I am so excited to welcome you to the 2026-2027 school year! With a focus on both academic and social-emotional growth, our staff embraces its commitment to helping all students grow and be successful. Creating relationships with students and their families is key in this effort!

I look forward to seeing you at our Open House on 8/3 from 4:30-6:00pm. Here are some details about this event:

• This is an informal time to tour the building, locate your child's classrooms, check out the cafe/gym, and more. There is no formal program. We welcome you to become familiar with the school by getting a map at the door you enter which has some items to check-out while you are at FCI that evening.
• Classroom teachers will be in their classrooms to welcome you! Please remember that this is only a time to greet each other and not a time to have a conference. Your teacher will be happy to set up a time to chat later if you need to share specific information about your child.
• Students may bring in any supplies they may have to avoid doing so on the first day if they choose. Please put all supplies in a bag with your child's name and leave in a designated location in the SOAR teacher's room. Please note that if you don't have supplies the first week that is fine and expected. :)
  

Our first student day is Wednesday, August 5.

• Car riders will go directly to their classrooms. Staff will be available throughout the school should students need assistance.
• Bus riders will be called off the bus by grade level and assisted in finding their classrooms.

Enjoy your last few days of summer!
Mrs. Day
Principal

As many of you are aware, Indiana recently passed legislation which limits student access to personal electronic devices throughout the instructional day. With this new policy, the goal is to help students prioritize academic learning, build strong peer relationships, and manage academic time.

Personal electronic devices can include, but are not limited to, cell phones, smartwatches, earbuds, headphones, gaming devices, and digital cameras. For further clarification and answers to many of your questions, please see the FAQ document linked here, previously shared by the district, as well as the visual diagram, which is attached to this communication.

The law states "devices may be brought to school, but must be stored away, powered off, and inaccessible to a student throughout the school day." At Fall Creek Intermediate our students will store their personal electronic devices (turned off), inside their backpacks (due to us not using lockers while under renovation) during the instructional learning day. The school day is defined as the first bell (9:15 am) through the last bell ( 4:00 pm).

If students need to communicate with families, they can ask their teacher about communicating home and may call from their classroom with permission or sent they may be sent to the office where they can use a phone. Messages from family members can also be delivered to students in class by families calling the office.

If a student chooses to violate the state law, consequences, as outlined in the student handbook, could include confiscation, detention, and/or suspension.

We appreciate your continued partnership as we work together, adhering to the new state law SEA 78.

A Parent Square Notification will be sent out when schedules are available to view on Skyward. You can then log into Skyward to see your child's schedule

A teacher will be listed for SOAR, STEM & Humanities classes, and Related Arts such as PE, Music, and Art. Your child will want to note his or her main teachers and find their team number listed in the chart below. This Team Number will help them find their group on the first day of school.

We have been busy hiring some amazing new teachers this summer. On your child's schedule you may see TEACHER NEW at this time. Rest assured that your child will have a teacher for both of his or her sections, it just may take some time to get the teacher through the administration process.

At Fall Creek Intermediate our teachers and students are grouped together in a team. Typically, one teacher will teach the STEM classes, Math and Science, and another will teach the Humanities classes, English, Reading, and Social Studies. One of these teachers will also be marked as a SOAR teacher on your child's schedule. This will be the teacher that they are with when they transition to Related Arts classes.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Ensure your child knows who their SOAR teacher is as that is where students will first go into classrooms with teacher assistance. 😀

Each team will rotate through our Related Arts classes weekly. Below is a quick look at the teams and their rotations to help you and your student remember which Related Arts class they will attend.

August 5 - rotation F

August 6 - rotation C

August 7 - rotation I

August 12-14 - rotation F

August 17-21 - rotation C

August 24-28 - rotation I

Remember for PE, students need to have gym appropriate clothing and shoes - No sandals or croc-style shoes allowed.

Rotations will always be marked in the "What's Happening @ the Creek" section of this newsletter.

We want to make sure our students and families feel comfortable as the new school year is about to begin. To assist with making everyone feel comfortable with the physical aspect of school, FCI will be open for students and families to tour the building and meet the teachers!

• Mrs. Day and Mr. Hull will be around the school to greet you as well as classroom teachers, counselors, Related Arts teachers, ENL teachers, and our Exceptional Learner teachers!
• Mrs. Wilson, our school nurse, will be onsite in the clinic to accept medications, update immunization records, and answer questions.

• Our FCI PTO will be in the Cafe to distribute 1st Day School Supplies kits and have volunteer sign-up sheets.
• 6th graders may visit our Band & Orchestra info table.
• Families may park in either the front lot or the bus lot. You may enter through the following doors:
• Front of building - doors 1, 2, and 27
• Bus lot - doors 23 and 24

Copies of the attached checklist will be available or view it now by downloading the attached FCI Open House Checklist 2026

We are excited to share that FCI is continuing our renovation! During this time, we will be intentional to focus on maintaining a positive, safe learning environment for our students. Navigating a school renovation can be exciting yet challenging at times. Our students last year did a fabulous job in all of our learning spaces and will do the same this semester. We have a tentative date for Winter Break to have our fifth graders moved into a completed renovation in the green hallway.

Note: Our office staff will tentatively be located in the Nest which is the area opposite the future office area. Families will still ring the bell to request entry. An office staff member will answer the call then admit you through the front door to the Nest to assist.

Consider the following throughout our renovation:

1. Stay Informed: We will be sharing upcoming information as appropriate to keep families up-to-date.
   
2. Maintain Flexibility: Be prepared for changes in schedules, classroom locations, or school routines. Flexibility can help your child adapt to any disruptions more easily.
3. Communicate with Your Child: Talk to your child about the renovation and reassure them that the changes are temporary. Encourage them to express their feelings & concerns, validating their experiences.
4. Support a Positive Attitude: Help your child see the renovation as an exciting change rather than a disruption. Highlight the benefits of the improved facilities and how they will enhance their learning environment in the future.
   
5. Plan for Adjustments: Renovations might lead to adjustments in drop-off and pick-up locations, parking, or access to school facilities. Make sure you know about any changes and plan accordingly to avoid confusion or delays.
   
6. Encourage Adaptability: Use this as an opportunity to teach your child about resilience and adaptability. Share examples of how people cope with changes and how flexibility can be a strength.
   
7. Foster Open Communication with School Staff: Regularly check in with teachers or school administrators if you have concerns. Building a good relationship with school staff can help address issues promptly and ensure that your child's needs are met.
   
8. Create Consistent Routines: Maintaining a consistent routine at home can provide a sense of stability for your child amidst the changes at school.
   

Overall, a positive attitude and proactive approach can significantly help your child navigate the changes and minimize the stress associated with the renovation.

Starting a new school year is an exciting time, but it can also bring about stress or anxiety. You can help calm your child's fears with these easy tips.

Ease into the Routine - Switching from a summer to school schedule can be stressful for everyone in the household. Avoid first-day-of-school craziness by practicing your routine a few days in advance. Set the alarm clock, go through your morning schedule, and get going early in the morning. Routines help kids feel comfortable, and establishing a solid school routine will make the first day of school much smoother.

Connect with the School - For many of our students, they are starting at a new and larger building. Ease any anxiety about a new building and/or new teachers by taking advantage of opportunities to see the school.

• Tour the building at the FCI Open House - August 3, 4:30-6:00pm to put students at ease after visiting the building.
• The Falcon Family Connection Night on Tuesday, August 11 is an opportunity for parents to learn more about FCI, their child's teachers, and how to help their child be successful here at school. 5th Grade - 5:30-6:15 pm, Related Arts - 6:30-7:00 pm, 6th Grade - 7:15-8:00 pm

Tool Up - Taking the time to shop for and organize school supplies and other essentials can help your child feel prepared. Before obtaining their schedule the first week of August, you can stock up from the general supply list posted on the FCI website. Know that once your child has been assigned to a teaching team, you will have a chance to get all of the details needed for the year.

Connect with Friends - A familiar face can make all the difference when starting a new school year. Summer schedules are busy, and your child may have lost touch with their friends from last year. Encourage them to reconnect with a friend from the bus or last year's team. Also, help them to get excited about the idea of meeting new friends with the new year.

We are here to help.

Please contact us with questions or resources to consider! Thank you!

Listen to morning announcements and read upcoming newsletters for information on our school's activities.

The first activity that both 5th and 6th graders can participate in is Cross Country. We will have more information regarding this sport soon!

Throughout the year there are many fun activities to get involved in. Here is a list of many of these extracurricular activities:

• Athletics - Cross Country, Boys and Girls Basketball (6th Grade Only), Intramural Volleyball, Track & Field
• Academic - Spell Bowl, Robotics, Science Bowl, Math Bowl
• Arts - Choir, Band & Orchestra (6th Grade Only)

Get Involved - Fall Creek Intermediate

Families in need of Free and/or Reduced Meals must reapply each year. The application process is through Skyward Family Access. You will access this through the Food Service Application tile on your student's homepage.

Depending on student lunch time, various teams may have snack. Your child's teachers will communicate with you if students will have snack and share a specific district-approved snack list.

Note that at FCI, our students are allowed to bring water bottles to school. Plain water only should be brought to school in water bottles. (e.g., no energy drinks/Propel/flavor inserts, Gatorade, soda, coffee, etc.) Water spills are easy to clean up! Other drinks can create a 'sticky' situation that is difficult to clean and unnecessary during our school day. Water to hydrate is perfect!

During the school day, food, including candy, is only to be consumed in the cafeteria or under the direct supervision of a staff member. Gum is not allowed at FCI unless indicated by direct approval by a teacher or staff member.

Outside drinks or commercially-prepared/vendor-prepared foods, including fast foods, are not permitted on school property during the school day or meal time without prior approval by the building principal/designee.

See the HSE J07.06 Wellness Procedure for more information.

We're excited to kick off a new school year! The PTO creates opportunities for students to connect outside the classroom through after-school events like Grade Level Hangouts, Game Nights, and more. We keep these events simple because we've found that's what students enjoy most: extra time with their friends.

Each fall, we host Chalk Walk, our largest fundraiser. The funds raised allow the PTO to invest in students, support our teachers, and provide opportunities that benefit our school throughout the year.

With renovations continuing this year, some events may look a little different than in the past. We'll keep families updated as plans come together.

Everything we do is made possible by parent volunteers. If you're interested in serving on a committee or connecting as a sponsor or community partner, complete the PTO Interest Form below. We'd love to have you involved.

All 5th and 6th grade students are encouraged to participate in FCI’s cross country program, which focuses on skill-building, fitness, and a positive team experience. This program will begin at the end of August.

In addition, a limited opportunity exists for 6th grade athletes to move up and compete with the junior high cross country team. This program is significantly more competitive and involves a greater time commitment, higher expectations, and more intense training. This opportunity is intended for dedicated runners who are ready for a more challenging cross country environment.

Fill out this interest and registration form to be added to communications for the team.

If students ever experience any type of harassment, we ask that they report this immediately to an administrator, school counselor or trusted adult. Beyond reporting directly to building officials, HSE Schools has an entire support system in place for filing concerns and complaints, which can be located on our District website.
