We filled our bucket!!
Congratulations to Rooms K3, K5, K6, 15, and 20 who filled their classroom buckets this week!
Keep up the great work! We have many classrooms who are close to filling their buckets and know that all of our HMS students will keep working hard showing our PAWS expectations every day! When classrooms fill their buckets, they earn a class reward. Some examples of rewards we have seen so far this year: PJ day, Stuffed Animal Day, Fort Day, and extra recess.

It may take approximately one week for the settings to go into effect after the survey is completed. Please note, if you choose to disable YouTube on your child's device, they will not be able to access any teacher assigned videos that may be used in their classroom.

2. Students must be without fever, vomiting or diarrhea for 24 hours before returning to school.
If you have any questions about particular issues or protocols for students who should or should not attend school, Nurse Lynn is happy to answer those for you! She can be reached at 860-763-7502 or LPyrcz@enfieldschools.org.
