Isanti Middle School

IMS Families,

We hope you were all able to spend some time over the winter break spending time with friends and family. As we move into 2022, we wanted to thank you for everything you do for your students every day. As with most things these past two years, we continue to see new challenges every day. While these can often seem overwhelming, we can continue to meet these challenges through communication and working together.

56% of our students (302 of our 543) were recognized for having a 3.0, or higher, Grade-Point Average (GPA). Of those, 20 students achieved perfect 4.0 GPAs for the first 12 weeks of the year. We also recognized 9 students who had perfect attendance.

• 6th Grade: 62% recognized
• 7th Grade: 58% recognized
• 8th Grade: 47% recognized

Students, WELL DONE!!

Winter conferences are just around the corner. We'll have an Open conference night Thursday, February 3. We will send information out in two weeks with more details about how to sign up for a time on this night. We will then follow-up this night with teachers reaching out to families of Selected Students for Selected Conferences.

2021-22 IMS Student Handbook

In the event that we are not able to hold school in person due to a winter storm or cold weather, we move to an eLearning Day in Cambridge-Isanti. A flexible eLearning Day means that school can be in session without students and staff being physically present at the school. Below is more information on our eLearning Day.

All teachers will be available from 10am-3pm by school email or within their open Google Meets. Please see the modified schedule for students to join their class Google Meets for additional questions and supports.

The link to an updated Covid-19 Testing Program

While there is currently no charge for student meals this school year, there is still plenty of benefit to filling out a Free and Reduced Meals application! Approval may also qualify you for discounts with Athletics and Activities, Community Education, Advanced Placement testing and various fees throughout the district and Pandemic-Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT). Please see the following income guidelines to see if your family might qualify.
You can submit an application electronically through Skyward Family Access or complete the paper version of the application, which can be faxed at 763-689-6200 attention: Debbie or emailed to dknickerbocker@c-ischools.org.

• If you have submitted an application and have been approved for meal benefits there is nothing further that you need to do.
• If you have any questions regarding the application please feel free to contact Debbie at 763-689-6237.

With the upcoming holiday break affecting processing, we are encouraging anyone who feels they may qualify to apply as soon as possible.

IMPORTANT PANDEMIC EBT UPDATE
Students who qualify for free or reduced-price meals may be eligible for Pandemic-Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT). To be considered, households must submit an application for free or reduced-price meals for the 2021-22 school year or be approved for Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP) or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. Families who received P-EBT benefits last year are not automatically eligible; eligibility is based on the current school year. To ensure you qualify for the most benefits, please submit your application as soon as possible.
