The staff at Indian Springs Elementary School strives to help each child reach his/her fullest potential. Our goal is to create a positive, child-centered learning environment while respecting the uniqueness of each individual and providing equitable opportunity for all children. We strive to foster individual responsibility and a love of lifelong learning while guiding students to successfully achieve state standards. We view parents and community as essential partners in each student’s educational success.
