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. Also, this background check is only for ICES. Meaning, if you have a child in another building, you will need to complete one for that building too. Please turn in completed forms either to your child's teacher or to the front office.

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.
