Student's Last Day of School May 29, 2025👋

📱Hello Parents:

Scholars have a difficult time concentrating in class as the weather becomes increasingly warm outside. They become antsy, and it makes it challenging for staff to balance curriculum engagement with enjoying the beautiful weather outside. Adding ➕a mobile 📱device to the equation 🟰multiplies the dilemma!

Wireless communication is by scholars is restricted during instructional time and while on school campus! If you need to communicate transportation changes please do them before you leave home. if anything changes, please make them in the PikMyKid App. If you need another form, send a message on the Band App or contact the main office at (219)359-1522. Our top priority is safety and education. Please know that we care that you communication with your scholar; however, we also, want them to have 💯% engagement in class!

Please speak with your scholar about turning in their Cell phone/ Wireless/ Mobile Device when they enter the buildings. They will not bring them into the classrooms to give them so individual staff members of their choice. We have purchased secured locked boxes for scholars to use. Blue for car riders and red for bus riders.

🎉Congratulations to our Staff Members who were voted for by their peers!

Field Day/Report Cards May 28, 2025

Last Day of School May 29, 2025

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?

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.
