We are excited to kick off ISASP testing season next week as our students showcase the knowledge and skills they’ve worked so hard to build all year! The Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP) provides a valuable snapshot of student growth in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, and we couldn’t be more proud of the effort and dedication our students and staff bring to preparing for these assessments. We look forward to celebrating their achievements and using the results to continue strengthening our instructional programs. For more details on the testing schedule, preparation tips, and what to expect, please see the attached documents. Thank you for your continued partnership—Mediapolis students are ready to shine, and we can’t wait to see them do just that! #MEPOPride
Attention 5th Grade Families!!! We would love for you to join us on Wednesday, April 29th!
Exciting News for Mediapolis Schools and Students!
CNH (CASE) announced today a generous new partnership with Mediapolis Schools and has committed $100,000 to expand and improve our Industrial Arts programming! These resources will help us drive college and career readiness by enhancing STEM opportunities in our courses, including:
Computer-Integrated Manufacturing & Design (2D and 3D)
Expanded STEM-focused Industrial Arts
Graphic Design and Gaming Design
Concurrent enrollment opportunities in Welding
The Mediapolis team is so thankful for this incredible upgrade for our students. Because of this donation, we will be able to renovate our existing facilities and provide incredible opportunities that reach our students in innovative ways — evolving our education to meet the ever-growing needs of industry.
As Dr. Magliari shared:
“Braden Manning, Ehren Housman, and the entire team at CNH have been collaborating with Mediapolis representatives for three months now to look at our programming and provide incredible opportunities in the areas we mentioned above. As both parties came full circle, we realized that when one door closes, another opens. Together with this incredible partnership, we will continue to enhance career opportunities for our students.”
Braden Manning from CNH added:
“We are investing in the future that will someday reshape the industry. It starts at the foundation, our kids. We are happy to partner with Mediapolis, which really cares about these initiatives and the future of their students.”
We are deeply grateful for this INCREDIBLE partnership and investment in our students' futures!

Reminder: No School April 3rd and April 6th.
April is National Financial Literacy Month and we would like to thank Sally Carter and Mediapolis Savings Bank for helping our high school students. Please follow this Link to view MSB's Video.
During March and April, construction is underway on our driveway, and heavy machinery will be coming in and out of the access road behind the school onto Iowa Street. There are to be no students riding bicycles or driving cars behind the school. We would also like to limit any cars from driving back there for any reason unless absolutely necessary. We appreciate your assistance in this matter to ensure the safety of all involved.
Thank you,
Dr. Magliari

Grades 6–12: Start at 8:00 a.m.
Grades PK–5: Start at 8:10 a.m.
Wednesday early release: Now 1:45 p.m. (instead of 1:15 p.m.)
--Bus pick-up times will remain the same. Wednesday bus drop-off times will be 30 minutes later than current Wednesday times.
This change lets us finish the required school days and dismiss for summer on Friday, May 22nd—right before Memorial Day weekend—without needing to return on May 26th or 27th. We appreciate your understanding and flexibility!
