Academic UIL Season is here! We are VERY excited about our students having the opportunity to participate in the University Interscholastic League (UIL) A+ Academics Competition.

Each school year, schools create a Campus Improvement Plan in order to ensure continued growth and achievement for students and staff. We are seeking 3-5 parents/community members to attend a brief meeting after school on September 26th as we review campus priorities for the year. If you are interested in serving as a parent or community representative at this meeting, please email Mrs. Brittain.

Volleyball and Football seasons have begun, and we are excited to cheer on our Hawks! Reminders about students who come to spectate:

• Students who attend games to spectate should go home between the end of the school day and the start of the game. The school does not provide supervision for students in the interim. Backpacks need to be left at home.
• Students should have rides ready to pick up at the conclusion of the games. Please communicate with your child to ensure you have a plan for pick-up.
• Our Hays REAL Hawk expectations apply to behavior at games and events.
• Game tickets for all PISD games can be purchased here.

Drivers, please be mindful of the students who are walking or riding bikes to Hays from across Hillcrest. We encourage all walkers and bike riders to cross at Aragon, where our crossing guard is stationed. We appreciate everyone's help and patience in getting students to and from school safely and efficiently.

***Additionally, the south parking lot behind the gyms is for buses only. Please do not use this lot for carpool drop off. This creates extra traffic and makes it difficult for the buses to enter/exit and adhere to route times.

Hawk Bash will take place on Friday, September 13, 3:30-5:30. This fun event is sponsored by PTO and is for Hays students only. We are seeking volunteers! Please use this link to sign up for a time slot. All volunteers must have completed the PISD background check.

• Join PTO! Your membership and partnership help to fund materials, experiences, and celebrations for students and teachers throughout the year!
• Give your child a birthday shout out with a message on the Hays marquee! Details here!
