WELCOME TO ICIS
Ellen Rollings, Intermediate School Principal
Welcome to Indian Creek Intermediate School! We are very proud to belong to The Creek! Our small community is like a family, where everyone supports each other and looks after one another.
Our staff is dedicated to providing an exceptional education to each and 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!
We have so many extracurricular activities that each student can find something they are interested in. We have intramurals, video club, choir, art enrichment, mile club, and academic teams (science, math, and spell bowl). Our new IC Innovation Studio, which is a dedicated STEM classroom, includes 3D printers, color coding and block coding bots, as well as STEAM circuit sets, codable circuit boards and robot arms! With this variety, every student can find a place that is perfect for them!
Indian Creek Intermediate School is a place where students can “Be Bold, Be Brave, Be YOU”.
CAR RIDER INFORMATION
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 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.
- ICMS and ICHS student car riders MUST be dropped off and picked up in the BACK parking lots. Students should not be dropped off in the front lots. 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 parents will form a line along the back side of the middle school sidewalk. Students will be dismissed and enter vehicles from the sidewalk.
- For afternoon pick-up, ICHS parents will park behind the fieldhouse.
- ICHS parents, please FIND A PARKING SPOT; do not form a line. Students will find you!
- 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.

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.
Our Mission
The Indian Creek Intermediate School creates an educational environment in which each student is challenged and encouraged to achieve his or her potential.
Indian Creek Intermediate School serves students in grades 3, 4 and 5. Having only three grade levels allows opportunities to tailor our academic curriculum and our special activities and programs to meet the unique needs of our students.
The ICIS staff is very caring and dedicated to giving each student the best education possible. ICIS staff is highly involved in the staff development process and the creation of a standards-based curriculum to make learning and instruction relevant to the students. The Parent Teacher Organization is very active and supportive of the school's academic programming. Many adult volunteers enhance the social and academic learning process. All parents are encouraged to be an integral part of their child’s life at Indian Creek Intermediate School.
Lessons are designed to teach the curriculum while instilling sound morals and a positive work ethic teaching kids personal responsibility. Cooperation in and out of the classroom setting is expected and teachers present many opportunities for students to work in cooperative groups. Each student in the building has a Chromebook that they use throughout the day to meet the academic activities presented to them. The average class size is less than 24 students. For 55 minutes each day, students participate in Art, Music, or Physical Education. Our media specialist instructs students in library skills and oversees the school-wide reading incentive program that gets students excited about reading. Students have access to multiple electronic learning programs.
ICIS consistently places near the top of Johnson County in the standardized assessments given to students across the state. The students’ language arts and mathematics ISTEP scores are consistently the highest while comparing Morgan County schools as well. The third-grade students have passed the IREAD3 Assessment at 90% or higher on the first assessment for each year the assessment has been in existence. The success of the assessments is great, but preparing the students for future success beyond the Intermediate School is our school objective.
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.
