Inver Grove Heights Middle School Daily Announcements
Monday, February 26th
New Announcements
From the ISD 199 District Office:
Last school year, the Start/End Time Review Committee determined that more conversation was needed about changing school start and end times at the elementary and secondary levels. The ISD 199 School Board and Superintendent Dave Bernhardson have decided to reconvene the committee to review new information and move forward with a final recommendation by the fall of 2018 to conclude the conversation and determine its impact on the Inver Grove Heights Schools community.
The district plans to conduct a final survey and schedule community meetings to gather feedback from stakeholders to make a final decision for the 2019-2020 school year. In addition to updating the community via district publications, information will also be posted on the district’s Start Time Review webpage, www.isd199.org/district/start_time_review.

Attendance information
Attendance at school is very important to a student’s success. We realize that at times students must miss school. If your child is going to miss school please call the attendance line as soon as possible at 651-306-7878 and leave a message with your child’s name and grade. If a student misses 2 or more days we can request make-up work.
* If you are picking your child up from school early, please send a note with your child to the office in the morning. It can be a distraction to the class if we have to quickly get a child out of class. Thank you for your understanding!

An Important Reminder for all students & parents…
All students must be accompanied by an adult in order to attend any home athletic events. This includes all middle school events as well as any high school events. We will turn students away at the door if they are not with an adult. Please know that a parent cannot just drop a student off for the night. They must buy a ticket and be in attendance during the event.
Si tiene preguntas, por favor póngase en contacto con Abbie Losinski (se habla español) en 651.955.6610.
