For the 2025–2026 school year, fifth and sixth-grade students, county-wide, who receive speech and language services will be completing their services with an online speech therapist. If you have questions related to this process, please reach out to Todd Ebinger or call (812) 346-4483.
Our fall festival is happening on Friday, September 26 from 5:30 until 7:30 p.m. We hope you will join us for some fall fun.
Indiana’s public and charter schools must meet requirements to identify, as early as possible, struggling readers who show risk factors for dyslexia and then provide systematic, sequential, and multisensory instruction to meet their needs.
All kindergarten through second-grade students will undergo a universal screener to check their skills in six different areas. These areas are: phonological and phonemic awareness (ability to separate and change sounds in words), alphabet knowledge (name different letters), sound-symbol relationship (phonics), decoding (reading), rapid naming (quickly name common objects), and encoding (spelling).
Students who fall below a set score, or benchmark on the universal screener, will be found “at some risk” for the characteristics of dyslexia.
If you do not want your child to participate in the universal screener, please contact the instructional coach at your school.
We have many items that have been collected in Lost & Found since the beginning of the year. See Miss Dea in the Student Service Center Office to claim. These items will be donated at the end of the 9 weeks if not claimed.
For registration information call (812) 522-2434. NVE hours are 5:30 to 7:30 a.m. and 3:20 to 6:00 p.m.
Reminder: Pickup begins at 4:00 p.m. Adults will not be permitted in the building until that time.
Fall pictures will take place on Friday, October 3. Dress your best, and be ready to smile!

The cost is $30, payable on August 17. Practices will only take place on Sundays; coaches typically hold a short practice before each game.

We are glad to see this school year is off to a great start! Here are a few things to keep in mind as we prepare to have a successful year together!
- Tennis shoes are required for students to participate in PE. Please have your child wear tennis shoes on PE days.
- Do not send pop or soda in lunches. There may be special occasions during the year when pop or soda is allowed, but it is not permitted at lunchtime.
- Students may be dropped off starting at 7:30 a.m. At that time, they will go to a holding area with their grade level.
- Students are dismissed from the holding area at 7:50 a.m. to go to class.
- Students arriving after 8:15 a.m. will be counted tardy.
- To report dismissal changes or absences, please text (812) 379-8841 or email our office.
- Submit appointment notes (i.e., doctor, dentist) to the office.
- A pick-up tag must be visible in the vehicle picking up a student in the car rider line.
- Bring a photo ID anytime you are picking up a child or attending a meeting.
Thank you for helping us create a safe and organized environment for all students.
Routine speech and hearing screenings will be conducted throughout the school year. If you do not wish for your child to be screened, please send in a written note.
