Dear Parents/Guardians,

We are now less than three weeks away from the end of the school year so we wanted to take a moment to update you on the iPad collection process:

• We will be collecting iPads the week of May 19 (teachers have the schedule of the day your student's iPad will be collected).

• Please ensure your student brings their iPad fully charged to school this week.

• You do NOT need to turn in the brick and cord as they will keep them for next year.

• We will remotely remove ALL passcodes on Monday, May 19 and students should NOT add a passcode to their iPad after that date (this helps us expedite the collection process).

• We will be updating all iPads before the start of the school year next year so if you have any photos or videos you'd like to keep, please ensure you have saved them to One Drive. Here's how.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact kraves@hse.k12.in.us.

Please be mindful of last minute changes.

Monday = Mozzarella Sticks with Green Beans

Tuesday = Mini Corn Dogs with Glazed Carrots

Wednesday = Burgers with BBQ Bakes Beans

Thursday = Pizza with Cheesy Broccoli

Friday = Pancake & Sausage with Tater Tots

Salad = Chef

Bento Box= Stackable Deli (Turkey, cheese slices, fruit, cucumber, flat bread)

All lunches are served with milk, vegetable, and fruit.

This week, we’re giving a big Patriot cheer to our amazing Students of the Week who were nominated for showing outstanding responsibility!

These students went above and beyond by being dependable, making good choices, and taking ownership of their actions — true examples of what it means to be a Harrison Parkway Patriot!

Let’s give a round of applause to these role models for showing us how to lead with heart and responsibility. Keep up the fantastic work — we are so proud of you!

Dear Families,

Next week we will be celebrating Mental Health Awareness Week at HPE. This special week is dedicated to promoting the importance of mental wellness, emotional regulation, and kindness in our school community.

Throughout the week, students will engage in age-appropriate activities designed to:

• Increase awareness about feelings and healthy coping skills

• Encourage empathy, gratitude, and connection

• Practice mindfulness and calming strategies

We encourage you to talk with your child about what they’re learning and practicing during the week! Supporting mental health starts with open conversations at home and school. We will be having theme days to support and celebrate.

Thank you for being our partners in nurturing happy, healthy kids!

Warmly,

Mrs. Williams
