  • Sycamore Teacher Linda Mihm Earns Nomination For National History Teacher of the Year Award

    Longtime Sycamore teacher, Linda Mihm, has been nominated for the Patricia Behring Teacher of the Year award! Each of the 58 National History Day affiliates may nominate one middle school teacher for this award, and Ms. Mihm is the junior division nominee from Indiana. She teaches history to our middle school students. Every nominee for the $10,000 national award is a teacher who demonstrates a commitment to engaging students in historical learning through innovative use of primary sources, implementation of active learning strategies to foster historical thinking skills, and participation in the National History Day Contest. All nominees will receive $500, each, as a result of their nominations.

  • Letter From Head of School

    I'm sure you are all aware of Governor Holcomb's announcement yesterday that all public and non-public schools should close through May 1, which would mean that schools would resume on Monday, May 4. In the interest of the health of our community, Sycamore will comply with that request. In light of that decision, we will go forward with our Distance Learning Plan, with the exception of Monday, April 13. That is the day that we had planned to return to school, and teachers had planned to implement our DLP until then. On April 13, we will allow our teachers back in the building to plan and gather additional resources. We will resume our Distance Learning Plan on Tuesday, April 14.

Is your young child curious and talkative? Does he or she have a good sense of humor, learn quickly?  Does he or she remember everything that you ever promised? You may have a gifted child.

WE ARE SYCAMORE.

There will always be students who need schools like Sycamore, to stimulate, educate, and motivate our best and brightest.  We are educating kids, teaching them to think, both critically and creatively, and teaching them to love learning.

Today's students will be the leaders that will solve the problems of today and tomorrow. Sycamore is a prime example of institutional evolution and a story of response to a need. Our work will never be complete.



Weather Announcements

If Sycamore School is to be closed due to extreme weather conditions, announcements to parents will be sent to home and cell phones via the school’s automated alert system. Announcements will also be made on local TV and radio stations and their websites.  Closings will also be posted on the Sycamore School social media (Facebook and Twitter) feeds.  We will also post information on this sycamoreschool.org
