Digital Backpack

Welcome to the Digital Backpack

If you’re looking for Indianola school and community events and information, then you’ve come to the right place! To cut down on paper usage and the volume of materials sent home with students each week, non-profit organizations are asked to submit their events, announcements, and flyers to our digital backpack. In accordance with board policy, here you will find information from school sponsored, affiliated, and supported organizations; non-profit community organizations, programs, camps; and more.
