Holiday Bazaar
The Indian Creek Education Foundation is gearing up for the Holiday Bazaar on November 9th from 9am-2pm. We have 125+ confirmed vendors. Don't miss performances from the school choirs and dance teams throughout the day. This is the perfect place to kick off your holiday shopping. Make sure to stop by the Junior NHS booth for gift wrapping services (donations appreciated)!
Hearing Screenings
Hearing screenings for all students in first grade and any student who is new to the district and in second grade will take place on Friday, Nov. 8th. Students who pass the hearing screening will NOT receive any paperwork stating so. Only students who fail the hearing screening will receive a paper notice. Those students who DO fail the hearing screening will be rescreened before winter break. Parents will be notified via email & parent square after this re-screen if the student fails that screening as well. Thank you!

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!

Lost and Found
Our lost and found is currently full of jackets, lunch boxes, gloves, hats and various other items waiting to be reunited with their owners. If your child has mentioned something missing, encourage them to check the lost and found area. We want to ensure that every item finds its way back to its rightful owner.

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.
