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.
COVID-19 Screening Before Sending Child to School
The Indiana State Department of Health has established guidelines for parents sending their children back to school this year.
Every morning before you send your child to school please check the following:
- Your student does NOT have a fever greater than 100.4 degrees (may be lower based on your school’s policy) or lower if your child is not feeling well.
- Other signs of illness such as: congestion or runny nose, a fever of 100.4 or greater, a cough, shortness of breath, diarrhea, headache, vomiting or nausea, sore throat, muscle pain and fatigue, chills or new loss of taste or smell.
- Were you in close contact (within 6 feet for more than 15 minutes) with anyone confirmed with COVID-19 within the last two weeks?
If the answer is YES to any of the questions, DO NOT send your student to school. Instead, begin quarantine of your child and contact your healthcare provider. Strongly consider COVID-19 testing.
