We are excited to announce that enrollment for our Summer STEAM Discovery Camp is now open!
This year’s theme, “The Science of it All!”, will engage students in hands-on, project-based learning through investigations, design challenges, collaboration, movement, and presentations—all while exploring how science connects to the world around them.

We are grateful for your ongoing partnership and collaboration. We are asking for your support in reinforcing our school dress code expectations with our Mariners.
Our dress code helps promote student safety, a respectful learning environment, fewer distractions, and school pride and professionalism. Please review the attached images with your child as a reminder of appropriate school attire.
We appreciate families partnering with us and your support helps us maintain a campus culture where all students can focus on learning and feel successful.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support!

Each morning from 7:30–8:00 AM, we encourage parents to gather at the front of the school to cheer on our students as they arrive. Bring a positive attitude and, if you’d like, wave encouraging signs to help boost their confidence and start their day strong.
In addition, our amazing parent volunteers are currently preparing decorations for upcoming promotion celebrations. If you would like to support these efforts, you are welcome to contribute by purchasing items from the wishlist:

We want to share information regarding steps our staff have taken to ensure the safety of all individuals. In light of recent events at a high school in a neighboring district, and out of an abundance of caution, we are taking additional measures to ensure the safety of our students, staff, and families. This includes increased district support and ongoing visibility and communication with local law enforcement regarding the reporting of any possible concerns that may arise.
Please be assured that there are no credible safety concerns at this time to Innovative Horizons, or any other school within the Perris Elementary School District. All schools and programs, including after school activities, will continue to operate as scheduled.
We deeply value our partnership with you. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to our school administration at 951-657-0728 or the PESD Student Services office at 951-940-4942.
Thank you for your continued support in keeping our community safe.
Best regards,
IHCS Administration
