A Message from Mr. Hoog
Dear BSE families,
As you can see from all of the information in this Bear Bulletin, we have a lot of exciting things going on right now. In addition to everything you read about in this newsletter, we wanted to let you know we just finished our fall NWEA testing for all kindergarten through 4th graders. You should expect to see email results in the near future.
We also wanted to let you know that we conducted one of our two mandated Tornado Drills for the school year yesterday (the second will be after the New Year). Our students were either taught, or reminded, about where to go in the event of extremely high winds and how to position themselves. HSE schools practice various types of drills throughout the year, including monthly fire drills.
As always, we truly appreciate the support of our families. You make BSE a great place to be! We hope you all have a wonderful three-day weekend.
Mr. Hoog
Parking Reminders
- Parking is not permitted along the curb. That area is reserved for moving traffic only. If leaving your vehicle, even if just dropping off a student, please park in a designated space.
The MUDSOCK Game is coming soon! You know what that means...
- Our goal is to surpass last year's donations (a total of 401 lbs of pasta).
- Students will be bringing home plastic bags donated by Meijer. If you choose to participate, please place your donated pasta in the bags and have your child bring them to school the week of September 9th.
Fishers High School will be hosting the annual MUDSOCK GAME vs Hamilton Southeastern High School on September 13th.
- 2018-19 teachers of the year from all 21 schools will again be recognized during halftime of the Mudsock game, including our own Mrs. Kussy, HSE Corporation's Teacher of the Year!
