Isanti Middle School

It's been another great week at IMS! Just as a reminder, we are planning on staying in our current learning model through Third Trimester. We will continue In-Person Learning Monday-Thursday with Fridays being a Distance Learning day. Please see the weekly and monthly schedules included below.

Have a tremendous weekend.

We are excited to offer C-I Schools Online (CIO) as a flexible option for students and families! CIO will be open to students in grades K-12 for the 2021-22 school year. This includes students in the Cambridge-Isanti School district as well as any student in Minnesota. To learn more, please join us at our virtual K-8 CIO Family Information Session at 6:30 pm on April 12. A link to this virtual session will be posted on our website. The video of the session will be posted on the website after the meeting.

Thank you for your help in making our morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up run a bit more smoothly. We still have a bit of work to do and would like to ask for your continued assistance and cooperation on the following.

Traffic Lanes (Please refer to pictures below.)

• Outside (Blue) Lane: Used for drop off, or pick up
• Inside (White) Lane: Used for through traffic, or parking

Drop-Off:

• To assist in the flow of traffic along the front sidewalk of IMS students should exit the vehicle anywhere along the sidewalk (blue in the picture).
• Students do not have to be dropped off at the front entrance of IMS.
  
• PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE drop the kids off as soon as you arrive and then depart. The traffic congestion will become much less if we drop and go

Pick-Up:

Students who walk/bike, or get picked up are the last group released, at about 3:15 pm. I would encourage you to have them wait for you, rather than you waiting for them.

Yield to Buses:

I would ask you to please yield to buses whenever coming on campus.

Does your student get enough sleep? Sleep is essential to health, both mental and physical, but most teens don't get the recommended 9-10 hours per night. Please consider a chat with your student about the importance of sleep and encourage them to use Change to Chill's "Head to Toe Relaxation" meditation - it's a great tool to help unwind at the end of the day.
