A message from our Superintendent

Please excuse our mess while we remodel.
Every building within the campus of the Indian Hill School District will be under construction in some capacity this summer.

We are Building a Brave Future for our students, for our staff, for our
community – and construction will cause some disruption until the updates are complete in August of 2023.

To help minimize issues, we have included important information for all members of the Indian Hill School District within this
publication, including detailed information on trafic updates, our construction timeline, and the work you can expect to see complete at various stages of progress.

Our most up-to-date budget and design images for all buildings are also inside this issue. We thank every stakeholder who participated in the development of these designs. From the initial community meeting in September of 2018 and
through every phase of research and development to arrive at these renderings – we appreciate your thoughtful dedication to creating facilities that will serve generations of Braves to come!

It is an exciting time to be a part of the Brave family!

In service to our children,

Superintendent

SAFETY FIRST

New Safety Measures

Enhanced safety measures at each school entrance have been designed using guidance from the Indian Hill Rangers and other professional school safety consultants. Some common features in our updated entrances include: locked vestibules, two-phase security entrances, and improved
line of sight from ofices to doors. We have an advanced security camera system throughout our campus that allows us to monitor students, staff, and visitors at all times. This security camera system also can be accessed remotely by school oficials and the Indian Hill Rangers.

New Transportation App

This spring, our Transportation Department deployed a new app called “Stopfinder” for our Indian Hill Primary School and Indian Hill Elementary School students. This allows families to check each student’s bus
schedule, bus number, and driver name. Parents/guardians can also receive alerts for real-time information on their child’s bus location and receive notifications when a
bus is delayed.

Staff and Visitor Badges

Improved identification practices enable staff to track and easily identify visitors in the buildings. All adults in our buildings,
including staff, visitors, and contractors, must wear a visible ID badge. A newly integrated school safety software creates custom
ID badges and allows us to screen and track visitors while they are in our schools.

Indian Hill School District Makes Significant K-12 Indoor Air Quality Improvements

The Indian Hill School District is leading the way in K-12 indoor air quality by equipping its classrooms with state-of-the-art air purification technology provided by Protect|ED, a leading supplier of innovative air quality products.

The partnership will support the district in its continued efforts to combat viruses and keep children and teachers healthy and in school. The district, which serves nearly 2,200 scholars, is installing 143 units.

The portable WellAir Protect 900W with NanoStrikeTM Technology incorporates patented technology that kills airborne micro-organisms and provides the first line of protection against viruses and bacteria such as COVID-19, influenza, and more. Rooted in science, NanoStrikeTM Technology has been embraced by the medical community for the past decade and is used by institutions such as the Mayo Clinic and the Cleveland Clinic. More than 60 clinical and lab studies show NanoStrikeTM Technology reduces certain viruses and pathogens up to 99.99 percent and takes only 45 minutes to circulate and clean air in a standard-size classroom entirely.

The Indian Hill School District is installing 143 air purification units equipped with NanoStrikeTM Technology across campus.
