IMMS Family Flier
October 26, 2025
Dear Indian Mound Families,
We want to extend a big thank you to all our families who attended conferences this week! Your time, questions, and support make such a difference in helping our students learn and grow. We truly appreciate the partnership we share in guiding our middle schoolers toward success.
We also have some exciting events happening at Indian Mound Middle School! Our 7th graders will take part in Community Day, walking to McFarland Primary School to read with our youngest learners. This is such a fun opportunity for our students to connect, share stories, and spread a little extra kindness around our school community.
In addition, our orchestra students are getting ready for a field trip to the Overture Center, where they will enjoy a live performance and gain inspiration from experiencing music in a professional setting. These experiences are wonderful ways for students to explore, learn, and grow outside the classroom.
Thank you again for being part of our school community and helping make Indian Mound Middle School a safe, welcoming, and thriving place for all students!
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
We’re excited to announce that our 7th graders will once again take part in Community Day—an opportunity to give back to local organizations.
This year’s event begins with a visit to McFarland Primary School on October 30th from 8:50–9:45 a.m. Students will walk to MPS to read with first graders. Earlier this fall, first graders designed stuffed bears, and throughout the year, 7th graders will bring those drawings to life by sewing the bears in Family and Consumer Science class. This visit will be their first chance to meet their first-grade “bear buddies.”
This is just the start of our Community Day activities! In the spring, 7th graders will visit MPS again to reconnect with their buddies and will also participate in additional volunteer projects. We’ll be raising funds for local nonprofits that make a difference in our community—stay tuned for ways to get involved and support these efforts
- 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
School Meal Nutritional Information
For families whose children have special dietary needs, such as a food allergy or diabetes, it is important to know what's on the school lunch menu. You can find detailed nutrition information for our school's hot lunch (& breakfast) program by visiting My School Menu. Please see the instructions linked here.
While menus may change due to product availability, families will be notified in advance of any updates. Students can also access this information on their Chromebooks or phones (high school students only, during passing period/lunch). We encourage families and students to review menu and nutritional information prior to each day to ensure a safe and healthy meal choice.
If you have any questions or require assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to our Health Services or School Nutrition department.
