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.
