Announcements & Important Dates

Dear Incline High School Families,
We’re steering into September with vibrant energy and enthusiasm! Despite being a shorter week, it’s been bustling with activities and achievements. We couldn’t be prouder of our students as they demonstrate teamwork and dedication, both on and off the field.

Kudos to our spirited Varsity Volleyball team who clinched two thrilling victories on the road this long weekend! Their hard work and determination surely paid off.

Though our football squad faced a setback, their spirit remains unbroken. We believe in their potential and are confident that they’ll bounce back stronger and more united in their upcoming matches. Keep shining, team!

We’re eagerly anticipating our Hispanic Parents’ Night this Wednesday, an event that celebrates the rich diversity that strengthens our school community. We’re incredibly grateful to the Boosters for their unwavering support and contributions to make this event a success.

As we step further into the month, please note that our first athletic grade check is on the horizon. We encourage you to utilize IC regularly to keep an eye on your child’s academic progress. Should you have any queries or concerns, feel free to reach out to your child’s teacher via email. We’re working tirelessly to update our Staff Directory with details of our newest members, to facilitate smoother communication.

Here’s to a September filled with growth, achievement, and community spirit! Thank you for being an integral part of our Incline High School family.

Warm regards,
Ms. Tierney Cahill
Principal

From the Counseling Department

Our school counselors are assigned based on students’ last names:
Mrs. Coombes: A-J
Ms. Rife: K-Z

To schedule an appointment with a counselor, Mr. Fragoso (FGA), or Ms. Carney (College and Career and Intern Specialist), please go to: 
https://outlook.office365.com/owa/calendar/IHSCounselingDepartment@washoeschools.net/bookings/

Note: If your student schedules an appointment during a core class, they will not be pulled from that class and will need to reschedule during an elective (with teacher permission), before or after school, during nutrition, or at lunch. Thank you for your understanding.

Parents, unless in case of emergency, please refrain from dropping in without an appointment as we will prioritize those with appointments booked with us, and sometimes we are out of the office due to district and/or IHS meetings, trainings, classroom lessons and grad planning, etc.

Senior parents!! Please look for an email in your inbox regarding Advisory class for your senior student!

Schedule changes: Students may pick up a green drop/add request form in the counseling office from Miss Bri starting Tuesday, Sept. 5. Parent and teacher signatures are required BEFORE counselors can review, and changes will be made on a first come first serve basis, and only when possible, given the student and master schedule.
