What's Up Next?
Good Day HES Family & Friends!
Thank you all for a great week at HES last week! We appreciate our DCS Family and community partners that visited our classrooms last week to read to all of our students. This definitely helps our students appreciate the joy of reading more when a story is being read to them by caring individuals that support our literacy efforts. Thank you also to our parents that have completed your Parent Conference with your child's teacher. If you have not had an opportunity to meet with your child's teacher, you still have time. You can complete your conference in-person or through teleconference with your child's teacher. Please try to complete these as soon as possible so that you know where child stands academically, as well as with their attendance and overall progress this year as a student leader. Also, remember, to "Don't stop believing!" Our students are making progress this year and we want to keep pushing them towards success.
We want to thank those students and parents that participated in our local Leprechaun Contest last week. All of our kiddos did a great job! Congratulations to Serenity Trimmings (3rd Grade girls' overall winner) and Jaden Carswell (1st runner-up 3rd Grade boys')!!! Please see a few captured pictures below.
We hope to see you this week at our Spring Title 1 Stakeholder Input Meeting, as well as our 3rd Academic Parent-Teacher Team (APTT) meeting this Thursday evening beginning at 5:00 p.m. This event will allow parents a chance to share with us on ways we can continue to improve at HES, as well as gather some resources and strategies to help with your child's literacy skills at home in our journey towards success for all students. We will distribute our 3rd Nine Week Report Cards on this evening as well. We hope to see you there!
Lastly, if your child has been absent for any reason and you have not submitted written parent or doctor's excuses, please be sure to submit to your child's teacher. We thank you for your continued support of our students and school.
