Louisa-Muscatine Safe Schools Index: Near the end of last year Louisa-Muscatine students, parents, and staff participated in the first ever Iowa Safe and Supportive Schools (IS3) Survey that measured conditions for learning, including everything from school safety to student relationships with peers and adults. We were one of 47 high schools in the state to participate. By participating we received an IS3 Index. This index is an indicator (reflection) of the health of our school’s optimal conditions for learning in the areas of safety, engagement and environment, and is divided into the following 4 bands: We received an index for each of the three areas and an overall index. We received an overall index of 22 (out of 36), safety index of 9 (of 9), engagement index of 7 (of 18), and Environment Index of 6 (of 9). The overall index of 22 made us eligible to receive funding from the grant. Details on this index and the IS3 grant will follow in the December/January newsletter.
Administration Offices: We are now located in the West Wing of the High School - entrance is through the double doors closest to the football field. Our address (14478 170th Street, Letts IA 52754) and phone number (319-726-3541) remain the same.
