Students and Parents

Welcome to the Indian Hill Elementary School Web Site. You will find here important information regarding all aspects of school life. We have posted on this page links to the resources you will most frequently need, with a brief description of each.

The District maintains a 24-hour school safety hotline (513) 272-4701 that can be used for reporting information anonymously. Anyone who has information that may compromise the safety of our students or any member of our school community can use this hotline to report their concerns. This number is available at the top of each of the district's main web pages.

Progress Check (Progress Book): NEW THIS YEAR. Due to state reporting requirements, we have moved to a new system called ProgressBook. The Parent Access Portal will allow you to view grades, grade detail about assignments, and attendance. Letters with account access information (login IDs and passwords) are sent home at the beginning of the year. Parents have a separate account from students and may setup email alerts. However, with this system you must login online to actually view grades (for security purposes). Detailed instructions for parents about logging in, changing your password, linking multiple students to the parent account and viewing grades and attendance may be found here. Instructions for students about access may be found here.

Assignments: Teachers make their homework assignments available weekly via the Team courses in Blackboard. Please understand that teacher plans may change throughout the week. A child's completed planbook is always the best source for accurate homework information.

Blackboard (Assignments): In order to aid communication between home and school, homework and test information, course information, and teacher contact information are contained on Blackboard. Teachers post information regularly. However, please note that last minute changes may only be communicated via the classroom. NOTE: Be sure to change your password from its default assignment for security purposes. Follow this link for directions on how to change your password and email address in Blackboard.

BlackBoard @ Home (File Viewers): For access to files from home, you may need to install viewers if you do not have programs like Microsoft office installed. The resource is here for a links page for various viewers.

Calendar: All elementary school and district activities are listed on this calendar. It is viewable as well as printable. You may also access other Indian Hill school calendars (including athletics) from this link or subscribe to calendars for updates. You are also able to subscribe to groups for email updates, or to upload events to your own personal calendar. Click here for more instructions.

Class Pages: Most of the teachers maintain active web pages where information and resources about classes can be found.

Curriculum: The Fine Arts, Health, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Technology, and Visual Art curricula are currently viewable on line.

Directory: The school directory lists the email addresses and school telephone numbers of all teachers and administrators in the district.

Elementary School Activities: The elementary school offers before and after school cocurricular activities for students.

Medical Information: Medical forms may be found here. Children who need to take medication at school MUST have a medical authorization form on file at the school each year. Print Medical Authorization form, fill it out and sign it, and get a Physician's signature before bringing in the medication to school. This form should not be faxed; the originally signed form must be on file. Other available forms include: Students with Asthma Inhaler Plan/Form and Epi-Pen Self-Carry Plan/Form.

Indian Hill Foundation/Alumni The Indian Hill Public Schools Foundation establishes a vehicle for personal and corporate contributions that builds an endowment and focus on the future.

Sophos AntiVirus Information: If you believe you may have been sent a virus or a possible virus hoax please investigate these sites for more information.

Student Handbook: This is an online version of the handbook that comes home with your student at the beginning of the year. Information contained in the handbook is meant to serve as a resource for students and parents alike. Students are responsible for reading the handbook to familiarize themselves with policies and procedures. Parents are encouraged to discuss the information with their students. This home-school partnership will result in creating a school environment that promotes individual student growth and responsibility. March 9, 2009 Bullying Policy Revision details.

Transportation: In the upcoming school year, to request alternate transportation, the forms for this will be located exclusively on our transportation website for your access (these forms are no longer sent home in the August mailing). Simply fill out the appropriate forms and return them following the instructions. If you are unable to access the forms, contact either the school's office (272-4703), or Transportation (272-4531).

Wellness Department: The Wellness Department at Indian Hill updates this site to provide news on wellness issues in the district as well as healthy tips and other links.
