Ione School District has started our Kindergarten Jumpstart program. We will be in session for two weeks to prepare them for the start of the school year. With the guidance and direction of Madison Carlin, our students are establishing comfort with facilities, using our resources to engage in educational activities, and spending plenty of time on the playground. We are thankful to have our wonderful students and staff here to remind us that the most important part of a school is our kids!
A big welcome to: Kyson Scoggin, Anson McCabe, and Joe Miles


Yearbooks are available in the school office $15 each. We have lots of 19-20 books and 20-21 books. If you need an older yearbook, just ask, we have them!


Thank you, Ione voters, for passing the district General Obligation Bond! We appreciate your support of our students, and we look forward to improving our facilities for all.
