Welcome to Innovation Charter High School!
I am so excited to welcome you to the Warrior Family. My name is Shalia Desmond, and my role as the Dean of Families & Community Partnerships is to support the most important person in your young person’s life – you! I am here to share important information, answer all of your questions, and to support you from now until graduation day.
Official school communications are by phone call, mail and through ParentSquare. Please be sure to download the ParentSquare app onto your phone from the App Store or the Google Play Store. Keep us updated anytime your contact information changes by calling or emailing us with your updates.
The biggest key to success in high school is the involvement of supportive adults in our school community. I ask that you plan to attend three or more events during this school year, and to participate in the annual school survey in February. Throughout the year you will have opportunities to meet with teachers, attend events and celebrations, and volunteer with us through the Parent Teacher Organization. You’ll find classes in Parent University and opportunities to support our classrooms. You’re invited to attend the monthly meetings of the Parent Teacher Organization and the Board of Trustees.
You are welcome to e-mail me, call my direct office number or message me on ParentSquare anytime. Please feel free to stop by to chat in person with me as well. I’m looking forward to working alongside you to ensure the success of your young person during your years as a Warrior!
Sincerely,
