dates for SPS high schools. Ingraham’s graduation ceremony will be on June 10 at 4:30 p.m., at the Ingraham Stadium (also known as the Northwest Athletic Complex).

Due to stadium capacity, each senior will receive four tickets for family/friends to attend graduation inside the stadium. Tickets will be distributed at Senior Checkout on June 8. There are no additional tickets available, and the school is not able to manage unused tickets after they are dispersed.

Please do not call the school to request more tickets. There is an overflow area just outside the fence on the north end of the field, where non-ticketed guests can view the ceremony, which usually runs about sixty minutes. The ceremony will be live streamed on YouTube for those who are unable to attend. That link will be provided on the Ingraham website a day or two before the ceremony. More information to come later this Spring, so stay tuned!

Library News

Library sign in is going to digital! The library is transitioning from a paper sign in to a digital sign in. Students will sign in on a computer on the front library desk and put their pass on a bowl. This will make it easier for staff to track who is in the library and the numbers will help show how our students use and love the library.

To see what has been going on the library, check out our latest newsletter!

Flu and Covid Vaccines Available

Flu season is here. Luckily, students can get flu and Covid shots in the Teen Health Center! Appointments are free of cost. Stop by the Teen Health Center next to the Counseling office to get signed up so you can stay well this winter. 

College Representative Visits

Students!  One of the more important opportunities available every fall are the College Admissions Rep visits to Ingraham High School. College Admissions Representatives from campuses across the state and country are scheduled to visit IHS and meet with interested students in grades 9-12 (students only). We already have several visitors on the schedule, and they are very excited to meet you. This is one of the few opportunities available to meet the person who may be reading your college application, ask questions about the campus, and gather helpful information to use during your college research and the admission/application process. These visits are especially helpful for seniors who are about to begin the college application process.

Students are required to sign-up to attend these sessions and do so via their Naviance/High School and Beyond Plan accounts.

To sign-up: Please log in to your Clever account

• Select Naviance 
• Select Colleges, then college visits 
• Select View Details and register for the college you want to attend! 

Then write down the visit on your planner or personal calendar. On the date and time of the visit, come down to the library and meet the representative!  You are welcome to stay for a portion of the visit or the entire visit before heading back to class.

Please continue checking the visit section as new college visits are added.

Student Drop-off and Parking on Campus

Students: It is required that all students complete a vehicle registration form and obtain a free parking pass from the main office if they plan on parking on campus.  The process of obtaining a parking pass will be announced soon, so stay tuned.  A valid driver license must be shown when obtaining the parking pass. Student parking is in the lot off Meridian and the south section of the south parking lot next to the fields.  Staff/Visitor parking is next to the auditorium/upper gym entrance, as well as in the south parking lot near the tennis courts.  Do not park in the Helene Madison parking lot.  Cars may be ticketed and/or towed if you are illegally parked in a accessible parking spot (without the appropriate parking permit) or in a fire lane (yellow or red curbs). 

School Communication

Ingraham uses various methods to communicate information out to students and families:

• Students, please start checking your SPS email inbox daily for information from school and read the Friday bulletins. 
• Schoology pages
• Talking Points: A text-based system that sends translated messages to your phone.
• Principal Newsletter: A personal message from Principal Zack Elvig, sent on Mondays.
• Friday Bulletins:  We email the school bulletin weekly via a system called School Messenger. It is always updated on the Ingraham website. Occasionally, we hear from parents/guardians who say they are not receiving the bulletin or have suddenly stopped receiving them.  It is usually an email filter issue, or you have inadvertently unsubscribed.  Please manage your SPS communication preferences
