STEM-ON-THE- GO-VAN

We loved having the UC STEM-ON-THE-GO-VAN here last week! Mr. Harris from the van worked with our Art students. They used the engineering design process and fabrication technology to create flashlights with pieces made from the laser cutter. It was a great day and wonderful experience for our Braves!

Career Connections

Career Connections are brought to the Middle School by the IH Experienceships team! They occur during lunch and are open to our current 8th grade students.

Annual Global Potluck Dinner

All are welcome to this family friendly evening! We would love to see you in the High School Cafeteria for this community wide event.

Tickets are $15/ family in advance or $20/family at the door.

Braves Future- Class of 2031 Part Two

IHHS is excited to once again offer Braves Future, an experience designed especially for our eighth-grade students as they begin looking ahead to their transition to Indian Hill High School. Part Two will take place on November 20, this is for current 8th graders only, please see the details below, thanks!

Part Two: Experience IHHS — Campus, Faculty & Academics

Friday, November 20 – Afternoon

Indian Hill High School

Students will get a chance to tour the IHHS campus and connect with our faculty and staff. This will be a great opportunity for our eighth graders to experience the high school firsthand while learning about the academic offerings and opportunities they will be able to take advantage of throughout their next four years.

As an added part of the experience, our eighth graders will enjoy their first high school lunch in the IHHS cafeteria! If your student is interested in purchasing lunch that day, please make sure their MySchoolBucks account is up to date prior to the visit.

Charging your Chromebook

Please remind your students to charge their Chromebook every night. If they have lost or damaged their charger a replacement can be purchased from our tech team for $20.

Additional damage fees are listed below. Everyone pays the annual fee while the others can be applied if the Chromebook is damaged. If this happens, Mr. Fries will be in contact to discuss the situation with you before the fee is applied.

Thanks!
