• Hello Indian Springs Families!

    We have so many things to look forward to this year.

    • Kindergarten Playdate - August 14, 2025

    • Ice Cream Social - August 21, 2025, from 5:30 - 7:00pm

      • Come meet the teachers and enjoy ice cream provided by our fabulous PTA

      • The building will not be open at this event, but we will have an open house on September 25th.

    • First Day of School (grades 1-5) - August 25, 2025

    • Kindergarten Appointments - August 25, August 26 and August 27 (sign up will be emailed after the Kindergarten Playdate)

    • First Day for all Kindergarteners - August 28, 2025

    • No School - September 1, 2025 - Labor Day

     

    In addition we will be introducing some new things and continuing some old things. 

    • Safety and security measures including pick-up passes for afternoon dismissal and continued use of our scan in system in the front lobby will continue.  Please make sure to have your ID to enter the building or your pick-up pass to pick up a child.

    • New Playground and Blacktop resurfacing

    • A continued focus on positive attendance school-wide through our PBIS program

    • Continued work with our Student VOICES group (4th and 5th graders)

    • New focus on afternoon dismissal - we need to make sure that all students are picked up by 3:30 as we will not have staff to watch children.  If this is an issue (picking up multiple children from multiple school sites), please reach out to the school to discuss options.

    • New staff:

      • Lauren Harris - 3rd Grade

      • Matthew Eyer - Secretary

      • Gillian Jennings - Counselor

      • Jaclyn Gray - Nurse

    • Veteran staff changing roles:

      • Wendi Leon - 2nd Grade

      • Heather Uncapher - 5th Grade

      • Chloe Weiss - 5th Grade

      • Lisa Ponziani - 5th Grade

      • Heather Leonard - 1st Grade

      • Sara Orlos - Librarian

     

    How do you keep up with all of the outstanding things happening at Indian Springs Elementary School?
