WATER DAYS
5th Grade Promotion Ceremony
Wednesday, May 21st is the 5th Grade Promotion Ceremony!
Students should arrive as normal. Guests will use their tickets to attend the ceremony and be seated in the cafeteria by 8:45 am. If you wish for a sibling to attend, please come to the office and we will call them to join you.
After the ceremony, if you wish to sign your fifth grader out, please see your child's teacher to sign them out. If you wish to sign their sibling out, that must be done in the office.
Leader in Me Survey
Our school has been implementing Leader in Me, a whole-school approach designed to teach students valuable 21st-century leadership and life skills. This process fosters a culture of student empowerment by encouraging each child to develop their leadership potential.
To better understand our school's strengths and areas where we can improve, we are conducting surveys with various stakeholders. Your feedback is crucial for providing a comprehensive understanding of our school's current state.
If you choose to participate, you will complete an anonymous survey available through this link: https://www.leaderinme.com/s/india-hook-elementary-school/staff. Although participation is voluntary, we aim to gather responses from at least one member of each household.
The parent/guardian survey takes approximately 12 minutes and will include questions about your child’s experiences at school. If you have more than one child attending, please consider your oldest child's experiences when responding to the survey.
Thank you for your valuable time and insights!
Please complete the survey by: May 23, 2025
THANK YOU FROM PTO
