IGHMS and Simley HS are partnering with the American Heart Association to host an informational session about the dangers of vaping. Vaping continues to be in the news today as it is such a problem facing our young people. We know many of our middle school students are trying to vape. According to the 2016 Minnesota State Survey taken by all IGH 8th, 9th & 11th graders, 10.2% of 8th graders, 16.9% of 9th graders and a staggering 27.1% of 11th graders use tobacco or vaping products. IGH has the highest percentages at all grade levels compared to all Dakota County schools! We know this number has increased in the past three years. We hope to see you at this important presentation as every family can benefit from accurate information. Flyer

Extended Learning Days
In 2017, the Minnesota legislature amended its state statute on school year requirements to allow schools to use “e-learning days” when faced with dangerous winter weather. Schools can use these e-learning days, known as Extended Learning Days in the Inver Grove Heights Schools District, for up to five days per school year when schools close due to inclement weather. Each Extended Learning Day that schools use counts as a full school day to keep student learning on track and alleviate the need to add makeup days at the end of the school year.
Extended Learning Days will be used after two Snow or Cold Days cancel school. On the third day, families will receive an automated call that will state the reason that school will be canceled and that it is an Extended Learning Day. Click here to learn more about Extended Learning Days.
