4K and 5th grade Immunizations
If your child has health insurance, vaccinations need to be done by your primary health care provider or clinic. The health department is no longer able to provide immunizations to those with insurance coverage.
Who can go to the health department for vaccinations?
If your child is covered by BadgerCare/Medicaid,
if your child has no insurance coverage,
or if your child has insurance that does not cover vaccinations,
then you may receive immunizations at the health department.
If you have questions, contact Sharon Friederick, our School Nurse.

As we plan our educational programs for 2019 and beyond, we would like to know more about the specific financial topics that people want to learn about. To collect that information, we are asking for your assistance. Please click on the link below to take a brief survey.

Iowa-Grant Schools are Committed to Safety
The Iowa-Grant School District is committed to maintaining a safe and secure environment for our students and staff. The District has established policies and procedures that were designed to effectively deal with emergencies in our District and communities. These plans were created by our District Crisis Planning Team, in cooperation with our local fire and emergency services, as well as Iowa & Grant County Law Enforcement and Iowa County Emergency Management Services. A Family Guide to School Emergencies will go home to all families on Friday, January 11th so our families are informed and prepared.
Please Keep Student Information Updated
Parents: What To Do in an Emergency Situation
In an emergency situation, Iowa-Grant parents will be notified by telephone and email using School Messenger. An emergency message will include basic information about the nature of the emergency. It is likely that school phone lines and cell phones may be overwhelmed, please DO NOT call the school or come to the school. It is also likely that all roads surrounding the school will be closed to traffic during these events. Students will not be released to parents or families during building emergencies and outside doors will be locked. Please wait for further information regarding the incident and updates via School Messenger. We will make every effort to send updates as often as necessary. Depending on the situation, we will establish a reunification point and release the specific location once it has been established.
