Iowa School Alerts
The Indianola Community School District has signed up to take part in a new notification system offered by the State of Iowa
called ―Iowa School Alerts.‖ This program gives parents, the media and others the opportunity to sign up to receive e-mail
notifications directly when we have cancelled classes, or will be dismissing early or starting late due to weather or other
factors. This service, which was developed by IT staff at the Department of Administrative Services, is free of charge to you
and the school. The State funded the development of this program through the IOWAccess initiative, which seeks to bring
more e-government services to the people of Iowa. And because the system is funded and operated by the state, you can be
assured that your e-mail addresses will not be sold to anyone and you will not receive advertisements or spam due to
enrolling in the program.
Here’s how you can take advantage of this free service & sign up for e-mail alerts:
1. Click on ―Sign Up!‖ in the Main Menu at https://schoolalerts.iowa.gov. This will take you to the ―Enterprise A&A‖
screen for the State of Iowa. If you already have an account with the State (say, for another online application),
there’s no need to create another one.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions to enter your name and e-mail address, and create secret questions and your
password. This step involves obtaining a code from an e-mail sent to you to confirm your registration.
3. Once you have created and confirmed your account registration, you will be taken back to the School Alerts site
where you can click on ―My Subscriptions‖ to add the school districts/buildings you would like to receive notices
for. Once you’ve selected a school, you are asked to enter the e-mail addresses or cell phone addresses where you
would like notifications sent. You can add as many e-mail addresses as you’d like! (Please note that some wireless
services providers may charge you for receiving e-mails or text messages. You are responsible for those charges.)
We will still make sure that local media outlets are notified when there’s a change in our classes so notices will still be made
on the television and radio, but we hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to be directly notified as well!
If you have any questions about signing up for Iowa School Alerts, please contact the Indianola Community School District’s
administration office at (961 – 9500) or e-mail [email protected].

The Indianola Community School District welcomes the 2011-12 Purple and Gold Preschool and kindergarten classes. If you have
a child who will be four years of age (preschool) or five years of age (kindergarten) on or before September 15, 2011, please plan
to attend registration on Monday, January 17, at 7:00 PM at Indianola High School. The evening will begin with an informational
session in the high school auditorium followed by registration in the cafeteria directly across from the auditorium. January 24 is the
make-up date if registration is postponed due to inclement weather.
The Indianola Community School District has four elementary attendance centers: Emerson, Irving, Whittier and Laura Ingalls
Wilder. The district offers a full-day kindergarten program. Two calendar choices—Traditional and Year-Round Education
(YRE)—will be offered. The year-round program is open to all district students and is located at Irving Elementary. Information
regarding both calendar options will be shared during Kindergarten registration.
Purple and Gold Preschool is currently offered at Whittier Elementary. This program offers morning and afternoon sessions five
days a week.
We strongly encourage all parents to attend the registration so we are able to prepare for your child’s arrival next fall. Registration
packets can be picked up at Emerson, Irving, Whittier and Wilder beginning Monday, December 13, during school hours.
Parents need to bring the child’s original birth certificate, a copy of immunization records and proof of dental screening
and blood lead testing to registration on January 17.
Parents and Guardians:
Please be respectful of our bus loading zones around the building.
The main buses load and unload on D Street, which is the east side of
the building. We also have a bus that picks up and delivers students
by the ramp on the southwest side of the building on Clinton Street.
Many times when the bus is trying to pull in there are cars parked in
the bus zone which makes it very difficult for the bus to maneuver
into its spot. Please be aware of the School Buses Only signs and refrain from parking in
those areas. We thank you all so much for your help in making sure that all children are safe
during our arrival and dismissal times.
Dear Parents/Guardians:
For the safety of all of our students, the doors to Irving Elementary will remain locked during the school day. If you come to school during the
day, please go to the main entrance on Clinton Street. The main entrance will be the only door unlocked during school hours. At the beginning
of the school day, teachers will still be posted at each of the doors to allow students to enter the building till 8:10 a.m. After that time, students
will need to enter through the main doors
Everyone will be required to enter via the main entrance. This includes parents, community members, visitors, and volunteers. Everyone must
report to the office, sign in, and receive a visitor’s badge. Everyone must sign out in the office as well upon leaving the building.
School personnel have noticed that during the school day parents and non school age children have been playing on the playground during
school hours. For the safety of our students, only those parents who have signed in at the office to visit their student and are wearing a visitor’s
badge may be allowed on the playground during school hours. Per the student handbook (page 7) we ask that you not bring young children
with you during a visit.
Although this process may take more time and effort, it is designed to address concerns for the safety of our students. In the interest of safety
for all of our students, please observe these procedures when you visit Irving Elementary.
