Have You Heard?

There's a Book Fair coming to the IMC next Tuesday and Wednesday, March 18 & 19. For this Book Fair, P.T.O. is partnering with the Sports Banquet for Wednesday night. There are sure to be plenty of choices. Maybe even some of the books you have read about in this blog. Those of you who would like to get a head start on the 2009 Rebecca Caudill nominees, I include the list here. Some of nominees may even show up at the Book Fair. See if you can find something to enjoy over spring Break. See you at the Fair!

Sorry for the Inconvenience

Have you been trying to look up a book on the IMC IPAC this week and found it's not available. Well, you are not alone.

If you are trying to use the IMC IPAC outside of school, you may find access blocked. Our automation system is experiencing growing pains with the recent upgrade. If someone enables the Search Suggestions option in the IPAC, it causes a system crash. Until a member of the IMC staff comes in and resets the IMC server, the IPAC will not work. Please excuse our dust during this remodeling period.

The same condition exists at Ide and Prairieview Schools, so their IPACs may also not be available. The IMC staff will restore the system as soon as possible to allow for outside use. We hope the wait for the next upgrade which will fix this problem is not long.
