HRE Helps Houston
Don't forget- HRE and our Fishers community are working to fill a semi-truck with supplies to help an elementary school affected by Hurricane Harvey in Houston, TX! Braeburn Elementary School was flooded to the point that it needs to be rebuilt. In the meantime, the students and staff of Braeburn have been relocated to a former high school. They are in desperate need of supplies. The school's population is 99% Free and Reduced, and 80% ENL. Many of the students' homes were also impacted by the hurricane.
Our big goal is to go beyond this initial truck donation and "adopt" this school in need. We are hoping to match up classrooms, create pen pals, Skype, and much more!
We will continue collecting items tonight from 5pm - 8pm and Saturday from 8am - 12pm at Hoosier Road Elementary.

Body Safety with Chaucie's Place
Hoosier Road Elementary is partnering again this year with Chaucie’s Place, a child advocacy organization in Hamilton County, to bring Smart Steps™: A Body Safety Program for Children to our Kindergarten, 2nd and 4th grade students. Smart Steps™ is a child sexual abuse prevention and education program that empowers your child to say “NO!” to unwanted touches from anyone who makes them feel uncomfortable.
Hoosier Road's Body Safety student program will be held on November 6th, 2017. If you have questions or concerns about this program, we invite you to attend a Chaucie’s Place Parent Night to learn more about the Smart Steps™program. Please attend the following parent informational meeting:

Book Rental and iPad Fees
Your child's book and iPad rental fees have been posted to Skyward. Payments can be made 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 number. Fees are due no later than September 29th. When viewing student fees in Skyward Family Access, there will be multiple fees displayed that may look similar. However, for grades 1 through 4 there will be one for textbook fees and one for consumable fees. Kindergarten students will have a textbook, consumable and material fee. Textbook and consumable fees may include digital resources or periodicals depending on the grade level. If your student is renting an iPad, a separate fee will be listed.
If you have any questions regarding your student’s fees or if you need to set up payment arrangements, please contact Jennifer Eichenauer at jeichenauer@hse.k12.in.us.
