WHAT a surprise! WHAT a great lunch! WHAT eyes our teachers got from the kids as they enjoyed! 👀🤣 And finally... WHAT a great show of support from our new neighbor 🧡🍔Whataburger🍔🧡 Thank you so much for feeding our staff and making us extra excited to come to work on Monday! We wish you all the best when you OFFICIALLY open later this week!

Ms. Jollie sent over a few photos sharing what she did with her class last Thursday! She writes: "Today in class, we were doing the spaghetti marshmallow challenge. Seeing which team could collaborate & communicate to create the tallest tower with a marshmallow at the top using only 20 pieces of dry spaghetti and a yard of masking tape." This is such a fun and creative way to teach a lesson in your 5th Grade Math&Science classes. Thank you for sharing!

It’s just the first week, it our teachers are hitting the ground running! Ms. Buck, who teaches 6th Grade science, wanted to share this activity with our families. She writes: “This week our class participated in the Cup-Stack-Challenge, a fun yet purposeful team-building activity. Students worked in small groups to stack cups into a specific shape without ever touching them directly. Instead they had to use strings attached to a rubber band requiring careful, coordination, patients and problem-solving. While it may have looked like simple play this activity helped students practice importance skills like communication, collaboration, and resilience. Students had fun, but also helped strengthen life skills beyond the classroom. I was proud of the way they encouraged one another and celebrated their teamwork.” Thank you for sharing Ms. Buck! And awesome job, Warriors! #ilis #wearewarriors #theintermediateschool

The big day is almost here- and we are SO READY to welcome your children into our halls! Helpful Reminders: -There will be morning traffic, and a lot of it! Our doors open at 7:35am, and our tardy bell rings at 8:20am. Buses might be late as they pick up elementary first. Along with full backpacks and bellies, please pack patience in the morning. It will even out in a few weeks and you'll find your target time to leave the house or arrive at the bus stop. -Dismissal starts at 3:10pm. The car rider line usually starts moving around 3:15pm. If you do not have a car rider tag, have your ID ready to present and we will give it to you in the car rider line. -For our new 5th grade and 6th grade families- don't worry! It will be "all hands on deck" to make sure your kids know where they're headed and feel comfortable navigating the building! Most of all, remember that it's going to be an amazing year at The Intermediate School. We are ready, we are excited, we are prepared... 💙WE ARE WARRIORS💙

Good Afternoon,

Bus Routes are officially live. Be sure to check the routes as bus numbers and routes have changed since last year. Please note that you should expect some delay s as we have lots of new students in our district. Our buses run their elementary routes first, followed by Intermediate/Middle, then high.

Bus Routes: https://lancastercsdsc.sites.thrillshare.com/o/lancaster-csd/page/bus-routes

We know that transportation changes can be frustraiting. Our Bus Department has set up a page where they post transportation changes as soon as they have them available to families. We recommend you bookmarking this page now and be sure to check it daily for any changes that could arise.

Daily Transportation Changes: https://www.lancastercsd.com/o/safety-transportation/article/1503715

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Bus Office at 803-283-0606. Again, we cannot handle anything transportation related at the school level.

We want to thank the Transportation Department for all of their hard work to get these schedules out. We appreciate them, and our drivers, for all they do to make sure our students are safe!

Thank you,
Indian Land Intermediate

Good Evening,

ILIS has officially released schedules for the 2025-26 school year. Please check Powerschool for your schedules.

At this time, due to the high enrollment numbers, we cannot accommodate any schedule changes.

We look forward to a great year with your students!

Thank you,

Remember when it was Winter the last week of school? (What was that about!?) Ms. Harwood and her students had no more assignments, no Chromebooks, and no recess due to the pouring rain. She got out the board games and the kids had indoor recess like it was 1999! Woohoo! We miss our Warriors- a little more than a month away until we are back! We hope you're soaking up the summer! 😎 #wearewarriors #ilis
