Dear Iron Mountain Families,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to address a growing concern we are experiencing with morning bus pickups. Recently, our transportation team has reported frequent delays caused by students not being ready at their bus stops when the bus arrives.

As a reminder, it is posted on our district website that students should be at their designated bus stop at least 10 minutes before the published arrival time. This buffer allows for natural variations in the route and ensures that your child is ready to board safely and promptly.

When buses must wait several minutes for students to come outside, those minutes add up across the route. Unfortunately, this is resulting in buses arriving late to school and affecting students’ ability to start their day on time.

Beginning immediately, please be aware that buses will not wait more than a couple of minutes at each stop. If a student is not outside and ready, the bus will need to continue on its route to keep all pickups and arrival times on schedule.

We appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain safe, timely, and efficient transportation for all students. If you have any questions or need assistance, please feel free to contact our transportation department or the school office.

Thank you for your attention to this matter and for your continued support of Iron Mountain Schools.

Warm regards, Mr. Mendini North Elementary School Principal Iron Mountain Public Schools

Join us for our winter band concert tonight! Come enjoy an evening of festive music performed by our talented 6-12 grade band students! From holiday favorites to winter classics, it’s the perfect way to kick off the season. The concert starts at 6:00 PM!

Iron Mountain Public Schools would like to reward those at the Downtown Campus (5th-12th Grade) who have good attendance by doing monthly drawings for gift cards, because ATTENDANCE MATTERS!! Any student who has missed less than 10% of the school days in a month will be put in the monthly drawing.

​

December's winners will be announced after the Winter Break!

We’re excited to open up Marigold Nominations to our entire community!

Our staff has embraced the Marigold Effect, the idea that we grow stronger when we support and uplift one another. Now, we want to celebrate the students, staff, and families who make our building a better place every day.

Do you have someone you’d like to recognize? A moment worth celebrating? A quiet act of kindness that deserves to be seen?
