Fire Prevention Week
This week the Hobart Fire Department visited Veterans School. Firemen talked to students about fire safety and took the students outside to see the fire trucks. Students learned about the importance of having an escape route and knowing their address. They also talked about smoke detectors and parents checking the batteries in them. The firemen also presented students with an activity book. Our younger students were given firefighter hats and older students received a cup.

We WHEELIE Love Our Bus Drivers!
We have procedures in place to ensure everyone's safety. When visiting the office, you must have a state ID or driver's license along with an appointment. Visitors are always to report to door 1. We also have a drop off table in our main vestibule if there should be a need to drop something off for your child.
Students need a set plan as to how they go home. Please send a note to the office in the event that you are changing their dismissal.
Please remember to check your child's backpack daily. No matter how old they are, it is important you are checking what is being sent home each day. Assignments are posted in Canvas daily.
Please dress your child for the weather. We try to take students outside for recess daily.
Listen for our Wednesday Notable that will go out every week at 5:00 pm and watch for text messages from the program Remind. We will remind you of events, share news, and give you information to help your child be more successful at school.
This includes bringing their charged Chromebook each day. Students need a pair of headphones to keep at school. Please send headphones if you haven't already done so.
Students in grades 3-5 need electronic permission to participate in the Dunes Learning Center Canoe Trip. Please visit https://duneslearningcenter.org/canoe to complete your child's permission form.

We love to show our Brickie Pride at Veterans School. Encourage your child to wear purple and gold on Fridays!
