IMMS Family Flier
May 17, 2026
Dear Indian Mound Middle School Students and Families,
As we head into the final stretch of the school year, the excitement is building here at Indian Mound Middle School! Our staff is working hard to plan a variety of fun and meaningful end-of-year events that celebrate our students' growth, foster connection, and finish the year on a high note.
From field trips and celebrations to classroom showcases and school spirit activities, there are plenty of opportunities for students to stay engaged, reflect on their accomplishments, and make lasting memories with their peers.
We remain focused on creating a positive and inclusive environment where every student feels seen, supported, and inspired to finish strong. Thank you for partnering with us throughout the year — we’re grateful for your continued support and look forward to celebrating the end of the year together!
Thank you for all you do to support our school community!
With appreciation,
IMMS Administration
Jamie Thomas
Principal, Indian Mound Middle School
Brett Jondle, Associate Principal
Our grade level track meets are coming up at the end of May, and we are looking for parent volunteers to help make the day run smoothly.
If you are interested and available to help, please sign up here:
6th Grade Track Meet Volunteer Sign-up - Tuesday, May 26th (8:30 - 12:15pm)
7th Grade Track Meet Volunteer Sign-up - Wednesday, May 27th (8:30 - 12:15pm)
8th Grade Track Meet Volunteer Sign-up - Thursday, May 28th (8:30 - 10:15am)
We appreciate your time. Your support helps make this a fun and successful experience for all students!
We know some families ask teachers to write in the Dr. Suess book "Oh The Places You'll Go" at the end of the school year to save for graduation. Our teachers love to take part in this tradition but are asking that if you are requesting them to write a note in the book for your child, could you please get the book to the teachers ASAP. Sometimes, the requests come in the last few days of school and it is often difficult for our staff to give them the attention they deserve. Thanks so much!
We Almost Made It, but Not Quite
Because of the generous donations of parents, our staff at IMMS have enjoyed the treat of having coffee in our lounge to pick us up each day. With the supply we had, we thought we were going to make it through until the end of the school year. Unfortunately, that is not going to happen. If you wish to make a donation to get us through until the end, please visit our Amazon registry here. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
- Be on Time! School starts at 8:20am. Students who arrive after 8:20am (without a medical note/appointment note, etc.) will be marked as tardy. After five tardies in one quarter, a check in meeting with the student, as well as contact home will occur to partner on ways to get the student to school on time.
- Off and Away! Cell phones and headphones must be off and away starting at 8:15am.
- Caffeinated Drinks: students may not consume caffeinated drinks while at school.
- Respect the Bubble: An area of focus this year is to teach and re-teach the importance of having students keep their hands, feet, and objects to themself. If you see this behavior, please continue to reinforce the "Respect the Bubble" expectation
PTO - Did You Know?
Did you know the PTO collects funds all year, but our biggest request comes in May so that we can prepare and budget for the upcoming school year? The PTO is led by volunteer parents who donate their time as well as community monetary donations. Please watch social media or your child’s backpack for a flyer on all the ways the PTO supports the McFarland Early Childhood through 8th Grade schools and education. Please contact us with any questions about joining or donating: mcfarlandptoprez@gmail.com
