Special thanks to all the parents and staff members who attended the meeting and helped make their vision a reality. We cannot wait to see the finished mural!

YEARBOOK UPDATE
Upcoming PTO Dates
April 28 at 7 PM: PTO Meeting via Zoom
May 3-7: Staff Appreciation Week
May 11 at 7 PM: PTO Meeting via Zoom
Please join us via Zoom for a special PTO meeting on Wednesday, April 28 at 7:00 PM. As highlighted in Mr. Behrman’s video message in last week’s Tiger Tales, Stephanie Jones’s third grade class sought and received approval from both Mr. Behrman and Dr. Bourff to have a mural created by a professional artist on the exterior of our building. They are seeking financial support from the PTO to complete this project.
Due to the amount of money being requested, a majority vote of the general membership is required for approval. This is a time sensitive matter that requires a decision before our next general meeting, which is why this special meeting has been scheduled. All parents/guardians and staff members are eligible to vote on this proposal during this meeting. A Zoom link will be sent prior to the meeting. We hope you will consider joining us to see their proposal, learn more about this special project, and vote!

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!
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.
