Arrival and Dismissal
We will begin welcoming students into the building at 7:30. Thank you for understanding we do not have supervision for children prior to that time. We will begin releasing car riders to dismissal at 2:10. In order to facilitate the arrival and dismissal process, we ask that families have their child ride the bus if at all possible.
Reminders to all families choosing to have their children be a car rider:
- Please do not arrive to the building too early. Long lines that develop before the arrival or dismissal process begins cause traffic delays and safety concerns on both Harrison Parkway and 141st Street.
- Cars should follow the traffic pattern in school lot and move carefully. Do not pass parked cars in an attempt to leave the line or the lot more quickly.
- Cars should enter the school lot from the northbound lane closest to 141st Street. Please do not attempt to turn left into the lot and oncoming traffic line.
- For afternoon pick up, have a sign with your child's full name clearly displayed on the passenger side window.
- Watch carefully for buses arriving and departing from the school. Please allow busses to enter and exit the lots without blocking their path.
If you are a neighborhood family who chooses to walk and deliver or pick up your child, please use the main entrance (Door 1). Watch carefully for traffic along Harrison Parkway and be sure to use the provided crosswalks on the north and south ends of the school.
Thank you for helping to make arrival and dismissal safe and efficient for everyone!

HPE Library Connect
Each year, I work hard to put together a core group of library volunteers. Our library is a busy place and needs volunteers to keep things running smoothly. In a typical week, we will circulate around 2,000 books. Volunteers typically come for an hour or so and help run check out stations and shelve books.
If you would be interested in helping in the library, then please take a minute to fill out this form. I will be reaching out to those interested very soon to share dates and times for a library volunteer orientation. Volunteers will need to have a current background check on file with the schools. You can click the link below to get a background check started now.
Thank you!

Speech Language Corner
Speech screening will be conducted with all students in Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grades, and all new students to HPE. Speech errors that are age appropriate will be documented, monitored and in some cases, packets will be sent home to practice speech error sounds. Non age appropriate speech errors may warrant speech therapy, thus you will be contacted to discuss program options.
Feel free to contact me via email (tvanhorn@hse.k12.in.us) if you have any questions or concerns regarding your child's speech or hearing abilities.
Thanks and let's have a great year!
