Hello Hazelbrook Families,
Each week in Community Meetings, students engage in a curriculum called Character Strong. These activities are designed for students to talk and partner in community groups to build social skills, learn about social-emotional skills, and find ways to make a better community. What we see from kids these days is an increased need to learn how to talk and treat others well. Kids have grown numb to hurtful language and treating others badly. We encourage you to talk with your kids about being kind and caring individuals. We teach students at Hazelbrook what it means to be safe, responsible, and kind. We hope that you will share values with them that promote this within your children. We value you, and the partnership we have in helping to educate and raise these kids.
Outdoor School Information
Outdoor School is March 14 ~ 17. Students have been assigned to a camp and you should have received paperwork about Outdoor School from your child's science teacher. If you have not seen this, please ask your student about it. You can reach out to your student's science teacher or the school office if you need assistance with getting these documents.
We have a Parent Information Night for Outdoor School coming on February 27th at 5:00pm. We will have someone from the Outdoor School program to present information about Outdoor School and answer your questions for the up coming trip.
Please return all the needed paperwork as soon as possible, and come to the Parent Information Night if you still have questions that need to be answered.
Se acerca la escuela al aire libre. Los niños han sido asignados a un campamento y usted debería haber recibido documentación sobre la escuela al aire libre del maestro de ciencias de su hijo(a). Si no ha visto esto, pregúntele a su estudiante al respecto. Puede comunicarse con el maestro de ciencias de su hijo(a) o con la oficina de la escuela si necesita ayuda para obtener estos documentos.
Tenemos una noche de información para padres sobre la escuela al aire libre el 27 de febrero a las 5 pm. Alguien del programa de la escuela al aire libre presentara información sobre la escuela al aire libre y respondera a sus preguntas para el próximo viaje.
Devuelva toda la documentación necesaria lo antes posible y venga a la noche de información si todavía tiene preguntas.

HMS PSO Bottle Drop Program
The PSO now has a Bottle Drop account, and we need your help! Simply stop by the HMS front office to pick up a blue Bottle Drop bag. Take the bag home, fill it up with refundable bottles and cans, then take it in to any Bottle Drop return site to donate directly to the PSO.
The QR code on the bag tells the Bottle Drop staff to open your bag, count all the cans/bottles, and deposit the money straight into the HMS PSO Bottle Drop account. If you have any questions, please contact the PSO at hmspsopresident@gmail.com.
Thank you for helping us support the students at HMS!
