Schedule Change - Afternoon Dismissal - THANK YOU!
Thank you for making the first three days of our new schedule and afternoon dismissal go so smoothly. We understand how this additional time in the day, plus the increased traffic at dismissal, can add to the stress families are already feeling. Your assistance and patience, added to the great work by our transportation department and bus drivers, plus the efforts of IMS staff supervising the transfer, has made this change go as smoothly as possible.
THANK YOU!
October is Bullying Prevention Month
October is National Bullying Prevention Month. Schools, organizations, and communities are raising awareness of bullying prevention and teaching students how to respond effectively to bullying situations. At Isanti Middle School, we have several activities in place to help our students with this difficult topic. In collaboration with Cambridge Middle School, Isanti Middle School will host our second annual IMS Cares Color Run on Wednesday, October 19.
We will also encourage all students to wear orange on Tuesday, October 18 in support of Unity Day 2022. Make it ORANGE and make it end! What are your true colors when it comes to showing that you believe that all youth should be safe from bullying? Come together in one giant ORANGE message of hope and support, WEAR AND SHARE ORANGE to color our nation, and even the world, visibly showing that our society believes that no child should ever experience bullying.

Event Expectations -- CHANGE
Middle School Students
Middle school students are expected to be in the stands watching the event/activity.
Middle school students must:
Sit within the “Middle School” section, or
Sit with the adult who brought them to the event.
Students - We WANT you at the game. We want you being safe and making good choices and that is why we are making this change across all schools in the district. This is another opportunity to practice and demonstrate the Bluejacket Way!
