IEQ stands for Indoor Environmental Quality. The process involves regular classroom checks in addition to semi-annual walk-throughs to ensure that our school maintains high standards of environmental quality. The IEQ Team consists of central staff, a school administrator, custodial staff, teachers, and students. The team reviews some of the following that may be areas of concern: air temperature, the security of shelving units, evidence of water leaks, electrical usage, and evidence of allergens and/or pests.

Our community will be able to view the summary report on our website as soon as it is prepared.
