HSE Schools will be sponsoring a couple of fun enrollment promotions. In April, a school bus will be parked around the community and clues on where to find the bus will be sent via social media. Go find the bus and post a selfie on Facebook and Twitter! Also, the Hamilton Southeastern Education Foundation is sponsoring a backpack giveaway for students who enroll by April 30. A name will be drawn at random from EACH school, and those lucky students will win a backpack with school supplies AND a $50 gift card to Meijer!
Kindergarten Open House is Coming – April 13
Join us at our Kindergarten Open House on 4/13. See the Open House flyer below for entrance times. One parent and your new incoming Kindergartener will be given a passport to take the “Tiger Trek” through our school to collect goodies and information. Along your journey, you’ll visit key locations and classrooms where your student will be learning such as the gym, cafeteria, media center, and other cool places.
You can also visit the nurse to drop off any important medical information. Our office staff will be here as well to answer enrollment questions, make copies of required documents, etc. to ensure your child is properly enrolled.
At the end of your trek through FES, you will receive a certificate for a free kid’s meal at BIBIBOP, get to touch and look in a real school bus, take a picture in our school frame, and enjoy some Kona Ice!

COLLEGE AND CAREER MONTH STARTING MARCH 29th
Every year, FES has a College and Career Week! This is a fun time for students to learn about different jobs and careers and explore their interests. This year, just like most of the school year, it will look a little different. We are going to spread this over the month of April to help teachers continue their core teaching and find ways to integrate this into their lessons.
We will kick it off with a Spirit week starting Monday, March 29th. We would love for you to zoom in with your child’s class or grade level and teach them about your job. You can fill out this Microsoft form to let us know you are interested in doing that. Or you can email your child’s teacher. Thanks for helping us teach our students how to think about the future!

COVID CONTACT TRACING - HSE SCHOOLS
Schools will immediately contact Fishers Health Department and/or Hamilton County Health Department upon learning of a positive COVID case among student body or staff. The Indiana State Department of Health will lead contact tracing and case investigation in consultation with FHD. As of Feb. 17, general notification of COVID-related cases in schools via Skylert will cease. Families will only be notified if their student(s) are a close contact. This change in practice is to reduce confusion. All COVID-related cases among students and staff can be found on the COVID19 Data Dashboard and is updated on Monday mornings. The dashboard was created to provide transparency about what is happening in the school corporation.
