While we are really only half way through our current school year, with scheduling beginning soon for next school year, thoughts naturally drift in that direction. I want to direct your attention to the information in this newsletter related to scheduling for next year. I sent a Skylert message Tuesday evening to households with students in grades 9, 10, and 11 which discussed scheduling and directed your attention to our website. Please make sure to visit the “Course Guide” under the “Guidance” tab to find all of the relevant documents needed for your child’s scheduling. Or you can go directly to the site by clicking on this link: http://www.hse.k12.in.us/HHS/academics/courses.aspx I would also like to draw your attention to some important changes in our publications courses. The publications classes in our school produce our yearbook, newspaper, and TV studio productions. We have already seen major changes to our newspaper, The Orb, which has taken on more or a “newsmagazine” feel. HSETV is becoming a true newscast, in which the students will now develop the content, mostly by means of journalistic-reporting news segments. The content of the newscast will be much more engaging, relevant, and informative to students and staff. These types of productions will take place on Wednesdays and Fridays for the rest of the year. I encourage you to visit this link http://www.hsenews.com/ to find more information about HSE News and see past productions of our newspaper and HSETV. Proud to serve as your principal, Matt Kegley http://www.hse.k12.in.us/hhs Page 2 Freshman Center 12001 Olio Road Fishers, IN 46037 Main Office 317-594-4390 Hamilton Southeastern High School 13910 East 126th Street Fishers, IN 46037 Main Office 317-594-4190 Attendance Office 317-594-4195 Guidance Office 317-594-4193 Royal Review Jan/Feb 2015 General School News Look What You’ve Done! The Hamilton Southeastern Schools Foundation (HSSF) raised over $17,000 in the first #GivingTuesday campaign to benefit HSE Schools. The campaign also reached targeted “friendraising” goals with hundreds of messages and compliments shared with teachers, schools, and staff. Attention now turns to putting those funds to work for maximum student impact. This year, the Foundation will focus on programs that will support elementary literary, secondary STEM, and district wide diversity efforts. Follow HSSF on Facebook and Twitter or online at www.hsefoundation.org to see your investment in action! Staff Dress Up Days - Fun for ALL! During Finals Week, staff had some fun with dress up days.

On Friday, Jan. 23 from 6:30 until 8:30 p.m., participants ages 10 and up will weave together a piece of art using string and nails. Don’t believe it’s possible?
