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

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.

Attendance Reminders

Parents are required to report all absences and tardies via the attendance line at 513-272-4705 before school starts each day. If your student needs to leave school early for ANY reason, send in a note to the office before school starts so he/she can get a pass that will permit the teacher to let him/her leave early. 

Reminder: always bring a note from the doctor, dentist, etc. when returning from appointments, this will excuse the absence. Thank you!
