Message from the District Office
In October 2018, the Inver Grove Heights School Board approved the proposed revised school start times. The approval followed a process that was carried out over two school years. Beginning in the fall of 2019, elementary schools will run from 7:50 AM to 2:30 PM. Secondary schools, middle and high school, will run from 8:30 AM to 3:20 PM.
Please visit http://tinyurl.com/199transitionplan for the 2019-2020 Family Smooth Transitions Plan.
Smooth Transitions is the district plan that responds to family questions about school start and end times, what student schedules will look like, and how the change will impact students and families at various levels. As plans continue to be made, information will be available in updated handbooks, on the district website, through transportation via bus schedules, and directly from your school.
