Indian Creek Elementary School (NHJ United School Corporation) enrolls families primarily through the district’s online registration in Infinite Campus (new families use the district “Register” link; existing families update via the Parent Portal). (indiancreekschools.com) For kindergarten, the school announced an in-person registration event on February 19, 2026 at ICES (9–11 a.m., 12–2 p.m., and 5–7 p.m.), and families were instructed to bring the child plus proof of residency, a birth certificate, and vaccination records; students complete a short 1:1 assessment with a kindergarten teacher. (indiancreekschools.com) For preschool, the school announced an in-person registration event on February 18, 2026 (6:00–7:00 p.m.) in the preschool classroom (enter Door 8). (indiancreekschools.com) Non-resident/open-enrollment applicants (including families seeking a transfer) must complete the NHJ transfer application packet with supporting records (e.g., grades/report card, attendance, discipline, vaccination records, and IEP/504 if applicable), and the packet states applications were accepted up to February 2, 2026 and are reviewed only until grade-level capacity is met (no formal waitlist process is described).
