IPS parents and students gear up for back-to-school with 'Back to School Night'
INDIANAPOLIS — More Central Indiana students will return to class this week. To ensure they get a strong start, Indianapolis Public Schools is hosting"Back to School Nights” to allow kids to meet their teachers and take home supplies.
"We have about 420 students that are scheduled to come on the first day. Our students come from all backgrounds, and all environments. We have a lot of international students this year," Mary Preston, Principal of Charles Warren Fairbanks School said."Many of our students, are learning English for the first time, or they're learning to read. They're trying to get a good grasp of number sense and all those things," Preston said.
That's why when it comes to"Back to School Night,” Preston said they must go the extra mile to make sure parents and students have a smooth transition. "By having our school supplies and notebooks and paper and pencils all of those supplies. It allows parents to not worry about those things, we have them," Preston said."Ever since I have been going here, that's how it has been,” said Shipp."It was a hard time for my mom and me. I didn't ask for more things because I knew she was going through something.""It's okay to be different from people.
To see when your student's back-to-school night is, check out the schedule on the district's website.
