Snack Attack
Fishers Youth Assistance Program is pleased to offer Snack Attack again this school year and continue to support students in HSE Schools. For those unfamiliar, Snack Attack is a simple program designed to help students needing a little extra nourishment to get them through the weekend until they can receive a hot meal at school on Monday. There is no cost to the family or to the school, families just need to opt into the service. All students in need are welcome to participate.
Snack Attack bags are unmarked brown bags filled with ten snacks for junior high students that are picked up in the Guidance Office each Friday. Snacks are individually wrapped snacks such as granola bars, fruit cups, pop tarts, or peanut butter/crackers, Goldfish crackers, etc. The type of snacks will vary each week. If a child has a peanut allergy, he/she will receive a special white bag of peanut-free snacks.
If you would like to opt into this program, please email Mrs. Broughton (kbroughton@hse.k12.in.us) with your student(s) name and grade. Please also include if there is a peanut allergy.
If you would like to donate to the Fishers Youth Assistance Snack Attack program, donations may be dropped off at the front office or by sending in with your student. Monetary donations to Fishers Youth Assistance may be made by clicking on the link below:
Turtoring Club
Students at Fishers High School have graciously offered their time to tutor FJH students who need a little extra help academically. Tutoring will happen every Thursday starting October 14th from 4-5pm in the FJH media center. Students will be placed into small groups of 2-3 students per high school tutor. All participating students must be picked up promptly at 5:00.
Virtual Option
Hamilton Southeastern Schools has a partnered with Indiana Online Academy (IOA) to offer a virtual option for students in grades 7-12 who cannot be in an in-person learning environment. Students who attend virtually are instructed via live, scheduled Zoom calls with IOA staff for core classes and work asynchronously in non-core/elective courses. Students are not permitted to participate in any in-person school club, team, or event if enrolled in IOA but may participate virtually if a virtual option exists. Students are still required to come in-person to their home school to participate in state standardized testing (ILEARN, WIDA, SAT, ISTEP, etc.). We are opening registration for students who are currently in-person and wishing to switch to virtual for second semester (beginning in January). If you would like to sign your student up, please complete the brief registration form. Registration will close on Tuesday, November 23rd. Registration link: https://forms.office.com/r/g0T81cXdbE
