Principal's Message
Happy Friday!
International Night - I hope to see everyone this evening at our International Night! With 17 countries to visit and engaging cultural performances, it should be a great time! Our International Night will take place from 5:30 to 8:30 here at Hoffman.
Read-A-Thon - Our Read-a-thon was a huge success! I want to thank Julie Young and the PTA for all of the behind the scenes work and organizing. Between Henking and Hoffman, our students collectively read for 201,009 minutes and raised over $11,000 over the course of the Read-a-thon!! Way to go! This afternoon, we also announced the class in each grade level that had the highest average of minutes read per student. 3rd - Ms. Hanna, 4th - Mr. Vitacco, 5th - Ms. Caplan Pierce.

Drop Off and Pick Up Notes (Repeated from 1/17 Hum)
- When dropping off and picking up your students, please be mindful of the neighbors that live near Hoffman. I have had a few families reach out to let me know that cars are parking in front of their driveway.
- In the morning, I've noticed that the car lane has been backed up more than usual during drop off. With the cold, it appears that many families are waiting until they get to the very front of the line to have their students get out of the car. If we are only dropping students off one at a time, this causes the drop off line to go a lot slower. Instead, I'm asking for families to consider letting your students out if you are one of the first 6 cars in line. With six cars unloading at once, the car line should be more efficient. I created a map with a "drop off area" highlighted to illustrate this request.
Yearbook Cover Contest Deadline February 27th
Do you have a student who is creative and full of school spirit? The HE/HO Yearbook Committee is accepting entries to the Yearbook Cover Contest! Winning artwork will be displayed in the 2024-25 Henking and Hoffman yearbooks.
All kindergarten through fifth-grade students may participate. Entries must adhere to the following rules:
- Artwork MUST be original, hand drawn by the student and not copied, traced or computer generated. Exception: If a student wants to use the school logo in their artwork, they may cut and paste or trace the school logo onto the paper.
- Artwork must be prepared on a blank 8 ½ x 11-inch piece of white copy paper.
- No paper with lines or graphics.
- Artwork must display vertically, not horizontally.
- Colored pencils and markers work best.
- Use the space on the paper effectively. Have a central component and try to fill the page.
- Use appropriate words and imagery.
- Write the student’s and homeroom teacher’s name on the back of the entry in pencil.
Please have your student bring their entry to school where it will be submitted to the front desk staff. The overall winners will have their artwork displayed on the front cover of each 2024-25 yearbook.
