Let Us Inroduce You To: Kaori Horton, Our School Psychologist
We have a new School Psychologist here at Ivy Hill. Mrs. Kaori Horton joined our staff this year after spending last year at Olive Elementary. Mrs. Horton is not a clinical psychologist so she doesn't see students for therapy but she is part of our Special Education and Problem Solving teams and works to help students that may have challenges in our educational process. She helps our teachers come up with strategies that help students reach their greatest potential.
Mrs. Horton is a native of Japan and moved to the US for college in Indiana. She is very happy to have landed here at Ivy Hill and hopes to be a great support not only to our students but to our community as well.
LMC Adopt a Book Program
Ivy Hill families have the opportunity to donate toward a book for our LMC in honor of their child. Your child will be able to choose a new book from the LMC to which we will add a special nameplate with his/her name. Your child will be the first to check out this new book for the usual one week then it will be added to our library collection for others to enjoy.
If you would like your child to participate in this program, please return the bottom portion of this form and a check for $15.00.
**Please make checks payable to Ivy Hill Elementary School.**
Your generous donation adds to the wonderful collection of books in the Ivy HIll LMC.
We’d love to hear from you!
