Academic Model Change Requests (For 3rd Trimester)
If you are interested in an academic model change for the last trimester of the school year, please complete this survey. Complete this ONLY if you are requesting a change in your child's academic model for the 3rd trimester. The survey closes at midnight on 2/19/2021. DO NOT complete this survey if you want your child to remain in his/her current placement.
Academic model changes will be considered based on space availability, enrollment, staffing, and while adhering to safety measures. Please note that changes are not guaranteed.
We have minimal space in our in-person models, especially in traditional. Please note that because of this, fewer academic model changes will be able to be accommodated.
If you have already indicated your interest in changing models, you must still complete this survey.

To take the parent survey now, click here. Thank you in advance for your participation. Your engagement, partnership, and support continue to enable IUSD to best serve our students.
