Something to Yelle About

ANOTHER PHENOMENAL

WEEK IN #HAYNation!

Hello from the Yelle.

Another great week in #HAYNation! We had Read Across America days, the STEAM Showcase, and so much more! So many impressive things going on!

As I try to do each week, I use the big picture above to tell the story of the week in pictures for us here at the Yelle.

This week the Big Picture above has Mr. Haskell coming into Mr. Chu's class talking heat, our Unified Hoopers, a couple pictures from the STEAM Showcase, some smiling faces, and our #PositiveSignThursday reminding all of us that Spring Is (eventually) Coming, and we need to Spring our clocks ahead an hour.

These and the other pictures below in and around the classrooms really do relay a story of the incredible accomplishments our students and teachers achieved this week. Please check them out below and all over our Instagram feed to help to tell the tremendous story we are writing this year.

*Note that Thursday, March 20th is an Early Release Day with an 11:40AM dismissal for all Yelle students to accommodate for conferences.

Conference sign-ups will go out directly from your child's teachers on Tuesday, March 11th.

The purpose of the conferences is to provide an opportunity for our teachers to share current information about your child’s student growth, and to provide guardians with a chance to ask questions.

Conference times are less than ten minutes long. Conferences are typically just for adults but kids may wait in the hallway with parents/guardians.

Our HAY PTO will also have our Spring Scholastic Book Fair open in the Library for you to check out and purchase books. 5th Grade students will be going to the Book Fair, on Tuesday, March 18, during the school day. 4th Grade students will be going on Friday, March 21, during the school day.

We look forward to seeing you at the Conferences. Please be on the lookout for more information here in next week's Newsletter and on ParentSquare.
