This year our annual Exercise for Education (E4E) theme is space— "Exercising is OUT OF THIS WORLD!" 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 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.

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!

If you will be picking up your child from school on a regular basis, please fill out the form below for a car tag.

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.
