A new school year introduces improvements for Indian Mills Schools
A new school year introduces new improvements for Indian Mills School and Indian Mills Memorial School.
Students will have a smooth entrance into the next grade as the school year approaches, due to sidewalk repairs at both schools.
In addition, the middle school gymnasium underwent a full renovation of flooring upgrades, new paint, new padding to the walls and a switch from manual to electric bleachers — creating a safe environment for students to stay active.
As far as curriculum changes, there will be a new math program called “GO Math!” by Houghton Mifflin that will be implemented for grades K-6.
