Two students have had their usage revoked for using curse words in their messages. The Indian Creek Community Link Bulletin Board includes a school information area that contains rules for using the bulletin board, the school and district calendar, the lunch menu, and birthdays. There is a student area with interactive features including games, contests, and interesting information. An area for parents offers items about communicating with your child, nutrition, and wellness, along with the weekly newsletter. The improvement in students' writing skills has become apparent by their increasing use of punctuation marks, capital letters, longer sentences, and messages with paragraphs.
Teachers print certain of the messages to show students how they have progressed.
We have gifted students and behaviorally- disordered students who attend Indian Creek but are bused from different neighborhoods. Parents had informed us in past years how hard it was for these youngsters to make friends in the building. The bulletin board has been a way for the students to maintain contact with their friends in the evening and on weekends. It has helped them to feel connected to the Indian Creek school community. Students also have the opportunity to become key pals with retirees at a local nursing home.
