Mudsock 2019 VIP Tickets on sale now
As the Mudsock football game week approaches, the annual Pasta Bowl food drive is set to commence. Get Fired Up for the annual HSE Pasta Bowl. Several schools within our district are coming together to help support more than 4 local hunger relief organizations by collecting pasta for the 2019 Pasta Bowl. In addition to collecting boxes of pasta; the Pasta Bowl is also designed to help raise awareness for the local 1 in 7 students that struggle with food insecurity. This number increases to 1 in 4 students in some of our HSE buildings and we need your help! We are asking the you combine forces with HRE and help us achieve our goal of at least 1400 pounds of pasta to donate to this year's collection. Last year, HRE was the Elementary Pasta Bowl Champions and we want to make sure that we keep our title again this year by collecting even MORE items! The best way to achieve this goal is by averaging two boxes of pasta per student. Thank you for your support!

Photographers from Lifetouch Studios will be at Hoosier Road on Friday, September 13th to take our annual school pictures! As always, pictures will be available for purchase.

PARENT VOLUNTEERS NEEDED IN THE LIBRARY/MEDIA CENTER
The Hoosier Road Elementary Library/Media Center stays a well-oiled machine because of countless hours of parent volunteers. Therefore, we are seeking volunteers to come help in the library preferably during your child's class's scheduled library time. Volunteers would primarily assist with checking out and shelving of books. Please email Sarah Dobson at sdobson@hse.k12.in.us if you are interested. THANK YOU!
School Directory
We have had a number of parents wanting to find ways to schedule playdates, parties, etc. with their children’s classmates. HSE has made this possible with our Online School Directory. This service is only available for those families that choose to “OPT IN”.
You may select what information you would like other parents to see (such as address, phone numbers) for birthday invitations and the like. If you would like to “OPT IN” please follow the steps below:
- Login to Skyward
- Click on “MY ACCOUNT” tab in the upper right corner
- Scroll down to the bottom of the page and find the School Directory section
- Choose which information you would like to share
- Click Save in the upper right corner
Please note that the only people that will have access to this, are the families at Hoosier Road Elementary. If you have older children at other schools, their information will only be shared with the families at their school. We hope this will help our students to be able to stay connected outside of school hours.
