Mark your calendars for an evening of celebrating your child's artistic endeavors here at India Hook! More information to come.
Call to all creative parents and friends of India Hook Elementary:
If you or someone you know has any creative work (art, design, craft... the possibilities are endless!), we would love to have it displayed at our Evening of the Arts! This is a special part of our event as we show students that many forms of art and creativity are made right here in our community and all around us. If you or someone you know is interested or would like more information please contact Gina Thomas at GMThomas@rhmail.org.
Bake Sale
This year during Evening of the Arts, we will be hosting a bake sale in honor of Joy Hiott. ALL proceeds from this sale will go to benefit Joy. Please consider donating baked goods. We are looking for larger items such as whole cakes, packs of cupcakes, dozen cookies, etc. as well as individually wrapped items. If you have any questions, please contact Austin Colquhoun at acolquho@rhmail.org.

- Your child needs to be fever free for 24 hours, without the use of fever reducing medication, before returning to school. A fever is classified as 100.0 under the arm, or 101 orally.
- Your child needs to be free of vomiting for 24 hours before returning if he/she has thrown up at least 2 times in the previous 24 hours.
