Welcome to Indian Lake Elementary School's web site.

blribbon We hope you will find information of use to you, whether you are one of our students, a teacher, a parent, or are simply someone interested in our community and school.

Indian Lake's dedicated staff is always eager to plan and design challenging learning experiences that meet the needs of all our students. We encourage our students to pursue educational excellence and achieve high academic standards. Standardized test scores rank our students among the highest in both Middle Tennessee and national percentiles. We are an accredited school with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Through Indian Lake's success in test scores and a thorough evaluation of our school's curriculum, we have been recognized as one of the top schools in the country by receiving the 2004 National Blue Ribbon Award.

Indian Lake is a true community based school with strong parental support and involvement. We have a very active PTO with many volunteers that help us achieve many of our goals throughout the school year. Thank you, parents, for all the support you so unselfishly give to ILE. Your support is one reason we have an outstanding school.

Always feel free to contact me, or make an appointment to come by.

8 Keys of Excellence

Integrity

To align our actions with our values. A person of integrity consistently follow a strict code of personal values in a way that demonstrates moral excellence.

Failure Leads to Success

To see failures as feedback. We can learn from mistakes and make the changes needed to be more successful in the future.

Speak With Good Purpose

Give positive, honest and direct communication

Speaking with Good Purpose is the cornerstone of healthy relationships. When you give someone honest, direct feedback with good intention, what results? You cut through the "chatter." You build trust. You make people sit up and listen when you speak.

This is It!

To focus our attention on the present moment. Make whatever we are doing at any given time the most important.

Commitment

To do what we set out to do. When we live a life of commitment, we have the discipline to follow through with our commitments to others and to ourselves, even when it is challenging.

Ownership

To take responsibility for our thoughts, feelings, words, and actions. Ownership is knowing that we can't always control what happens, but we can control how we resond.

Flexibility

To change our actions to get the desired outcome. Flexibility allows us multiple ways to get the result.

Balance

To make the choices in our life that provide lasting fulfillment. Inner happiness comes from making choices that fill up our body, mind and spirit.
