🙌 April Shout-Outs

Mrs. Hyatt's Science Teacher with 8th Graders

Science class must be amazing in middle school because 8th graders are focused and collaborating on a close reading activity. This small group is practicing for their CFA (Common Formative Assessment). This written assessment lets the teacher know if scholars are able to read a text on grade level and determine the main idea and provide supporting details.

Ms. Bullock Reading Interventionist with 7th Graders

Reading Interventionist Ms. Bullock is working with scholars with LLI (Leveled Literacy Intervention) in small groups to increase academic performance. Ms. Bullock is a great asset as a leader and collaboratives to support staff throughout the building.

Ms. Wheeler 3rd Grade Teacher working with 3rd Graders

Ms. Wheeler is working with her 3rd grade students in small group as usual. Ms. Wheeler's classroom is used as a model classroom for small groups due to her excellent CFA proficiency scores, high engagement and organization.

2. ASK YOUR CHILD ABOUT ❓

Discussion Points for at home support for scholars:

How was your day at school?
What were your glows today? (How did you shine today?)
How do you think you can improve tomorrow?
What did you learn?
How can I support you as your parent or guardian?

3. RESOURCES FOR YOUR CHILD 🤗

Is your child struggling with coming to school or with completing homework? Here's how we can help:

Be clear and specific about what is important for your scholar's future. Have resources available at home for scholars to complete their assignments. Connect with the classroom teacher each week via email. Login to PowerSchool to check your scholar's assignments. Contact the main office for more information on PowerSchool. (219) 359-1522. If your scholar is in 4th-8th grade, request a Smart Pass analytics report to monitor how often your scholar is outside of the classroom each day and week. (ie..bathroom, nurses office, water fountain, main office, ISS)
Link to contact info for the school social worker. (Ms. Haywood) khaywood@the-hiat.org
Contact the main office to speak with the Principal, Mrs. Johnson with any concerns that you may have at HIAT. You may make an appointment with the Office Manager. (219)359-1522.
