Dear Senior Mountaineer families,

Due to a scheduling change for the UP Regional Track Finals—an event outside the district’s control—there are a few adjustments to the seniors' end-of-year schedule:

**Senior Walk**
On Thursday, May 15th, seniors will begin their traditional walk through the high school at 7:50 a.m., wearing their caps and gowns. Afterward, they will visit North Elementary to walk the halls. Following both walks, seniors will be dismissed for the day.
*Note: Students taking the AP Computer Science Principles (CSP) exam must return to school at their scheduled test time.*

**Scholarship Night**
Scholarship Night is still scheduled for Friday, May 16th at 6:00 p.m. Any student who would have received a scholarship at this event, but can't be in attendance due to UP Regional Track Finals, will receive their scholarship at graduation.

**Class Picnic**

The senior picnic is also still scheduled for May 16th. Students should report to the school by 7:50 a.m. The bus will depart shortly after, and students will return later in the day. Upon return, students will be dismissed. Those attending the UP Regional Track Final will board the bus to Pickford High School at 7:00 AM. We apologize for the students that will be missing the senior picnic, we would like to remind families that this schedule change was completely out of our control.


Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Reality Fair at IMHS

Dear Parent/Guardian,

The Iron Mountain School District is continuing to implement an innovative program for our student-
athletes. This program will assist our team physicians/athletic trainers in evaluating and treating head injuries (e.g., concussion). In order to better manage concussions sustained by our students, we use a software tool called ImPACT (Immediate Post Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing). ImPACT is a computerized exam utilized in many professional, collegiate, and high school sports programs across the country to successfully diagnose and manage concussions. If a student is believed to have suffered a head injury during competition, ImPACT is used to help determine the severity of head injury and when the injury has fully healed.


The computerized exam is given to students every two years to ensure the accuracy. This non-invasive test is set up in “video-game” type format and takes about 20-25 minutes to complete. It tracks information such as memory, reaction time, speed, and concentration. Essentially, the ImPACT test is a preseason physical of the brain. It, however, is not an IQ test.

If a concussion is suspected, the student will be required to re-take the test. Both the preseason and post- injury test data is given to a local doctor to help evaluate the injury. The information gathered can also be shared with your family doctor. The test data will enable these health professionals to determine academic accommodations, when appropriate, and when return-to-play protocols (if applicable) are safe for the injured student to begin. If an injury of this nature occurs to your child, you will be promptly contacted with all the necessary details to ensure proper and timely management of the condition as well as the most forward thinking quality care.

I wish to stress that the ImPACT testing procedures are non-invasive, and they pose no risks to your student. We are excited to continually implement this program at the Iron Mountain School District given that it provides us the best available information for managing concussions and preventing potential brain damage that can occur with the incidence of multiple concussions. The Iron Mountain School District administration, coaching, and athletic training staff are striving to keep your child’s health and safety at the forefront of the student athletic experience.

If you DO NOT want your child to take this test, please will out the attached form and have your student, return it to their teacher. Please feel free to contact Morgan Anderson at 906-776-9003 with any questions. If you wish to have your child take the test, no further action is needed.
