Pike families,

Next school year, for the first time in several decades, all Pike schools will operate on the same calendar. Having one common calendar will increase efficiencies and eliminate some operational and scheduling challenges. This change will not impact the school assignments of our current students. Eagle Creek, Fishback, and New Augusta North and South will continue as “lottery-based” schools. Applications for the upcoming school year will be posted on Friday, February 21, 2020.

Greetings Pike Family!

Our Transportation Department has partnered with Synovia Solutions, Inc. to provide parents GPS tracking information on the expected arrival time of their child's bus. Please download the Here Comes the Bus App and use access code 74592 and your child's student identification number. Please contact your child's school if you do not have your child's student identification number. Also, log into Skyward Family Access and click on the Bus Tab to view your child's Stop Information.

Please note that bus routes are subject to change to accommodate new enrollments for the second semester of school.  As a result, stop times may vary until a routine is established. Please have your child at the stop 10 minutes before the time listed.

The Transportation Department will have phone lines staffed to assist with Bus Information between the hours of 8 AM - 4 PM. You can contact Transportation at 317-280-2450. We are Pike Family, and We are Pike Proud!

Important Parent and Community Information

Senate Enrolled Act 217

• Beginning with the 2019-2020 school year, Indiana’s public and

charter schools must meet added requirements to identify, as early as possible, struggling readers who show risk factors for dyslexia.

• All students in kindergarten through second grade participate in a universal screener to check foundational skill 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 words), rapid naming (quickly name common objects), and encoding (spelling).
• Students that do not meet benchmark on the universal screener may be “at-risk” or “at some risk” for the characteristics of dyslexia and get extra help to learn these skills.
• Schools inform families if students score below benchmark, sharing the child’s scores, information about the characteristics of dyslexia, and next steps to acquire more specific information on the student’s skills and where to start intervention lessons.

Skylert is the district's automated notification system that provides emergency alerts, notifications, and other informational alerts via phone call, email, and/or text message.

It has recently come to our attention that many of our families have been receiving Skylert emails, but not texts. 
This is because there is a specific "Text Message Numbers" field in Skyward Family Access that MUST be completed in order to receive text messages.
