Important 3rd Grade Announcement!

Hello 3rd Grade families!

Please mark your calendar for Friday, May 17. We have an annual event at the Elementary School called SHINE, and it’s a 2-hour dedication to Unified Arts classes. This note is about the music portion, and more information about the whole event will be coming after spring break.

3rd Graders will be performing on the stage at the following times:

Jones and Lewis                   5:15-5:30 p.m.

Seeger and Mongenas          5:45-6:00 p.m.

Slusher and Bammerlin        6:15-6:30 p.m.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it mandatory? 

No, but it is highly encouraged because it’s fun.

What does my child wear?

Dress up a little but be comfortable for the weather and movement. Performers perform best when they feel like they look good. 

When should we arrive? 

The event is “open house” style while the performances are at specific times. For the performance, just come 5 minutes early.

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: Belonging and Connection

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)
