Parents Appreciating Teachers and Staff
Hello from IPSF!
We’re thrilled to share that the Parents Appreciating Teachers & Staff (PATS) campaign is officially underway, and messages of heartfelt gratitude are already pouring in for your incredible teachers and staff!
PATS offers families a meaningful opportunity to recognize the educators and staff who go above and beyond every day. These personalized messages of appreciation will be printed on special certificates and delivered to schools as a lasting token of thanks.
Keep an eye out! Coming soon, you’ll receive a bright orange envelope from IPSF filled with certificates honoring educators and staff at your school. You may receive multiple deliveries between now and the end of the school year, as certificates will be generated throughout the campaign.
We appreciate your support in making sure these recognitions reach their well-deserved recipients as they arrive, so they can fully experience the appreciation behind each message. And if you’re able to capture photos of your staff with their certificates, we would love for you to share them with us!
Every donation made through PATS helps fund IPSF’s Innovative Grants Program, bringing powerful ideas and creative learning experiences into classrooms across the district.

TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK MAY 11-MAY 15
Teacher Appreciation Week (May 11–15)
“Relax. Recharge. You Deserve It.”
We’re excited to celebrate our incredible teachers and staff all week long! This is a special time for our school community to show gratitude for the care, dedication, and impact our educators have every single day.
The PTA will be providing daily treats and activities, and we invite students to join in with simple, meaningful gestures of appreciation throughout the week:
Monday — Start the Week Refreshed
Encourage your child to bring a kind note or drawing to brighten their teacher’s day.
Tuesday — Pouring Into You, For Once
Have your child share one thing they love or appreciate about their teacher.
Wednesday — Wellness Wednesday
“Take a Moment — You’ve Earned It”
Students can write how their teacher helps them feel supported, confident, or calm.
Thursday — Because You Give So Much
Optional: bring a small token of appreciation (favorite snack, flower, or handmade card).
Friday — Breathe In, Stress Out — It’s the Weekend!
Wrap up the week with a heartfelt “thank you”—a note or kind words go a long way!
Simple, thoughtful gestures mean the most.
Thank you for helping us make this week special for our amazing teachers and staff!
