Dear Hayshire Families,

October is just around the corner. A busy month of learning and fun-filled activities lies ahead!

Hayshire PTO is thrilled to introduced a brand-new Hayshire family event... Stuff-A-Mascot! This fun and interactive activity will take place on Thursday, November 14. It is a great way for families to come together and create lasting memories. For more details, check out this short video! You'll need to preorder your panther mascot supplies by Friday, October 11.

Once again, some of our Hayshire Staff will participate in the Annual CYSD Homecoming Parade. Our crew will feature Favorite Storybook Characters. The community parade around the high school will take place at 6:15 PM. In addition to the parade, the festivities will include food trucks starting at 4:00 PM, a community pep-rally including the Panther Marching Band, and Central Athletic Teams inside Panther Stadium following the parade.

This year, conferences will take place Thursday, October 24 and Friday, October 25. Conferences will be in person at Hayshire! All families will use Skyward to schedule a Parent-Teacher Conference. The Conference Scheduler will open in Skyward beginning Monday, September 30 at 8:00 AM. This will allow you flexibility to select a time. The Parent-Teacher Conference provides a time to meet with the teacher and learn more about your child's progress, academically, socially, and emotionally.

Our Hayshire School Spirit Night is scheduled for Friday, October 11 at Laser Alleys. Tickets include two hours of unlimited glow bowling, shoe rental, and laser tag games! Tickets must be purchased in advance. Wednesday, October 9 is the last day to buy tickets! For more information, see the flyer below.

Thank you to everyone who attended our last PTO meeting. Our next PTO meeting is Thursday, October 3 at 6:00 PM in the library. We can't wait to see you!

Have a great weekend!

As members of the Central York Community, you have access to an Online Safety Hub, as well as free parent/guardian access to the Qustodio App, a parental control app that allows families insight and control of their child’s device usage.

Qustodio App

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:

Access to features on your child’s school-issued device will be effective during non-school hours. Usage on two free personal devices is 24/7. Parents must use the email associated with their Skyward account.

Online Safety Hub

The Online Safety Hub includes helpful parent advice guides, app and game reviews, online safety quizzes, resources, and access to information about the Qustodio App.
