Please pay special attention to the teacher that you select. We have had many conferences this week scheduled with the wrong teacher. We are cancelling these appointments as we recognize them in the system, and you will receive a cancellation message if this occurs. The video below outlines how to sign-up for conferences. Conferences can also be scheduled by calling the office at 860-763-7501.

We will have our annual Veterans Day Assembly at Hazardville Memorial School on Thursday, November 9th at 10:30am! We would love to have family members of our students attend that are Veterans or active military. It means so much to our students each year to have loved ones attend as honored guests. You are welcome to wear uniforms, but they are not required. Students are encouraged to wear red, white, and blue.

Reserve your seat

A form went home with students for Vets to fill out, but if you would like to email, please email jberubesengupta@enfieldschools.org with the following information: Your name, branch, rank (civilian friendly, no acronyms please), the name of the student you are related to, and their classroom number.

The deadline to reserve your seat is Friday, November 3rd. This invitation is for Veterans and active military only due to space unless a guest needs an escort for medical reasons. Please arrive 15 minutes early with your ID to check in.

What will it look like if you attend?

We will have a special section of seating for our honored guests, and students will perform patriotic songs for them. Veteran Lucien LeFevre, Post Commander of American Legion Post 154, will present the colors, and Enfield Mayor Cressotti will give opening remarks. Guests will be asked to stand briefly or wave when their branch is played in the Armed Forces Medley. Later, your name will be called, and your student(s) will present you with a certificate of appreciation and stand with you for a bit.

It is always a lovely and emotional day. We would love for you to be a part of it.

Sincerely,

The Assembly Committee

Every Friday, our teachers nominate students and staff who have gone the extra mile to display our PAWS expectations. This week, we recognized 18 students and 1 staff member for their achievements. Congratulations to Andrew Taylor, Miss Ciera Menard, Penelope Rodriguez, Daxton Niksa, Honey Daniels, Kyla Simms, Isabella Provost, Maisie Edwards, Sebastian Perez, Leo Senecal, Ivy Vargas, Adriana Rivera, Allie Lazenby, Quinton Danke, Skylar Landry, Brodee Olmstead, EJ Cruz, Tate Worthington, Nate Adams, and Emiliana Figueroa. Keep up the great work everyone!

This week, room 15 read Room on the Broom and completed a Lego build to go along with the story where students had to made a broom to fit all of the characters on.

Congratulations to Rooms 10, 11, 13, K5, and K6 who filled their classroom buckets this week!

Keep up the great work! We have many classrooms who are close to filling their buckets and know that all of our HMS students will keep working hard showing our PAWS expectations every day! When classrooms fill their buckets, they earn a class reward. Some examples of rewards we have seen so far this year: PJ day, Stuffed Animal Day, Fort Day, and extra recess.

PAWS: Practice Kindness, Always Be Safe, Make Wise Choices, and Show Respect

During PAWS Time on Thursday 11/2, students listened to the story “Thankful,” written by Eileen Spinelli, and read by HMS/Whitney teacher Mrs. Hatfield! Classes discussed what it means to be thankful, and each student created their own gratitude journal to bring home.
