Volunteers play such an important role at HCE! If you wish to volunteer please stop by the office and fill out a volunteer application online or click on the "Links" section of this website and locate the appropriate website. Upon successful completion of a background screening I will contact you to set up a day and time to volunteer. If you wish to volunteer to help out with projects from home please contact me. Your help is always appreciated!Back to Top
Can my child bring water and a snack to school?
Students are permitted to bring water bottles to school. The water bottle must have a sport top though so that it may close in order to prevent spills. Snacks are completely optional. Students will have a chance to eat a healthy snack during their AR reading time (about 10:30AM). Parents are responsible for sending a snack with their child if they feel one is needed. Please do not send cookies, chips, etc. Pretzels, fruit, veggie sticks, etc. make wonderful mid-day snacks!Back to Top
