WELCOME TO ICES
Eric Long, Elementary School Principal
As principal of ICES, it is my pleasure to welcome you to Indian Creek Elementary School! What your children learn in pre-K through second grade will become the building blocks essential for the rest of their education. Our dedicated team is committed to providing an outstanding and meaningful educational experience and to meeting the individual needs of each student at ICES.
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.
Morning Drop-Off Process
Please note a couple of essential clarifications regarding car rider drop-off.
- Families with students at the ICES/ICIS and ICMS/ICHS buildings should follow this drop-off sequence for a smoother and safer process. Please drop off students in ICMS/ICHS buildings FIRST, then circle around to drop off students at ICES/ICIS next. Check out the video showing the process!
- The ICIS teacher parking lot (north side of the building) is CLOSED to through traffic during drop-off and pick-up. Please do not drop off students at ICES/ICIS and cut through the ICIS parking lot.
- Students at ICMS/ICHS drop-off should exit the car as soon as they can access the sidewalk. Students should not wait until they pull up to the Fieldhouse to exit. Anywhere from the Performing Arts Center to the Fieldhouse is appropriate. The more quickly students exit onto a sidewalk, the faster the line moves, and we can avoid a backup onto St. Rd. 300.
- ICMS/ICHS drop-off time is moved to 7:40 a.m. to help alleviate traffic congestion.

CURRICULUM MAPS
Indian Creek is dedicated to academic excellence and utilizes curriculum mapping to organize and align instruction used to determine what is taught and when based upon national and state-mandated standards. Our teachers work hard to create and collaborate on a thorough road map with their peers to achieve student success in the classroom. Teachers will update each map to reflect accurate classroom pacing and any updated standards from the Indiana Department of Education.
OUR VISION
The vision of the Nineveh-Hensley-Jackson United School Corporation is that of a dynamic organization that will work in partnership with the family and community to maintain and provide adequate resources for a safe, disciplined, and productive environment where all students and highly competent and committed adults are meaningfully engaging in learning. Our curriculum design and instructional practices will provide the knowledge, attitudes, skills, and habits for all students to become responsible citizens in American society, life-long learners, and successful participants in a global and technological society.
CREEK CREED
Today I will do my best to be my best.
I will come to school to learn and grow.
I will treat others the way I want to be treated.
I will be honest and fair and set a good example.
I will believe in myself, for I am responsible for my own success!
Our Mission
The Indian Creek Elementary staff, with family and community support, teaches and challenges each child to build basic and technological skills. We endeavor to promote a positive self-concept needed to become an active, self-motivated, lifelong learner. We strive to prepare each child to become the best possible citizen for the diverse and unique communities of tomorrow.
Indian Creek Elementary School serves the needs of young children from pre-kindergarten through grade 2. ICES is unique because it is geared to meet the needs of the early childhood learner. The staff, administrators, and curriculum focus on creating opportunities for young people to grow academically, emotionally, and physically in a nurturing environment.
Notable features of ICES include a 1-to-1 model of technology using iPads. The iPads are used with Google Classroom for student engagement. The students also use them for e-Learning days. Every classroom also has multimedia presentation equipment.
ICES has Title I, special education, music, art, physical education, library, and STEAM teachers. Our school has a counselor, a speech therapist, a psychologist, and a nurse who provide support services to students. Our assessment tools are Star Reading and Star Early Literacy. These assessments provide the teacher, principal, and Title I teacher with information to assist in individualizing instruction.
Indian Creek students benefit from the staff’s ability to focus on a primary age curriculum. The staff is able to channel their efforts into the early grades and each student’s specific needs. ICES provides a warm, secure, and stimulating environment.
