IPS News

I am excited to introduce myself as the new Assistant Principal at Isanti Primary School! I have been part of Cambridge-Isanti Schools since 2011, and my journey with the district began right here at IPS. Over the years, I have served in several roles, including at Isanti Middle School, with the Cambridge-Isanti Online program, and in Curriculum at the Education Services Center. I am thrilled to be back “home” at IPS and look forward to building relationships with our students and families. Please feel free to say hello when you see me—I’m excited to get to know you and partner with you throughout the year!

ARRIVAL: For students being dropped off at school, the car line is located at the north end of the building (in the back) from 7:15 to 7:25 AM. Once the buses arrive, the drop off line ends and parents need to park in the gravel parking lot to the northeast of the building. Our crossing guard crosses parents and students from 7:15 - 7:30 AM to enter the building. The back doors lock at 7:30 AM. After 7:30 AM, students need to be brought to the front office (Door 1) for check in.

DISMISSAL: At 2:05 PM, students who ride the bus will be dismissed and buses will leave by 2:10 PM. Parent pick up, at the north end of the building, begins immediately following the exit of the buses. We will once again be using the car line code system. Only Compass Learning and Little Sprouts daycare buses will be in the front of the building to pick up students who attend their childcare centers. Walkers who reside south of IPS are dismissed to the front. Walkers that live north of IPS are dismissed out the back.

Bus route information will be available in the new Skyward Family Access beginning the evening of August 31, accessible through both the app and desktop version. As we prepare for the start of school, our Transportation Team is planning for longer-than-usual route times where needed due to local road construction.

Once school begins, families can expect regular updates about significant route delays through text messages, our district website and the C-I Schools mobile app. Watch for a more complete transportation update from the district in the next two weeks with additional information to help your family prepare for the first day of school.

As we begin the new school year, we want to share an update about our school calendars. To ensure the digital information we provide on our website is accessible to all families and community members, our former printable, at-a-glance calendar is no longer posted on the district website.

Printed copies are still available at Back to School events, school main offices, and the Education Services Office. Families can also find the most current school and district dates in the Events section of our websites and in the C-I Schools mobile app. Each school website includes building-specific events, while district-wide dates such as non-school days and holidays are also included.

To find your school calendar, visit c-ischools.org, select Schools, and choose your child’s school. If you are unable to find an event or information you are looking for, please feel free to reach out. We are always happy to help.
