District Calendar - Inver Grove Heights Community Schools
District Calendar 2013-2014 A Message from the Superintendent Welcome to the 2013-2014 school year! Whether you have school-age children or simply believe in supporting strong schools, I invite you to attend functions listed throughout this calendar as a way to stay connected with the future of our community. The 2012-2013 school year was an extraordinary one in ISD 199 that was filled with much success. The Minnesota Department of Education named Hilltop Elementary a Celebration School. The Washington Post and Newsweek ranked Simley High School among the top high schools in the country. ISD 199’s preschool program received a 4-Star Parent Aware rating. District staff, students and buildings received many accolades that leave us with much promise and excitement heading into the 2013-2014 school year. Student service was a point of pride throughout the school year. Pine Bend Elementary raised more money than any school in Minnesota in the Jump Rope for Heart. Salem Hills Elementary students participated in the H2O for Life water walk for a sixth straight year, educating the public about the need for better access to clean water in developing countries. Inver Grove Heights Middle School students created inventions to better the community. This is just a quick snapshot of the accomplishments and experiences that maximize opportunities for young learners and our diverse community. Please visit our schools, the district website or join a community education class to witness all of the exciting activities that occur in our schools on a regular basis. We hope to see you soon! Dr. Deirdre A. Wells, Superintendent About the District Calendar The district calendar includes information about school events, sports, non-school days and more. The most recent information available was used for this publication. Because times and dates may change, please check the district website for the most current information. For Simley athletic schedules, please visit the Classic Suburban Conference website at www.classicsuburban.org. Transportation Transportation safety guidelines are established to help ensure the safest ride possible for each passenger who rides a school bus. Riding the bus is a privilege, and Safe-Way Bus Company is mainly responsible for transporting students in grades K-12 to and from school. District 199 buses are used primarily to transport special education students. We also provide the majority of the transportation for athletic trips, special programs and Community Education trips. Bus information will be printed in the 199 Reporter, delivered to homes in August. It will also be available on the district website. Questions about bus schedules should be directed to Safe-Way Bus Company, 651-4511375. Questions regarding transportation of special education students should be directed to District 199’s Transportation Office, 651-306-7095. Calendar Key *Red numbers in the lower left-hand corner of each day are elementary cycle days. The Minnesota Department of Education named Hilltop Elementary School a Celebration School. Simley High School is nationally ranked among America’s best high schools by the Washington Post and Newsweek. ISD 199 has been named an ENERGY STAR Leader for increasing energy efficiency and lowering energy costs district-wide.
