Superintendent's Office
Message from the Superintendent...
As the 2009-2010 school year draws to its half way point, many exciting educational opportunities are presented every day in all of our classrooms and programs within the school district. The programs and services of the Dickinson-Iron Intermediate School District through our departments of Career and Technical Education, Early Childhood Education and Special Education offer programs for children from Birth through young Adulthood. The General Services area offers extensive professional development for educators in all roles and capacities and in all content areas. Additionally, many collaborative support services are offered for non-instructional areas of school operation such as business services, pupil accounting and technical support.
The Dickinson-Iron Intermediate School District staff work in close partnership with all of our local school districts, the community and families to maximize a variety of resources in order to achieve opportunities for optimum educational experiences for all students. To be of service is our mission, our motto, “Your Partner in Education” stands for our commitment to meaningful service. As George Eliot wrote, “We make a living from what we get. We make a life from what we give. What we have done for ourselves dies with us. What we have done for others and the world is immortal.”
We are proud of what we offer here through the Dickinson-Iron Intermediate School District and strive to improve our services. Please visit the other departments of the D.I.I.S.D. on our website to find out more about the variety of programs and services we provide to students and school districts in Dickinson and Iron Counties.
Thank you for your interest in our school district.
Johanna M. Ostwald, Superintendent
Dickinson-Iron Intermediate School District
