On Wednesday, July 15, Ivywood board members and families came together to work on the school grounds. Together, they weeded the playground, added topsoil and seed to the new green space and mulched both the playground and green space.
“We’ve been wanting additional space for our students to be able to run and be kids,” said Laura Anne VanSickle, Ivywood’s Community Relations & Fundraising Coordinator. “The project was funded by past school fundraising events (like our Walk-A-Thon). We’re so excited to install soccer nets on our new green space. This will give students even more space for creative play.”
Even a new Ivywood family stepped in to help! The Karasev family offered to bring their tractor to the school to help move the topsoil and mulch quickly. This is a testament to how invested families are in the Ivywood community.
These improvements are just the start of what Ivywood has in mind. Next on the list is outdoor chalkboards and a new “backyard” space!

Ivywood Classical Academy is a tuition-free public school academy that will educate students using the virtues-based, content-rich, classical education tradition.
Parents may start dropping students off at 7:50 am. Doors open at 8:00 am, and there are three drop off options:
Option 1: Drop off at 7:50, a staff member will supervise students outside of the building until the door open.
Option 2: Park and walk to the entrance from 8:00 - 8:10. Parents may escort their children to the front or side doors.
Option 3: Utilize the car loop from 7:50 - 8:09
Ivywood utilizes a staggered dismissal. All parents must park and enter through the main entrance. All designated pick-up people must present their ICA identification barcode which will be scanned by an ICA employee prior to gaining entrance to the building. Students are dismissed directly from classrooms.
