Hinkle Creek Parents and Friends,
We are happy to announce that we are now allowing Parent Volunteers to come to school. A volunteer must be invited in to volunteer at our school by a staff member. In addition, all volunteers must have an approved criminal history background check to be eligible to volunteer. Please note: it takes up to 2 weeks to process an application for approval of a criminal history check. To apply, please visit our Noblesvilleschools.org website.
While we are allowing school volunteers, we are not allowing lunch room visitors at this time.
Spring Break is here! Hinkle Creek and Noblesville Schools will be on Spring Break from the end of school today (Friday, March 25th) until Monday, April 11th. School will resume on a regular schedule on Monday, April 11th.
Please enjoy the time with your student and have fun! Your student has worked hard this school year and deserves a wonderful break. While on Spring Break, please encourage your son/daughter to read every day and practice those math facts.
Attention 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade parents! When our students return to school after break on April 11th, we will soon be starting our standardized testing window. Parents, when scheduling appointments in April, please try to schedule all appointments during after school hours (ie.. after 2:30 PM). Thank you!
Thank you for being supportive parents! Have a wonderful Spring Break!
Jack Lawrence; Principal at Hinkle Creek
