Dear HCS Families,
It is hard to imagine that we have only 29 student days left of school…but who’s counting. As we approach the end of another school year, we want to take a moment to express our gratitude for your unwavering support. This has been a fantastic year!
As we prepare to close out the academic year, we would like to share several key dates:
Wednesday, June 12th: Early Release Day - Please note that June 12th will be an early release day for all students. This provides us with an opportunity for end-of-year preparations and planning from 2-4pm.
June 13th: Half Day - On June 13th, we will have a half day of school for students. Dismissal will start at 11:30. Additionally, our 8th-grade graduation ceremony will commence at 3:00 PM on June 13th. Let us celebrate the achievements of our graduating students and wish them well as they embark on the next chapter of their academic journey.
June 14th: Last Student Day (Half Day) - Our last day of school for students will be on June 14th, which will also be a half day. We will have grades 1st-7th Move Up Day in the morning. Dismissal will begin at 11:30. This will mark the official end of the academic year for students.
Once again, we extend our sincerest thanks to each and every one of you for your unwavering commitment to our school community.
Best,
Suzan and Tim
Would you like to attend a HCS fieldtrip with your child or volunteer to read in their classroom? If so, now is an excellent time to fill out your paperwork for clearance through the District. Once your paperwork is received, please allow 5-7 business days for approval. Once approved, the clearance is valid for 1 year. If you have not filled out the forms and been approved, you will not be able to go on fieldtrips/volunteer in a classroom.

Did you know The State of Vermont helps cover child care costs. Starting on April 7, more families will qualify for tuition assistance based on family size and income. For example, a family of four making $124,800 a year can get help paying for our program. You can find out more about eligibility requirements online.

I am committed to finding a home for Lilly from Sweden because I think she will fit well in Vermont. The following excerpt is part of the reason why!
"I find such joy in seeing new surroundings, learning about foreign cultures and meeting new people. Nature have always enticed me too, I have grown up in a family where we value the environment alot and its where I've spent most of my time growing up. My mom works with forestry and we have always lived outside town near nature. I appreciate nature a whole lot and I enjoy activities like hiking and walking."
So what are you waiting for? If you're ready to open your home and heart to an amazing international student, reach out to me for more information on how to apply. You don't need to have high school aged kids. Several of my most successful student/family matches were with Carol Richman after she retired from HCS. It's never too late or too early to host. It's a matter of finding the right student to fit your family. Let's make this school year one to remember!
