Principal Points from Mrs. Thompson
Our 2nd grade classes had a great week for their field trips to Fishers AgriPark. They were able to see the last bit of crops, animals, and Spirit the horse. They learned to observe like scientists and to take notes about plant and animal adaptations. Thank you to the City of Fishers for this wonderful program!
Our Fall weather has officially arrived. As the weather begins to turn cooler, please be sure that your child has a jacket to wear out to recess.
Enjoy your weekend!
Danielle Fetters Thompson, Principal
Lunch Visitors
“We know that many of our families have enjoyed the opportunity to eat lunch with their student(s). However, due to safety and space limitations in some of our schools, district administration has made the difficult decision to keep our student lunches closed to all outside guests at this time.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and encourage you to look for other opportunities to engage with your student(s), their class, and our schools. There are many ways to get involved! If you have any questions or concerns, contact Jimmie Lake, Chief Operations Officer, at 317-594-4100 or jlake@hse.k12.in.us”
