Exercise for Education Update
We would like to thank everyone who contributed to our annual Exercise for Education fundraiser. This is our sole fundraising event for the 24-25 school year, acting as a great non-traditional fundraiser that will benefit and support ICES programs, student activities and staff needs! Proceeds make the dances, ice cream socials, student appreciation days, field days, and all of our other activities possible.
As of Thursday, October 3, we raised nearly $7,000. We will update everyone with our grand total once we have that calculated.

How Sick is too Sick?
As we navigate a season marked by various illnesses, it is crucial that we work together to maintain a healthy and safe learning environment for our students. With several illnesses circulating within our school community, your cooperation in keeping sick children at home becomes even more significant.
Here is an information sheet designed to serve as a general guide for parents, outlining when it's advisable to keep your child at home. By following these recommendations, we can work together to minimize the spread of germs.
Background Checks
In an effort to keep our schools safe, all volunteers must have a background check completed and on file with the school. To volunteer in the classroom, chaperone field trips or attend classroom parties, you must have a background check completed.
Important: A new background check must be done every school year.
THIS BACKGROUND CHECK IS NOW FOR BOTH ICES AND ICIS. YOU WILL NOT NEED TO COMPLETE A FORM FOR BOTH BUILDINGS!

Food Pantry - Volunteers Needed
The Braves Food Pantry is up and running and in need of volunteers! By partnering with Gleaners Food Bank, we are able to distribute food three times per month, twice at the Indian Creek Learning Center and once at the ICHS parking lot. Volunteering with the Braves Pantry is a great way to give back to our local community. Please register to volunteer in September using the link below. Thank you!

No Pets
Please be aware that dogs are not allowed on school grounds, playgrounds, or sports fields at any time throughout the calendar year except for service animals, per school policy, Indiana and Federal law.
This policy is for our students and staff members' health and safety.
After school hours and athletic events and practices, when students are absent, dog owners may walk their pets on a leash along the school property borders, such as the walking trail and on sidewalks/school roads. Please clean up and properly dispose of pet waste.
