Dear Hayshire Families,

Thanks to all who have already participated in our SchoolStore fundraiser. Information packets were sent home on Monday. All children will receive a prize just for participating in the sign-up. No purchase necessary. If your family has not participated, there's still time!

This week, we had our Volunteer Orientation Meeting. Volunteers, we are grateful! For those of you who submitted a form, but were unable to attend the orientation, we will reach out to you in the near future.

First Grade had two visitors! Mrs. Bissett from Martin Library AND Clifford met with our first graders! The purpose of the visit was to encourage our first grade friends to join GOAL, Grade One At the Library. Through the GOAL initiative, first graders are introduced to books, special programs, and technology available through a library membership. Information was sent home with our first graders on Thursday.

Second Grade is headed to the pool in early October for swimming lessons! Today, Second Grade had their swimming orientation with Mrs. Weber from the high school. Here is our schedule for lessons...

October 2-8: Knisley, Stremmel, Caufield, Slatt
October 9-16: Hughes, Shuey

Wednesday, September 25 is Picture Day at Hayshire. Paper copies of the order form were sent home last Friday. Order forms may be returned, along with payment, on picture day. Lifetouch is giving families the option to order and purchase their child's pictures online. If you are interested, order at mylifetouch.com. ID: EVT292KJ3

Have a great weekend!

The Qustodio App allows parents access to monitor and supervise their child’s time online. By signing up, parents can monitor their child’s activity on their school-issued device, as well as up to two additional personal devices at no cost.

The app enables parents to:
