Wrapping Up the Summer
The IHES office is receiving some significant updates. We are excited about this redo and think you will be too!

You will not be able to access the school building until sometime mid August (don't forget your ID when you do come to the building!). The office staff will be working in an alternate spot in the building during the construction. There may be some days where it will be necessary to work remotely. If you have a question that needs an answer quickly during our scheduled work days, and you are unable to reach us by phone, we will be checking voicemail and emails regularly.

We hope the last weeks of summer are sweet and full of adventure!

Transportation Change Reminders!
 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. 
  • 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)
