Once ordered, expect your shirts to arrive in 5-7 business days.

scholars must have up-to-date immunization records on file. Refer to the guidelines offered by the state of Indiana below: Each school must ensure that parents provide proof of their child's immunization status no later than the first day of school, either through documentation from the administering health care provider or the state immunization data registry.

Celebrating 2023-2024 School Year!
Celebrate Our Attendance
This academic year, our focus was on ensuring that our students were present and on time every day. We recognized and rewarded our students for perfect attendance on a monthly, quarterly, and yearly basis with special incentives. We are proud to announce that two students achieved perfect attendance for the entire school year: A. Mcclure (5th grade) and J. Philips (3rd grade).
Pictured Above: Scholars with perfect attendance during ILEARN were invited to participate in a demonstration with Sub Zero Ice Cream and enjoy a sweet treat.

The Boys Middle School Basketball Team had a perfect regular season, Vanessa F. was named to the district All-Star Volleyball Team, Keon L. earned a spot on the district All-Star Boys Basketball Team, and Michael C. and Lucy C. were both honored as Athletes of the Year.

REMINDER! Uniform Policy
At Emma Donnan, we adhere to a strict uniform policy to create a conducive environment for learning and safety. Ensuring that scholars are in proper uniform allows us to focus on academics without distractions. It is crucial for scholars to be in uniform daily to maintain this productive atmosphere. We kindly request your cooperation in making sure your scholar is dressed in the designated attire before arriving at school each day.
Scholars are required to wear either an Emma Donnan or Adelante shirt paired with jeans (without rips), khakis, navy, or gray pants. Footwear must be closed-toed and cover the entire foot; Crocs, slides, slippers, and sandals are not permitted.
Consequences, such as loss of recess or extracurricular activities, detention, etc., will be enforced for scholars who do not comply with the uniform policy.
If you require help with obtaining uniforms, kindly fill out our assistance form. We do offer limited donations that we can allocate to families in need.
