Exciting news from your Cafeteria!
Your student is now able to purchase daily snacks during lunch. When they come through the line there will be one or more choices of snacks ranging in cost from $0.80 to $1.25. If you would like your student to have the option to purchase a snack, be sure to keep funds in their lunch account.
If you would prefer that your student not purchase any snacks or limit purchases, or if you have any questions, please contact the Cafeteria Manager at your school.
*Breakfast & Lunch Meals are still free, but snacks are not included.

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
Your child's book and IPad rental fees were due October 1st. Please pay your child's fees via EFunds or by sending in a check made out to Hoosier Road Elementary. Be sure to put checks in a sealed envelope and include your student’s name, teacher’s name, and student ID (lunch number). Unfortunately we are unable to process credit or debit cards in the office. Book fees need to be paid in full asap. Payment arrangements can be made with the school treasurer (Jennifer Eichenauer: jeichenauer@hse.k12.in.us).
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.
