Picture Retake Day
We have scheduled picture retakes for Wednesday, February 3rd.
Virtual Students: 8:15am - 9:00am
If your virtual student has not had their picture taken, please bring them to door 1 (main entrance) anytime from 8:15am - 9:00am. A staff member will be there to greet your child and escort them to the photographer.
Preschool: 9:00am - 9:30am
If your child attends preschool on Wednesday morning, their class will go to the media center for retakes. If your child attends preschool on a different day/time, parents are invited to bring their student to the school during the virtual student hours.
KG - 4th
All Kg - 4th graders that are new to HRE or were absent on picture day will have their picture taken. If your child had their picture taken, but would like to have them redone, please send the portrait package or proof with them on retake day to give to the photographer and email your child's teacher so they know. Our teachers have a list of the students not photographed.
Please note that our photographers will only be here for a short time in the morning as we are not having the entire school photographed. If your child needs their picture taken, please be sure they are at school in the morning on the 3rd.

Raising HSE Podcast
HSE is proud to announce the creation of a new district podcast that will be aimed at our parents. The goal is to cover various relevant topics that will help our parents – in addition to sharing/promoting the work of HSE Schools.
The first podcast with Brooke Lawson and a few of our school counselors on virtual learning was just approved on Apple Podcasts! The podcast is called Raising HSE.
It will hopefully be up on Google, Spotify, etc. in the coming days pending approval.
If you don’t have Apple Podcast, you can also find it here on the web: https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-q8v9v-f759c0
