As we near our Hybrid start date, it is important to begin preparing our students for the transition. Please have a conversation with your child about your family's decision to either remain in CDL or transition to Hybrid. All our students will remain with the same teacher - some will be attending in person and some online through Google Meets.
Check out the Hybrid Blackout Bingo Board for ideas on how to help students prepare for Hybid!

Yearbook Update - Pics due soon!
We want all our students represented in the yearbook! Please upload a picture of your child(ren) by February 28th! Questions, or need help? No problem! Just reach out to the PTO at bearspto@gmailcom.
As you know, due to the pandemic Lifetouch has not been able to take in-person student pictures for the school this year. This limits our ability to produce a traditional yearbook that includes student, class, and activity photos. But the Indian Hills PTO is working around this! In lieu of using traditional photos, we are asking parents and guardians to submit photos of their students taken during the 2020-2021 school year. In order for your child to be represented in this year's yearbook you must upload a photo of EACH of your students. Please click on the following link to submit your photos, no later than March 12th: https://forms.gle/vQ7bPk9iS115hnSk8
