Greetings Hesse Families,

We had a great week back here at Hesse. Our lower elementary students dressed as old people for the 100th day of school and then as Dalmations for the 101st day. It was wonderful to see them having fun in school. Our boys basketball team remains undefeated with three games left! This Thursday is our last home game. Come see what we are doing in our Athletic Department.

Speaking of athletics, join us for Hesse K8 Athletics Spirit Night at the Savannah Ghost Pirates game on February 8th at 7:00 PM! Come enjoy the game and support Hesse Athletics with funds for future gear, equipment, clinics, and more! We hope to see you there!

With the understanding that student behavior is influenced by the way students are dressed and that no student should dress in a manner that is disruptive or has an adverse effect on school activities, the following mandatory uniform standards have been developed. Students are expected to dress in the school uniform during the school day, on field trips, and during school-related activities. Hesse K-8 uniform colors are as follows: hunter green or white uniform shirts; khaki or navy uniform bottoms. Please refer to the SCCPSS Code of Conduct for full details regarding uniform guidelines/expectations.

Additionally, the Dri-FIT shirts sold by our PTA will be accepted as a uniform top. Please contact our PTA for more information.

Safety is our top priority. We need all families to work with staff members to ensure the safety of our students and staff is maintained. Our instructional day begins at 8:15 am. Students arriving at 8:15 am or later will be marked tardy and parents must walk them to the front door to sign them into school.

Students will be assigned a security number and security tags will be given to each family to use during pick-up. Anyone who is picking up a student from campus will need to have the security tag or report to the office with identification.

Please be patient during carpool! The first week or two, the carpool line moves slowly until the students learn the new routine.

Please use the link below to review the Arrival and Dismissal procedures.
