Dear Families,
Today is the last day before our spring break next week. I can feel the excitement in the children and the staff. As the weather warms, I love seeing everything greening up and the beginnings of spring flowers popping through the soil.
We have had a busy month since my last letter. Our hearing and vision screenings were completed as well as a visit from the ‘Tooth Fairy’ for those who signed up to be seen by the dental hygienist. Our Pi day and Cherrydale fundraisers were completed and were very successful. Thank you to those who participated. (If you did not see the article from the Pi Day in the Advertiser Democrat, look it up. There was a great video embedded.) Parent/Teacher conferences were held and some staff participated in a PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) Conference. The second trimester progress reports went home and a few classes have gone on field trips.
A few weeks ago, an updated Covid letter came out from our Health Department. There is a link to that letter below as well as upcoming dates to note.
Coming up we are celebrating Staff Appreciation Week. Jamie Smith, parent and former HSS nurse, is helping organize the week. If you would like to help donate, please contact her at 440-7478. We are also recognizing Wishbone Day to support a student. This is on May 6. A flyer with more information will be sent out when we return from our spring break. Kindergarten registration will be happening soon. If you have a child ready for kindergarten or know of a local family with a child of age, please contact us.
Finally, I have started a new Facebook page for the school after many weeks of trying to find the owner of the existing page. Our new page has a hawk as the profile picture. If you prefer to get news about the school from FB, be sure to follow us on the new FB page.
I hope your kids have a great spring break and that they get outside! I will be spending some time at the beach.
Best,
Jamey
