New Student Registration Packet
Minimize

You can now download your "NEW STUDENT" packet !  The forms are also quicker to complete on your computer than with a pen! 

 

The checklist on page 1 will help you identify what forms need to be returned.  The forms in the packet can be completed on your computer and printed (they cannot be saved).  Many forms are linked so that you only need to type names and dates once and it will populate most forms.  Please make sure all mandatory forms are completed and returned with your child on the first day of school.

If you have any gently-used, outgrown children’s clothes, please consider donating them to the Indian Rock health room.  The nurse’s supply of clothing for children who have accidents at school is dwindling.  Also, please remember to wash and return clothes your child has borrowed from the nurse.  Thanks!

Actual message shared regarding "Role Models"

 

Good morning, Indian Rock faculty, staff, and students.  This is Mr. Gulley with a few words of wisdom.  Gandhi was a national hero of India, a man who made a huge difference in the world by teaching that being violent is not the best way to solve our differences.  Gandhi was a role model for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who also taught nonviolence.  In other words, what Gandhi said and did affected the life of Dr. King in a positive way.

 

Did you know that you don't have to be a world-famous hero to affect someone else's life?  In fact, you don't have to be an adult.  No matter what your age, you can be a positive role model.  That's right!  Being a positive role model just means that you set a good example for others to follow.  Today, be a positive role model by helping a younger student or setting a good example for your classmates or choosing to do the right thing even when its' hard to do.

 

With something to think about, this is Mr. Gulley.  Make it a great day . . . or not.  The choice is yours.
