A Message from the Clinic
Please remember to send your student to school healthy. If a student is ill and has any of the symptoms of Covid listed below, we encourage you to get your student tested using a PCR test, which is available via Fishers Health Department (COVID Vaccine | Fishers, IN - Official Website) or the Indiana Department of Health (ISDH - Novel Coronavirus: COVID-19 Testing Information). PCR tests are the most accurate and provide less risk of a false positive or negative result. A visit to your physician is also suggested if you feel this is not Covid-related, then a doctor's note would be needed for your student to return to school. Please do not send your child to school ill or while waiting for Covid test results.
Symptoms to monitor for:
Fever or chills
Cough
Shortness of Breath or difficulty breathing
Fatigue
Muscle or body aches
Headache
New loss of taste or smell
Sore Throat
Congestion or runny nose
Nausea, vomiting or diarrhea
BOOK RENTAL AND IPAD FEES
The collections process will begin on November 10th for all unpaid book fees. Payment arrangements can be made with the school treasurer (Jennifer Eichenauer: jeichenauer@hse.k12.in.us) prior to November 10th to avoid your account going to collections.
Hero Family Outreach
Once again, Hoosier Road Elementary School students are invited to donate their extra Halloween candy to our troops overseas. With Veterans Day right around the corner, this is a perfect way for HRE students to recognize those who have sacrificed so much for our country's freedom by "sacrificing" some of their Halloween candy. All types of wrapped, store-bought candy will be accepted.
