Bulletin Board

The Indian Hill School District invites all local veterans and their families to join us on Wednesday, November 11, as we honor and celebrate your service. Our students and staff are eager to shower our community’s heroes with gratitude, applause, and Indian Hill pride during our annual Veterans Day Car Parade.

Participating cars may begin lining up on South Clippinger Drive (facing Drake Road) at 9:00 a.m. on the morning of November 11, with the procession moving at approximately 9:15 a.m. Please note that Drake Road will be closed from South Clippinger to the High School entrance between 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. while the parade takes place.

To make this event truly meaningful, we ask that you arrange for someone else to drive so that our veterans can sit as passengers and fully engage with the cheering students. (For everyone’s safety, please remember that drivers must refrain from using phones, cameras, or recording devices while operating vehicles during the parade.)

Do you have a change in your student's Default Plan for a specific day? Kindergarten changes must be in no later than 12:30 p.m. and Grades 1-2 changes must be in no later than 2:30 p.m. Thank you for helping!

Volunteers and Visitors at the Primary School

Beginning this school year, parents and guardians are welcome to bring younger siblings when attending school events held during school hours (i.e., parent meetings, classroom parties, Primary Praise, and 2nd Grade Send-Off) at Indian Hill Primary School.

To help maintain a safe and productive learning environment, this change does not apply to volunteer opportunities (i.e., classroom, lunchroom, library, field trips, Field Day) where only approved volunteers may attend. We kindly ask that younger siblings remain under the direct supervision of their parents or guardians at all times.

Reminder to ALL building visitors and volunteers: Please bring your ID with you! You will be signed into the Raptor System and a printed visitor badge will be given for you to wear in a visible location during your visit.

Lunchroom Volunteers

Volunteer Reminders: CLICK HERE to pick your slot.

• Punctuality: Please arrive on time and stay for your entire scheduled slot to ensure full coverage.

• Check-Out: Remember to check out in the front office before exiting the building.

• Siblings: To ensure safety and full focus on our students, siblings may not accompany volunteers.

• Cancellations: If your schedule changes, please remove your name from the sign-up as soon as possible so another parent can fill the spot.

Thank you for giving your time to make lunch a positive experience for our students. We truly appreciate your support!
