Safety in District 204

At Indian Prairie School District, the safety, security, and well-being of our students, staff, and school communities is our absolute highest priority. To ensure our schools remain safe, welcoming, and focused environments for learning, we are reaching out today to provide an important reminder regarding district safety expectations and student conduct.

No weapons or guns of any kind are allowed on school property. Additionally, toy guns, look-alike guns, BB guns, gel blasters, or water guns/blasters are not allowed on school property. This also includes pocket knives, key knives, 3D printed and look alike knives. Bringing any item that looks like a weapon to school is a significant violation of school rules. Any student who brings any of these items to school will face serious disciplinary consequences, which may include suspension or expulsion as well as legal action.

Please talk with your child and remind them of our strict policies related to these types of items on campus. Thank you for your continued support, vigilance, and commitment to keeping all of our Indian Prairie students, staff, and schools safe.

Huskies LEAD!

We are continuing last year's theme of Huskies LEAD by focusing on specific aspects of being a leader. Below is a list of what we're focusing on each quarter:

Quarter 1: L - Listen and Learn

Quarter 2: E - Empower Others

Quarter 3: A - Accept All

Quarter 4: D - Difference Makers

As we count down to the end of the quarter, we're highlighting special traits we can do to model listening and learning during announcements. Our assembly celebrating students will be on Friday, October 16. We'll wrap up the quarter by announcing special shout-outs for students who have been excellent examples of listening and learning throughout the quarter, then we'll kick off second quarter by explaining what it means to Empower Others.

Bike Riding

Please remind your students to walk their bikes while on school property. This helps ensure everyone's safety during arrival and dismissal.

Forgotten Items?

Please remember to drop off any forgotten items by 10:45am. We will always accept any medical necessities like glasses.
