BRAVE Character Education Survey

Dear Indian Hill School Families,      

We thank you and your family for being our valued partners as we work together to educate the children in our District. As you may already be aware, we are implementing our BRAVE Character Education, initiated during the 2021-2022 school year. This initiative was part of our previous strategic plan process with an emphasis on building social and emotional skills and is connected to our current #IHPromise Strategic Plan within our focus area of Learners as the Whole Child. It is time to gain feedback from our students about this program so that we can make revisions for the remainder of this school year.

We will be asking for your child to reflect on their own mindsets and approaches to learning within our BRAVE Character Education program via an online survey they will be completing within the school day. The survey should take no more than 20-30 minutes to complete.

The survey content will ask students to self-reflect on Positive Feelings, Challenging Feelings, Self-Management, Social Awareness, and Supportive Relationships. 

We are asking that all of our students participate in the surveys, as their responses will provide invaluable insights into their experiences and how we can improve and adapt our District to their needs. If a student doesn’t feel like they have enough information to answer a question, they will be able to skip the item altogether. The responses to these surveys will be completely confidential. We are partnering with a third-party vendor to support us in administering these surveys.

If you would like more information about the surveys, you can find a sample here: 

Grades 3-5 BRAVE Character Education Survey

Grades 6-12 BRAVE Character Education Survey

After reviewing this information, you may choose to remove your child from this survey opportunity by completing this form. The deadline for this form completion is Friday, March 8 at 12:00 pm. 

If you have any questions about the survey, please don’t hesitate to contact your child’s school. 

Dedicated to the success of our Braves, 

Dr. Melissa Stewart, Ed.D.

Chief Academic Officer

Here at IHES the staff and students participate in Wellness Wednesdays.

We do this by setting aside Wednesdays as an intentional day (or a moment in the day) each week to remember to take a breath, find moments of mindfulness, slow down, reset, and recharge. Each month's Wellness Wednesday has a different theme. This month's theme is: Compromise & Play

Ask your student about what this means to them!

Would you like to celebrate your child's birthday in a lasting way at our school? Our library has a Birthday Book Club, which provides families a unique opportunity to honor your child's special day.

     Families are asked to donate $15.00 to our Birthday Book Club to help underwrite the cost of a new book. The birthday child may then select a new book which has already been ordered for our library collection. There are always many wonderful titles from which to choose. Summer birthdays are celebrated either at half birthdays or in the spring. 

The library will put a

birthday bookplate in the front of the selected book to identify this title as a lasting gift for our school's collection. What a wonderful way to emphasize the importance of reading with our Students!

Interested in joining our club?

Email Mrs. Sara Jones, IHES Librarian.

 Pick Up Patrol (PuP) is used here at IHES to manage student dismissal and for parents/guardians to communicate transportation plans to teachers and school staff. If you are not using PuP, we ask that you begin ASAP. Knowing your child's daily transportation plans ensures that we get your child home in a safe and timely manner.

If you are already using PuP, thank you! Here are a couple of tips on using the program:

• Make sure your child's default (aka daily) plans are up to date
• Any daily changes must be entered by 2:30 p.m. (if a change comes up after this time please call the office 513-272-4703)
• Teachers will follow whatever has been entered in PuP unless you have contacted the office with a change

IMPORTANT INFORMATION 

If you choose to drive your child to school, our drop off/pick up circle is in the front of our Arts and Athletics Wing this year.

Please Do Not Drop Students off in front of the building unless it's after 8:55 a.m.

• Enter the Elementary School (ES) driveway across from South Clippinger and take your first right. 
• Follow the traffic pattern behind the gym and then loop back to the front of the wing. There will be school personnel there to greet you and your child. 
• Please do not get out of the car and make sure to have students get out on the passenger side of the car. Staff will assist students.
•  Follow the traffic pattern to exit the ES using the same driveway directly across from South Clippinger. (See map to the side or click link)
