HRE Maker Space
We rolled out the Makerspace in the library and we have 2 sections. There is a creation & building section where students bring out their “inner engineer” and we also have a “make + take" part where kids can create items and take their creations home. Many of the students can access this space after they have found their books. Teachers will also be able to book additional times in the Makerspace to do science-based projects that align with our education standards, or have time to work with other classes in a cooperative building time.
If you would like to help donate to the Make + Take section, please consider sending in the following items. Your help would be GREATLY appreciated! Here is a list that would benefit the students at HRE:
- beads
- wooden popsicle sticks
- tape (masking, regular tape, duct tape)
- markers
- buttons
- pipe cleaners
- construction paper
- string/yarn

Volunteers and Lunch Visitors
Hoosier Road Elementary always has many opportunities for parents to become involved. Whether it’s through volunteering in the classroom or a PTO event, attending classroom activities or even eating lunch with your child, you must have a valid background check on file and view the anti-bullying training on-line. Background checks are valid for three years. Please allow up to 6 business days for checks to be completed. Please follow this link for complete directions: http://www.hse.k12.in.us/ADM/parents/volunteering.aspx
We want you to be able to interact with our students but we also need to adhere to strict safety guidelines set forth by our school district. Look for an email from Safe Visitor Solutions which will issue a bar code unique to you. Please bring that bar code (on your phone or on paper) on your first visit to HRE so we may take your photo! Thank you for your compliance and for helping to keep all of our students safe.
