WELCOME TO ICES
Keith Grant, Elementary School Principal
My name is Keith M. Grant. This is my 28th year as principal and it is a pleasure to welcome you to Indian Creek Elementary. Our dedicated staff works very hard to meet the individual needs of all students and maintain personal connections with their families.
We all want the best for your children, but we are not enough. You, the parents, must play a key role in the education of your children. Your words of encouragement, your interest in your children’s work, and your presence at school are vital. All children are more successful when we work as a team to achieve educational goals.
I look forward to meeting all the new students and welcoming back the current students and all families. If you have any questions or concerns about our school, please do not hesitate to call me or contact your child’s teacher.

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.
