Iowa Mennonite School
▪ Safe Campus Initiative | We are making efforts to increase the safety of our
students, faculty and visitors at IMS. We have replaced several classroom door
locks and have equipped each classroom with emergency first aid kits. Prior to
classes starting our faculty and staff completed first aid and CPR training and
certification and it is our goal to purchase new fire extinguishers and two
more AED machines as funds become available. A major part of our safety
improvements is a new, keyless entry system for the main doors. All doors will
be locked during school hours (8:15AM-3:15PM).
Anyone visiting during those times will need to be let in at the main office
south doors. Visitors will now use a doorbell to notify the office and will be
let in promptly. Thank you for your patience as we all adjust to this change
and thank you for your prayers on behalf of the safety of IMS and for all
schools across our country.
▪ SAVE THE
DATE | Homecoming & Alumni Family Weekend will
