The April 2025 IUSD Insights is out now! Each month, as part of our commitment to ensuring the IUSD community is well-informed about District priorities, initiatives, successes and challenges, we will share insights, innovations, news and more, while highlighting the many voices that put the "US" at the center of IUSD.

The April Parent Workshops include the Screens and Teens Parent Workshop and Special Education Coffee and Connections.
