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.
