Dear Hayshire Families,
Mother Nature threw us a curve ball and we started our week with two Flexible Instruction Days. Thank you for being flexible during these days when our district leaders are having to make difficult decisions. Safety of students, staff, and community is always our first concern. I want to give a shout out to our maintenance and custodial crews who worked long hours to make sure our facilities are safe.
On Wednesday, Reliance reached out to Hayshire. Due to current lack of drivers, they will need to split students from Bus #28. Students from #28 will split between Bus #6, #13, #35, and #50. This change will begin Monday, January 13. On Thursday, Mrs. Musone and I met with students from Bus #28 and went over the changes. Students received an information sheet. Families can also check Skyward for new pick up and drop off times. These students will wear bus tags for the week of January 13. If you have any questions, you are welcome to call the Reliance Transportation Office at 717-255-0416 or the Hayshire office at 717-846-6789, extension 1903.
Buck A Book flyers were sent home earlier this week. The Buck A Book Reading Program encourages students to love reading and to participate in community service by supporting free adult education at York Literacy Institute. Students read books, get sponsorships and earn family activity prizes from local vendors! The Buck A Book Program has been inspiriting generations of readers for 33 years!
The new year is a great opportunity to revisit the school rules. On Thursday, we had a grade level assembly. First grade read A Little Spot of Responsibility: A Story About Making Good Choices by Diane Alber. In addition to enjoying some cool songs, we reviewed the Stop Think Strategy with Mrs. Wiltshire. Next week, we'll meet with kindergarten, second grade, and third grade!
Have a great weekend!
Mrs. Thomas
