Continuing the child’s education in the school of origin for as long as the child remains homeless or, if the child becomes permanently housed, until the end of the academic year during which the housing is acquired; or 2. Enrolling the child in any school that non-homeless students who live in the attendance area in which the child or youth is actually living are eligible to attend. MANDATED REPORTERS All school personnel, including teachers and administrators, are required by law to immediately report any and all suspected cases of child abuse or neglect to the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services. SCHOOL VISITATION RIGHTS The School Visitation Rights Act permits employed parents/guardians, who are unable to meet with educators because of a work conflict, the right to time off from work under certain conditions to attend necessary school functions such as parent-teacher conferences. Letters verifying participation in this program are available from the school office upon request. SEX OFFENDER & VIOLENT OFFENDER COMMUNITY NOTIFICATION LAWS State law requires that all school districts provide parents/guardians with information about sex offenders and violent offenders against youth. You may find the Illinois Sex Offender Registry on the Illinois State Police’s website at: http://www.isp.state.il.us/sor/. ​ ​ You may find the Illinois Statewide Child Murderer and Violent Offender Against Youth Registry on the Illinois State Police’s website at: http://www.isp.state.il.us/cmvo/. ​ ​ SEXUAL PREDATOR NOTIFICATION LAW State law prohibits a convicted child sex offender from being present on school property when children under the age of 18 are present, except for in the following circumstances as they relate to the individual’s child(ren): 1. To attend a conference at the school with school personnel to discuss the progress of their child. 2. To participate in a conference in which evaluation and placement decisions may be made with respect to their child‘s special education services. 3. To attend conferences to discuss issues concerning their child, such as retention or promotion. In all other cases, convicted child sex offenders are prohibited from being present on school property unless they obtain written permission from the superintendent or school board. Anytime that a convicted child sex offender is present on school property for any reason– including the three reasons above – he/she is responsible for notifying the principal's office upon arrival on school property and upon departure from school property. It is the responsibility of the convicted child sex offender to remain under the direct supervision of a school official at all times he/she is in the presence or vicinity of children. A ​ violation of this law is a Class 4 felony.

I hope that your experiences with parent teacher conferences were positive ones and you were able to connect with your child’s teacher. The connections between home and school are so very important! Working in partnership is the best way to help our kids reach their potential! Now that fall has officially arrived and the unpredictability of Wisconsin weather is also here, I am asking for your help in making sure that warm clothing is sent to school with your child. It is not a bad idea to make sure that warm jackets, stocking hats, gloves/mittens are being sent with your child to school. Once the snow begins to fly, also make sure that boots and snow pants are making the trip with your child as well. We will continue to go out for recess during cold weather, so please help in making sure that proper clothing is sent with your child. I was informed that Pokemon cards have been around since 1998. That is a long time, and the fad has not faded away! Pokemon and trading cards have been causing some heartaches, tears, and disagreements here at school. I am asking that you please keep these items at home. I want to thank you for your help and support in reporting into our office upon entering the building for visiting within our building.

  • District Handbook 2021-2022
    District Handbook 2021-2022 www.linnmar.k12.ia.us Welcome. Superintendent’s Message I want to welcome everyone to the start of the 2021-22 school year! Here’s to hoping that this year will be a little less chaotic and that we don’t experience another pandemic or natural disaster! Last year was unique, to say the least, as we weaved our way through the COVID-19 Shannon Bisgard pandemic and dealt with the impact of a derecho. We also faced the challenges of opening two new Intermediate Schools, Hazel Point and Boulder Peak. I have said it many times, but I am proud of our students, families, and staff for their adaptability and dedication to education. Despite all of the challenges that we faced last year; it was inspirational to see everyone pull together to ensure the students continued their learning. As we kick off the 2021-22 school year, I am excited to have the majority of our students and staff back in the buildings for in-person learning. It is great to have the hustle and bustle of people in the hallways and the excitement of learning in our classrooms again. We also continue to offer virtual learning this year, and we are pleased to be able to extend this option for the students and families. Another exciting change for 2021-22 is the district’s new Venture Academics program. This hands-on, project- based learning program is offered to high school students as a replacement to our former collaboration in Iowa BIG. We are excited to offer our own in-house program that will allow more students to participate due to it being located on campus.
