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.
For Preston, Charles Warren Fairbanks School is one of IPS’s hidden gems.
“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.
