Greetings Hesse Families,

We had a great week at Hesse. The students enjoyed the themed days of Red Ribbon Week. The book fair was visited by many students. We love to see them purchasing books to read at home! We also had a great turnout at our community partner’s Trunk or Treat on Saturday.

The Fall Book Fair has arrived but parent volunteers are needed to help run the fair during the school day. Join us for Family Night at the Book Fair on Tuesday, October 29 from 3-6PM. Visitors can enter through the bus ramp door.

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.
