Effective July 1, 2024, all Indiana schools will be required to participate in current legislation regarding the restriction of cell phones in our schools. This bill was signed by Indiana’s Governor, Eric Holcomb March 12th, 2024. The purpose of the restriction is to decrease distractions while increasing classroom engagement helping us to fulfill our promise of delivering a high quality education. Beginning the first day of school, Monday, August 12th, we will be fully enforcing the Governor’s order to strengthen our existing cell phone policy so that during the day, our campuses are phone-free and academically focused.

Please see the full policy here: https://5il.co/2qrem

Don't forget about our enrollment event at our Primary Campus today. We will have an ice cream social. This event will give parents the opportunity to complete their SY 24-25 Registration, SY 24-25 Bus Registration, and have some ice cream. Please join us between 1pm-4pm today!

NWILCS Bus Registrations for the 24-25 school year have been sent out this morning to all families via Bright Arrow to the email that we have on file for your scholar. If you have not received the bus registration information for the upcoming school year and need to register your scholar for the bus, please call or stop into your campus' office between 8am-12pm, Monday through Friday throughout the summer. Remember, bussing is on a first come, first served basis and you must register EACH of your scholars EACH year for bus services.
