The North Iowa Community School District is one of those districts that has implemented the idea, and it appears to be working well according to North Iowa Community Schools Superintendent Joe Erickson.The district schedule has students attending classes Tuesday through Friday. Extracurricular activities continue each day despite the school schedule, and this requires transportation on days when school is not in session. Erickson made sure to acknowledge the hard work of his transportation team in getting this done.The school year is still young and there may be some unforeseen hiccups along the way according to Erickson.Erickson continues to field positive comments about the new four-day schedule from both students and staff. The main topic is that there is more energy in the schools because of the reduced number of days during the week for actual class time.The change in the number of days during the week for class time does not mean the students have reduced the number of required hours and days to graduate. The four days when students are in the classroom during the week are adjusted to make up for the lost time of not being in school on Mondays.Friday, September 27thGarner-Hayfield-Ventura Football at Forest City 6:15 PM KIOW/FC/GHV Video StreamWebster City Football at Clear Lake 6:15 PM 103.7 The Fox/CL Video StreamWest Fork Football at West Hancock 6:30 PM B103/WH Video StreamNorth Union Football at Lake Mills 6:45 PM LM Video StreamBelmond-Klemme Football at Newman Catholic 6:45 PM BK Video Stream AUDIO ONLYNorthwood-Kensett Football at North Iowa 6:45 PM NK Video StreamDecorah Football at Mason City 7:00 PM 98.7 KISS Country/MC Video StreamIowa High School Scoreboard Show 10:00 PM KIOWSaturday, September 28thIowa State Football at University of Houston TBA KIOWHastings University Football at Waldorf University 1:00 PM KHAMSunday, September 29thMinnesota Viking Football at Green Bay 11:00 AM Pregame 12:05 PM Kickoff 103.7 The FoxTuesday, October 1stForest City Volleyball at Bishop Garrigan 6:45 PM KIOW/FC Video StreamWest Hancock Volleyball at Belmond-Klemme 6:45 PM B103/BK/WH Video StreamISU Coaches Show following FC Volleyball KIOWWednesday, October 2ndWarriors Live from Shooterz Sports Bar and Grill 7:00 PM KIOWThursday, October 3rdClear Lake Volleyball at Forest City 6:45 PM KIOW/FC Video StreamNorth Iowa Volleyball at Lake Mills 6:45 PM LM Video StreamFriday, October 4thClarion-Goldfield-Dows Football at Forest City 6:15 PM KIOW/FC Video StreamClear Lake Football at Algona 6:15 PM 103.7 The Fox/CL Video StreamSouth Central Calhoun Football at West Hancock 6:30 PM B103/WH Video StreamNorth Union Football at Lake Mills 6:45 PM LM Video StreamLake Mills Football at Belmond-Klemme 6:45 PM BK and LM Video StreamsGarner-Hayfield-Ventura Football at Okoboji 6:45 PM GHV Video StreamNorthwood-Kensett Football at Rockford 6:45 PM NK Video StreamMason City Football at Waterloo East 7:00 PM 98.7 KISS Country/MC Video Stream</div></body>
