Isanti Middle School

As the end of the school year approaches schedules seem to get busier and busier. There are a number of activities and disruptions to the routine at school each week. We are asking our families and staff to please continue to remind students of the behavior expectations at school. Please encourage your child to continue to show Bluejacket Pride in everything they do!

Along with an increased number of changes in school schedules and routines, we know that family schedules can change more often during the spring. Please call, email or send a note for changes that you know ahead of time.

This year we have the unique opportunity to offer a wider variety of options for students to participate in during the summer months.

1. Summer Targeted Services (Math & Reading)
2. Extended Summer Opportunities
3. Middle School Hangout
4. 8th to 9th Grade Transition (current 8th graders)

Check out our Summer Programs webpage.

Is your child struggling in Reading or Math? Could they benefit from an academic boost this summer? If so, sign them up for Isanti Middle School Targeted Services! Students will work on their Reading, Math, and Science skills to help reduce the Summer slide.

Transportation is available and a snack is provided. No lunch this year. If you are having trouble signing up please contact the Office.

The start time in the morning has moved from 8:40 to 8:35. This slight adjustment gets most of our kids into their classrooms five minutes earlier. This won't affect students getting off the bus who need time to eat breakfast here at school. Those students will still be able to eat when they get here and then they'll go to class.

• Students being dropped off, if possible please drop them off by 8:30.
