Online Registration started April 8th. In order for your child to get transportation and an IPAD right away next year, you need to register them online. To do that, go to the HCCSC website and find the link to Power School for online registration. You will need your login and password for Power School. If you need help with that, or forgot your password, contact Mrs. Cocklin, our secretary, and she can help you. Our goal is to have everyone registered by the last day of school. Go to the website at HCCSC.k12.in.us and click on the registration link. Another option is to click on the QR code.

May 6-10 is Teacher Appreciation Week. Our PTO is planning some special treats for our staff. Please take a minute to send your child's teachers a note of appreciation through email or a short note. Teachers and staff work very hard each day to keep your child safe and help them learn. They spend evenings and weekends planning, grading, and keeping up with all the expectations from the Indiana Department of Education. They spend summers training and preparing their classroom for new students. School Employees are unsung heroes!

All 5th grade students (at least 10 years old) entering 6th grade next fall will need to receive immunizations that have been required by the Indiana Department of Health and our State Legislature. Your student will be required to receive: Tdap (Tenanus, Diptheria &Pertussis), MCV4 (to protect your student against meningitis), 2 varicella (or provide the month and year of chickenpox with your signature), and 2 Hepatitus A vaccines. You may receive these immunizations through your family physician or the local Health Department. They may be reached at 260-358-4831. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Sparks in the clinic.

Andrews annual Field Day will be held on Monday, May 20th. On that day, please make sure your child is dressed comfortably to be outside. They will be running and participating in various stations so they should also wear tennis shoes or other comfortable shoes. It is especially important to send a water bottle to school that day. We cannot put on sunscreen at school so please put that on your child in the morning before they come to school. If you have any questions about Field Day, please contact Mr. Childs, our physical education teacher.
