LET'S GET READY
For Another Great Year
A new school year is underway at Indian Creek Schools, and we are excited to welcome our Braves back to campus! From our youngest learners at Indian Creek Elementary to our graduating seniors at Indian Creek High School, the 2026–2027 year brings new opportunities to learn, connect, create and grow.
With four schools on a single campus, Indian Creek is a community where students can find their place and pursue their interests across academics, arts and athletics. Here’s to another great year of learning, friendships and accomplishments. Let’s make it a great year at The Creek!
INDIAN CREEK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Calling our newest BRAVES! Kindergarten 101 is here!
Our ICES kindergarten teachers have created Kindergarten 101 to help incoming kindergarten students and their families prepare for the first day of school. We encourage parents and students to watch the presentation together to learn what to expect, meet some of our teachers and start getting excited for this new adventure!
Indian Creek Intermediate School
Our staff is dedicated to providing an exceptional education to every student. They work hard and truly go above and beyond. The students thrive, knowing that their school is a place where they are safe and cared for. We are very proud of our IREAD scores - with over 90 percent of our students earning a passing score!
Indian Creek Middle School
We are incredibly proud of the opportunities we offer outside of the classroom for students to grow as well. Students have a wide range of extracurricular activities that include Robotics Club, FFA, State Champion Academic Teams and the middle school musical.
Indian Creek High School
With just over 140 students in each grade (9-12), Indian Creek has that small-town feel that so many in the community love. As a school with the “rural advantage,” we can offer smaller class sizes where students can get the personal attention they deserve; more opportunities for students to participate in more kinds of activities (e.g., athletics, drama, musicals and other extracurricular activities); and with an 18:1 student-to-teacher ratio, teachers can be more flexible in response to individual students and their circumstances.
SUPPLY LISTS
Car Rider Traffic Flow
Families who use the car rider lines for drop-off and pick-up, please review the morning and afternoon traffic flow maps and information. We ask for your patience as we begin a new school year, as the safety of our students is of the utmost importance!
- The ICES and ICIS traffic flow patterns will remain the same as last year. There will be no changes to drop-off or pick-up at ICES and ICIS. Please review the maps.
- ICMS and ICHS student car riders MUST be dropped off and picked up in the BACK parking lot. Students should not be dropped off in the front lot. The only exception is students riding to school with a high school driver with a parking permit.
- All ICMS/ICHS car riders will be dropped off at the ICHS fieldhouse for morning drop-off. Students will walk through the pool lobby and then head to class.
- NEW! For afternoon pick-up, ICMS/ICHS parents will form lines in the parking spots behind the fieldhouse. All ICMS and ICHS students will be dismissed from the fieldhouse and enter vehicles from the sidewalk.
- The entrance behind ICMS will serve as an ENTRANCE ONLY during drop off and pick up. All cars must exit to the west of the buildings and head north or south from there.
- Please review the maps!
- As a reminder, school buildings open at 7:45 a.m. Please do not drop off your child before 7:45 a.m.
Please direct questions to your specific building office staff.
