Immaculate Conception School

Welcome to Immaculate Conception School.  In the proud tradition of the St. Mary Blue Wave, Immaculate Conception offers classes from pre-school to grade six in a safe, family oriented, and Christ centered atmosphere.  

The mission of Immaculate Conception School is to continue the tradition of providing a challenging academic program integrated with Catholic teaching, empowering students to nurture their God-given abilities to follow Jesus' example of prayer, faith, service, and love.

The Claymont, New Philadelphia, and Indian Valley school districts provide busing for families living in those districts.  IF YOU PLAN TO USE SCHOOL DISTRICT BUS THIS YEAR, YOU MUST CALL THE PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT TRANSPORTATION OFFICE.   The New Philadelphia district requires families to register at the district administration office on Front Street SW. 

If you have not done so already, please update the parent and student profile information in SchoolSpeak.    We’ve eliminated much of the “back-to-school” paperwork you’ve received in the past.   This information, including emergency contacts and medical information, is now on SchoolSpeak.    Please update your account as soon as possible. 

Is your family new to ICS?   Then please join us for an informal, “new family reception” at 6:30 pm Wednesday, August 14th.   Refreshments will be served.   This is a good time to ask questions about school routines, uniforms, volunteer requirements, and more.   Pre-School and pre-kindergarten families can return registration and health related forms.   All families from pre-school to grade six new to the school are invited to attend.

Our Back-to-School Open House is Monday, August 19 at 6:00 pm.   Please plan to attend to learn about plans for the new school year, drop-off school supplies, and visit the classrooms.  

School Supply lists are posted on the Parent Page of this website.

Used uniforms will be on display and available starting August 14.

Join us for a great night of food, games, and entertainment at the Dennison Knights of Columbus hall the evening of Saturday, October 19.   This will be a great event to benefit Immaculate Conception School and hope all families can be there!   

As part of the festivities, we'll host the Blue Wave Oktoberfest 5K and One Mile Fun Run that morning.

The Tuscarawas County Catholic Schools Board of Trustees met June 3.   The board created a Spiritual Life Committee to promote the spiritual life and Catholic identity in our schools.   The board is reviewing priorities established in the Building on Excellence strategic planning process completed several years ago.   Creation of the comittee is one result of that review.   The board minutes are HERE.

There is still time to register for the 2019-20 school year.
