Testing Monitors Needed!
3rd-5th grade testing is going to be here before we know it. India Hook needs volunteers to be able to proctor in the classrooms during these tests. If you are able to volunteer for this very important job please sign-up and I will contact you with more information. You will need to go through a short training and then be able to commit to being here from about 8:00 to 12:00 those testing days. We really appreciate this commitment and your dedication to IHES. Testing will be on May 7th, 9th, 14th, and 16th. Please sign-up and let me know if you can do one day or multiple days.
IHES Evening of the Arts
Mark your calendars for an evening of celebrating your child's artistic endeavors here at India Hook! More information to come, so please be on the lookout.
CALL TO ALL CREATIVE PARENTS AND FRIENDS OF IHES:
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 are made and creativity used 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.

School Board Approves School Calendars
At the December 17, 2018, Board of Trustees business meeting, the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 school district calendars were approved. In the event SC State Law is changed to allow an adjustment to the school start date, district administration may request a change to this calendar. However, in being considerate of all involved, should it become an option to adjust the start date district officials will be mindful of the timing and the amount of flexibility allowed.
