Indian Hill announces Early Release Day: Monday, April 8, 2024

Due to safety precautions in planning for the historic total solar eclipse in Ohio, the Indian Hill School District announces an early release day for both students and staff on Monday, April 8, 2024. The District made this decision out of an abundance of caution, as the end of the typical school day coincides with the projected eclipse schedule.

The adjusted school schedule will be as follows:

Indian Hill High School: Noon
Indian Hill Middle School: Noon
Indian Hill Elementary School: 1 p.m.
Indian Hill Primary School: 1 p.m.

All students will be served lunch before the early release.

Additionally, please note that all school activities, including after school practices or games, will be delayed and will not start until 5:00 p.m.

Please contact your building principal with any questions.

Dyslexia Legislation

As required by Ohio Law, Indian Hill Schools are currently screening students in Kindergarten through 3rd grade for characteristics of dyslexia utilizing screening tools approved by Ohio Department of Education and Workforce.

Screening assessments will be administered on the following dates:

Kindergarten - 2nd Grade: February 21-28
3rd Grade: February 21

Teams will be analyzing the data from these screening assessments and will be communicating results with parents if their child demonstrates the characteristics and tendencies of dyslexia. Parents can expect to hear from their child’s teacher by phone no later than March 22 if there are concerns about their child’s reading skills.

Additionally, Indian Hill School District prioritizes a strong literacy foundation for all students that includes both word recognition and language comprehension. Check out Indian Hill’s Literacy Plan by CLICKING HERE.

My School Bucks

My School Bucks is an online payment program where you can load money on to your child's lunch account and pay school fees. Our team is working feverishly to update all information for 23/24 fee collection.

We will let you know when that feature is ready to accept payments. In the meantime, you can still load money on to your child's lunch account. Never used My School Bucks before? Need a refresher? Click the link below.
