Car Rider Update

Hello Middle School Families,

These first weeks in our new school have been tremendous. We wanted to share some helpful information about car riders during arrival and dismissal.  

• Although we have not received a solid date on the Drake Road water main break and long-term fix, we know it will be at least two weeks, possibly more, until both lanes are restored.  
• The Rangers have advised everyone to give themselves extra time during arrival and dismissal.  
• Additionally, we are working diligently to get students in the appropriate cars and help everyone exit the lot as safely and efficiently as possible. We could use your assistance in the afternoon.  
• For those who arrive early, please pull all the way up the Middle School Gym Entrance until you reach the end of the sidewalk.  
• Additionally, pull up to the car in front of you without leaving large gaps in the line.  
• We have plenty of room to avoid backing up onto Drake Road if we use the entire car rider path.  
• Backing up onto the road stops cars from exiting and slows all transportation during dismissal.  
• Finally, if you need to sign a student out at anytime, please park in our lot and not in the car rider lane.

Thank you for your assistance as we implement new procedures.

Safety Announcement

Unless staying after for a school event or program, all students need to be picked up at 2:45 p.m. Construction crews are onsite starting at 3:30 p.m. Thank you!

New Building, New Practices

We are thrilled to welcome our students home to our brand new middle school! Please look over the notes below to know what to expect as we acclimate to our new space!

School Time: 8:00 a.m. - 2:45 p.m.

School hours will be 8:00 a.m. - 2:45 p.m. This is a slight change from our current 6th grade schedule, so please make note of those times. Check the Stop Finder App or reach out to Transportation at 513-272-4530 for any bus pick up time changes.

Arrival/Dismissal at IHMS

Bus riders will enter/exit IHMS through the Sue Harder Memorial Performing Arts Center - this is the closest set of doors near the bus circle. Car riders will use the middle school parking lot and traffic flow (there will be no cut-through from the high school lot) and will enter/exit IHMS through the main office entry doors. For safety and supervision reasons, car riders will not be able to enter the building before 7:35 a.m. and students must be picked up by 3:00 p.m. or under the supervision of a staff member, coach, club advisor, etc. after 3 p.m.

We encourage our students to ride the bus to cut down on traffic along Drake Road and prevent school tardiness, but for those who are car riders: Please note our middle school way-finding signage is not in place yet. Car riders will be dropped off at the new main entrance of the middle school. There are arrows in the lot, but this is an all new traffic flow for grades 6-8.

Early Dismissal

Please come into the office to pick up a student for early dismissal, they will not be released to the parking lot.

New Drop Off/Lost & Found

We have a new cart in our foyer area to house items being dropped off to students and Lost and Found. Please continue to bring Chromebook and musical instruments into the office. Thanks!

Attendance Reminders



Parents are required to report all absences and tardies via the attendance line at 513-272-4700 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. NEW: You will need to come into the office to pick up your student for early dismissal.

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

Thank you!
