IMMS Family Flier
October 12, 2025
Dear Indian Mound Families,
October is a busy and exciting month at IMMS! From Anti-Bullying/Harassment Month and Family Conferences to our 6th grade Timber-Lee experience, there are many opportunities for our scholars to learn, grow, and connect.
October is Anti-Bullying/Harassment Month. Throughout the month, scholars will learn more about recognizing and reporting bullying and harassment and understanding their impact. We remain committed to creating a school where every scholar feels safe, respected, included, and a sense of belonging.
Family Conferences are coming up at the end of October! We look forward to connecting with families to celebrate each scholar’s learning, growth, and contributions to our school community. Please review the conference information below.
A Timber-Lee reminder: Our 6th graders will attend outdoor education on Monday, October 12, and Tuesday, October 13. Traffic near IMMS and the Staff Parking Lot will be significantly impacted Monday morning, especially around 8:00 a.m., as scholars drop off luggage. Please plan accordingly!
There will be no school for 6th graders on Wednesday, October 14.
Thank you for your continued partnership in making IMMS a welcoming, inclusive community where every scholar can belong, achieve, and grow!
Thank you for your continued support in helping us make IMMS a safe and welcoming place for all students.
In Service,
Jamie Thomas, Principal
Brett Jondle, Associate Principal
- 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 at school from 8:15am-3:30pm.
- 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
WI Immunization Requirements
Every school in Wisconsin is required by law to report their student’s vaccination status to the local health department 30 days after the start of school. See WI Student Immunization Law by Age/Grade Requirements (Spanish). Your student’s school health assistant will be sending out legal notices at that time if the school has no record or if your student’s immunization status is “behind schedule”. If you are not sure if your student is up to date with immunizations, you can contact your doctor's office/My chart, view on Infinite Campus, or you can look them up on the Wisconsin Immunization Registry using your child's social security number and/or Medical ID. If you need access to a waiver (for personal, religious or health reasons) for any vaccination, please utilize the student immunization record (English, Spanish) see step 4 and return it to your student’s health office.
Vaccine Clinics: Public Health Madison & Dane County is partnering with neighboring School Districts and SSM Health to offer school vaccine clinics to get and keep students up to date on their school vaccines. These clinics will take place at the below dates and times in Madison.
