Indian Hills Elementary
The District has announced that Fridays in the 2nd Quarter will be Virtual Learning Fridays. At Indian Hills, we are currently working on a detailed plan to share with families. To help us plan for those Fridays, it would help us if we had an idea of how many children would be on campus. If your child(ren) attends school face-to-face at Indian Hills, please answer the following questions to help us better meet the needs of our students.
Students will have the opportunity to review previously assigned activities, make up assignments, or to work in digital platforms such as Edgenuity and Waterford that will address missing Standards due to last year’s extended school closure.
Please follow the survey link to provide important information regarding virtual Fridays.

October is Dyslexia Awareness Month. The North Little Rock School District is recognizing this month with a series of initiatives to make our students and families aware of dyslexia and the services that we provide.

We have been approved to have Virtual Learning Fridays! This will begin on 10/23.
In summary, attending school on Fridays is optional. Students enrolled in face-to-face instruction will have the option of completing assignments either in person or at home. Virtual students will complete assignments as normal. These assignments will be completed asynchronously, which means there will be no live instruction. No new material will be introduced. Attendance will still be taken.

K-2 Virtual Parents, please click the link to virtually sign the NWEA security agreement. You must be signed in to your child’s google account for the link to work. This is only for K-2 parents because it is their state assessment. 3rd-5th grade virtual students will be taking the NWEA assessment next week however it is not their state assessment. ACT Aspire (which is taken in April) is the state assessment for 3rd -5th grade students. If you have any questions or concerns, please email Emily Stadther at stadthere@nlrsd.org.

Alternative Method of Instruction (AMI) for day 1 will be sent home with your child today, August 27, 2020. If your child is attending IHE Virtual Academy in grades 1-5, the packet was posted in Google Classroom. This packet will be utilized by students if school is canceled tomorrow, August 28, 2020. Additional AMI assignments will be available and posted as needed. The purpose of AMI is to fulfill the requirements to make-up missed days due to unforeseen inclement weather or safety concerns. Please continue to check our district website, school website, school Facebook page and Class Dojo for additional information.
Completed AMI assignments will be due and turned in the day after we return to school. For students to receive attendance credit for days missed, all work must be returned. Failure to return work will result in your child being marked absent for the missed day(s). If technology causes an issue with completing AMI assignments, IHE staff will do everything possible to assist students after we return to school.
Thank you for your patience as we work through the kinks of the kindergarten virtual academy. We will not count kindergarten virtual students absent today. We are sending packets home with our face to face students as a backup plan for possible school cancellation tomorrow. The link to that packet for virtual academy students is https://5il.co/ka54. This packet will only be used if the school is not in session Friday, 08/28/20. Please contact your child's teacher for additional information.
Hurricane Laura is expected to bring inclement weather to Arkansas. As a result, the North Little Rock School District will end classes early on Thursday.

High: 2:30 p.m.
All after school events scheduled for tomorrow have been postponed. Central Office will close at 3:00 p.m.
