The United Way Homework Helpers Hotline was launched last week. United Way Homework Helpers Hotline is a volunteer-based hotline aiming to support students with homework questions outside of the school day during this time of ever-changing learning models.
Operating hours are from 3:00 – 8:00 p.m., Sunday through Thursday. Call 211 for FREE Homework Help for students K - 12 and select #7 to speak with a Homework Hotline Helper. Interpreters also available.
Please share with students, teachers and families that could benefit from this resource.

Each January/February, ISFIS partners with Piper Sandler and Iowa's Area Education Agencies to host ISFIS Budget Workshops. This is the 11th year of these hands-on workshops that provide the opportunity for superintendents, SBOs and their teams to prepare their individual district Certified Budget in one highly productive day. Districts will leave the workshop with a completed Certified Budget and will know all options for publications. Attendees also learn about sales and property tax debt and other variables affecting district finances.
Typically, ISFIS Budget Workshops are held in-person at an Iowa AEA location, but after much deliberation, we decided the 2021 workshops will be virtual to ensure safety for all involved.
