It is always a pleasure sharing and celebrating with students and their families about all of the fantastic things their students are doing here in our building to show they are Hawk Heroes. We celebrate their kindness, respect for others and abilities to persevere even when things are challenging. This week we also acknowledged a few students who volunteer their recess time to help Mr. Weiss organize our library and help other students with their learning! This building is full of amazing kids!

Thank you to everyone who volunteered and donated to our Mardi Gras Someone Special Dance! It was a wonderful evening, and everyone had so much fun!

Our next big event is our Fun Run in May. We are still looking for local businesses to sponsor. Please see the flyer below if you know of any local businesses who would be interested.

School event calendars and breakfast/lunch calendars will go home in student home/school connection folders at the start of every month. Please ensure that you check your student's backpack for flyers, forms and important school news regularly.

As we have mentioned before, it is important to ensure that your students are ready for recess each day. It is helpful to dress in layers and ensure that they have a warm coat as the colder days and winter months approach us. We will have outdoor recess as long as it is not raining and as long as the "feels like" or windchill is at least 25 degrees Fahrenheit.

We have created the A- Z Reference Guide which includes building protocols and procedures for families to note. Please read over this document as it includes pertinent information regarding our building expectations.

If you missed the email that went out regarding reminders about the morning drop-off routines, please take a moment to review them below. Translation of this document can be viewed by clicking the image below.

Your student's attendance is very important. The more time spent in school learning, the more academic progress and success students can make. Not to mention, it's fun to be with friends, learning, growing and playing together. Building good habits and routines for coming to school will help create a solid foundation for your students educational journey.

It is important to note that students are deemed Chronically Absent by the state when they reach 18 days out of school in a year. This includes both excused and unexcused days as it tallies the total number of days a student is out of school. It is still important to communicate reasons for absences, so please continue submitting doctors' notes when applicable. Communication from families helps us have a better understanding of absences and allows us to better support students and families. We will continue to communicate with families any updates regarding our attendance records and we appreciate your continued support.

As stated in the student handbook: While students are granted the privilege of Chromebook use, both families and students bear responsibilities in its care and usage.

Hello Hyman Fine Families,

It is that time of year where we typically see an increase in illness, and we would like to take an opportunity to remind parent/guardians of the importance of having up-to-date contact information at the school for us to reach you in a time of need.  in addition, we are asking that you have additional emergency contacts that are available to pick up the child if needed. 

If the nurse calls for the student's dismissal, it is standard practice for the dismissal to occur within the hour.  Thank you in advance for your support so we can continue to provide the best care for all students.

Cold and flu season is upon us. In the graphic below you will find helpful tips and guidelines for addressing illness symptoms. When to send your child to school, keep them home, or even seek medical attention.

Additional note:  Please pack a change of clothes in your child's backpack for any unforeseen circumstance
