WELCOME TO ICHS
Luke Skobel, High School Principal
On behalf of the faculty and staff of Indian Creek High School, I would like to extend a warm welcome to all of our students and their families. We are proud to be part of a small community filled with rich traditions.
Indian Creek prides itself on providing students a caring and supportive environment and serving our community by delivering well-prepared, responsible graduates. 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 a 18:1 student-to-teacher ratio, teachers are able to be more flexible in response to individual students and their circumstances.
I am confident that you will find that the opportunities available to our students while attending ICHS will prepare them well for their future, whatever that may hold. It’s a great day to be a Brave!
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.
