Fall Parent Teacher Conferences

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Please use the link below to set an appointment with your child's teacher by clicking on their name under their photo. The link goes directly to their individual Google calendar. Conferences are held in person unless you request an alternate format. 

Our first trimester ends on November 7 and conferences will wrap up by

October 31. The parent teacher conference is a great way to connect with your

child's teacher about their academic performance, social development, and

overall performance during the first Trimester. You can also use this site to set

up a conference with a Unified Arts teacher. Please keep in mind that they see

over 500 children and have approximately 25 spaces for meetings.

If your child works with an intervention teacher, they will reach out separately

regarding their conference times during this same window.

Thank you for working so closely with us to ensure a successful year for your

child.

Sincerely,

Mr. Cash Hayden

IHPS Principal

IHPS School Clubs / Activities

Parents,

We have lots of opportunities at Indian Hill Primary School for students to participate in School Clubs and Activities. A lot of our clubs/activities are listed here with links.

Please contact the advisor for further details of each club/activity.  

We will not be signing up students for after school activities at the Primary School.  Some of the clubs/activities are grade specific.

Pick Up Patrol and Clubs- Please look at the sign up dates and times and ONLY put your students in for those dates. If your student will miss a date / club activity event, please make sure that you correspond with that club/activity and let them know that they will not be attending that session. Please note this in Pick Up Patrol as well. 

KDG Parents -  You are responsible for making sure that their child comes back to school for the club/activity and then picking up your student up at 4:15-4:30 p.m. when the club ends. If your child is in KGS after 3:30 p.m. - you will coordinate with their team. There is no busing at 4:30 p.m. for Clubs / Activities for Home routes.
