A Note From the Principal
Hello Hemmenway Families!
May is the month for celebrating all that our Tigers have accomplished during the school year! We have seen so much growth in our students academically and behaviorally. We look forward to our Spring Choir Concert, along with 5th grade and Kindergarten Graduation ceremonies. This is also the season of celebrating the hard work of our teachers and staff for pouring into our Tigers every day.
Help us finish the year strong by meeting our campus goal of 97% attendance this month. Ensuring your students come to school on time at 8:45am, and remain throughout the entire school day until 4:10pm will help us get there.
Thank you for helping our Tigers SHINE!

Lunch Visitor Updates
This year we will have two days for lunch visitation - Tuesdays and Fridays! We will continue to use the registration link to sign-up to make the process smooth when you come to enjoy lunch with your student. We will have enough spots to ensure you and your students can sit together on the stage. You will be able to register up to 2 visitors per student for no more than 2 lunch visits per month. This ensures more parents can share this time with their students.
