IMMS Family Flier
November 9, 2025
Dear Indian Mound Families,
November is off to a fantastic start at Indian Mound! We’ve had so many moments that highlight the talent, character, and community spirit of our students. Our 6th grade choir, orchestra, and band students took the stage for their fall concerts and filled the auditorium with wonderful music, a true celebration of their hard work and dedication. Thank you to our families for supporting these young musicians and cheering them on!
Our 7th graders recently participated in the Courage Retreat, an impactful day focused on kindness, empathy, and making positive choices. It was inspiring to see students engage in meaningful discussions and take time to reflect on what it means to create a respectful and inclusive school community.
We also gathered for our Monthly Celebration Assembly, recognizing students who have gone above and beyond in demonstrating our Spartan values. It’s always a joy to come together as a school to celebrate the big and small ways our students make Indian Mound a better place each day.
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
Keeping Our School Healthy - Important Illness Guidelines
With the cold and flu season approaching, your partnership is essential in keeping our school community healthy and safe. Please take a moment to review our health policies and the necessary steps to take if your child becomes ill.
When to Keep Your Child Home: If your child is sick, please keep them home. Students presenting with the following symptoms at school will be sent home:
Temperature above 100.4°F
Vomiting or diarrhea
Frequent, uncontrollable cough
Return-to-School Policy: Your child must remain home until they have been free of fever, vomiting, or diarrhea for a full 24 hours without the use of medication. We adhere strictly to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) Communicable Disease Guidelines for exclusion criteria.
Notifying School Health Services: We rely on timely communication from families to track and prevent the spread of illness. Please notify the School Attendance or Health Office if your student has tested positive for a communicable disease, including: Influenza/Flu, COVID-19, Croup, RSV, Strep Throat, Hand Foot & Mouth, Chicken Pox, Pertussis, etc. We track all reported cases and monitor health patterns across the school. In instances where multiple cases of the same illness are confirmed within a specific classroom or grade level (e.g., several strep throat cases), we will issue targeted, case-by-case notifications to the affected families.
For detailed information on these guidelines, please review the district's comprehensive MSD Health Services Handbook and Guidelines for sending your child to school. Thank you for your ongoing partnership. Together, we can ensure a safe and healthy learning environment for everyone!
