Indian Lake Central School District

Let's GO Orange Nation!

Due to the weather, all after school activities have been canceled for December 10th.

At the end of each sports season, the NYSPHSAA honors those teams and individuals who excel in the classroom. Those student-athletes, teams, and schools work very hard throughout the year and deserve to be recognized for their academic success. To receive Scholar-Athlete team recognition with a certificate, the team’s average GPA for 75% of the roster must be greater than or equal to 90.00. Both Orange varsity basketball teams met the criteria to be recognized this past fall. Our Indian Lake individual scholar-athletes for this past soccer season were Abigail Hall and Mason Fredette. Congratulations and keep up the hard work, athletes!

There will be no BOCES runs or field trips today due to the weather.

⛷️ Ski Lesson Reminder! For any ski kids who need rentals, please plan to be at the mountain this Sunday at 11:30 AM to get fitted before their lesson. Thanks so much—we’re looking forward to a great day on the slopes! ❄️⛷️ From Abby Eichler

The best way to spread HOLIDAY cheer is singing loud for all to hear! Please consider joining us for this joyous occasion - don't forget to sign-in in the Main Office before joining us in the gymnasium!

This holiday season, our ILCS community has once again shown incredible kindness and generosity. Thanks to your support, we have raised hundreds of dollars for Operation Santa Claus and our local Salvation Army—directly helping families in need right here in our Local Communities. We are also wrapping up our Winter Coat Drive this week, and we are grateful for every donation of new or gently used cold-weather gear.

Looking ahead, our NHS and NJHS students will be bell-ringing for the Salvation Army on December 11th, just before the Holiday concert.
We hope to see you there!

Thank you for your continued support.
Your kindness truly makes a difference.
