Isanti Middle School

Bluejacket Families:

There may be confusion and question as the state begins to roll-back its mask mandate, which was announced by the Governor last night. We received clear instruction from MDE that face-coverings are still required in schools through the end of the year. Specifically, the MDE notice stated:

Minnesotans who are not fully vaccinated are strongly recommended to wear face coverings indoors… our youngest Minnesotans remain ineligible for vaccines and eligibility for 12- to 15-year-olds was just announced this week. As a result, Minnesota’s Safe Learning Plan, along with the existing face covering guidance for schools and child care settings, remain in effect.Through the end of the 2020-21 school year (last teacher contact day), masks must continue to be worn by everyone inside school buildings or on a school bus.

Thank you for your continued support for our students and our school community.

Mr. Pauly

The Science MCA for 8th graders wraps up our yearly testing schedule. Thank you to everyone, students, parents, staff, for making this effort go so smoothly this year.

We will be having our first band concerts this year on Thursday, May 20th. Due to Covid restrictions, this year we will be performing our concerts during the school day utilizing our gymnasium. We will be recording the concerts and posting them to the school website.

Each year we celebrate our 8th grade students with a "graduation-like" 8th Grade Celebration. We adjusted our celebration last year as we finished the year Distance Learning.

This year we will again adjust our celebration due to Covid restrictions, while doing everything we can to capture the spirit of the event. At this time we plan to record the presentation and slideshow and cap it off with the Memories video we do each year. Students will be able to view the celebration from their classrooms and then we will post the celebration links to our school website.

8th grade students and parents, please consider sharing candid photos to be added to our Memories video. As this is a Memories video of our students' middle school years, we only include photos which are school related. If you have photos please email them to Mrs. Randall at mrandall@c-ischools.org. Please send them in by next Friday, May 21st.

• Parents: Please include select photos of your student in after school activities.
• Students: Please include select photos of you and peers at school.

We won't be able to include all photos, our goal is to have all of our students represented in this video.

St. Elizabeth Ann Seton’s parking lot is intended to be for church parking only. They’ve been gracious enough to tolerate parents parking in their secondary (southwest) lot for drop off and pick up. However, they have seen an increase in the number of vehicles cutting across their parking lot, either to get to Oakwood Street NW or to the southwest lot.

We have had a number of parent calls notifying us their student was choosing to stay home for the day and instead do distance learning. Please remember, we are currently in the In Person Learning model, with In Person learning Monday thru Thursday with Friday being a Distance Learning day. Unless a student has a medical reason, is in quarantine, or has a unique family reason preventing them from attending in person, they need to be in school. Please know that choosing to distance learn from Monday thru Thursday will result in an Unexcused Absence.
