A special thank you to the Brock & Price Family Donors for adding 6 additional bikes (and 12 bike helmets) to our “After MAP Testing” celebration and special bike drawing! Students earned tickets throughout the state testing season for being on time, putting forth effort, and striving to do their best.

We’d also like to thank our PTO for donating gift cards for the drawings as well. Congratulations to all of our student recipients!

The testing season can be stressful for our scholars on top of everything else they manage each day. This was a small way to encourage them to keep pushing forward and doing their best. We are proud of our students and grateful for the support of our families and community!

Congratulations to the CSD 58 Class of 2026 graduates and their families! A special shoutout to our former Indian Creek Bulldogs!

Thank you to Principal Wiegers and Dr. Dixon for affording the time and space for our special group photo and the senior walk at the elementary schools.

Congratulations to all of the seniors who achieved special honors. It was wonderful to see former Indian Creek students recognized among the Top 5% and Top 10% of the graduating class, as well as for Individual Awards, CNA Credentials, 13-Year CSD Recognition, Academic Letters, Scholarship Pins, and Department Awards!

Continue to soar! We are so proud of you all!

Teacher/Staff vs. Parents Tug-O-War at Field Day 2026!

IC Parents are the BEST! We battled it out twice during the primary and intermediate sessions. I’m happy to report that the IC Team pulled off the win both times, but our parents gave us a great battle and showed amazing sportsmanship throughout!

Thank you to all of our families for bringing the fun, energy, and support to make Field Day such a success!
