October is National Bullying Prevention Month
October is National Bullying Prevention Month. Schools, organizations, and communities are raising awareness of bullying prevention and teaching students how to respond effectively to bullying situations. At Isanti Middle School, we have several activities in place to help our students with this difficult topic.
IMS Cares Color Run: Wednesday, October 18
- In collaboration with Cambridge Middle School, Isanti Middle School will host our third annual IMS Cares Color Run.
IMS Cares Color Run
We will host our third annual IMS Cares Color Run on Wednesday, October 18. This event is a joint effort with Cambridge Middle School. Students who are interested in participating will have the opportunity to purchase an IMS Cares Color Run t-shirt leading up to the event. The $10 purchase will cover the cost of the t-shirt and materials needed for the color run. Any additional proceeds will be donated to a cause in support of bullying prevention in schools. Any students not participating in the event will be on the sidelines cheering on the runners. Staff members are also encouraged to run the race!
Attendance Matters
Cambridge-Isanti Schools and Isanti Middle School want every student to be successful. The first step is coming to school and attending all your classes.
- Continuing Truant means a student who is under 17 years old who is absent from school, without valid excuse, for three or more days. (Minnesota Statute 260A.02 subd. 3.)
- Habitual Truant means a student under the age of 17 years old who is absent from school, without valid excuse, on seven or more days. (Minnesota Statute 260C.007, subd. 19.)
If absent, please call the school and provide the reason for the absence. Please know that it is the responsibility of the school to determine whether the absence is Excused or Unexcused. We all want the same thing. We want our students to be as successful as possible. For this to happen, we need them to attend school every day they are able. THANK YOU for your support for this new endeavor.
