H.E.S. HAPPENINGS
Parent/Family Edition
AUGUST 2023
Greetings Hopkins Elementary Families,
Welcome to the 2023-24 school year! We are thrilled to have you and your children be a part of our school community. This year, our theme is "Bee Amazing, Be Kind, Bee You," and we are excited to embark on a journey of growth and discovery together.
Our primary goal is to provide quality, standard-based instruction that ensures your child's academic success. We believe in fostering a safe and inclusive environment where every student feels a sense of belonging. We want each child to embrace their uniqueness and shine in their own way.
We understand that your involvement and support are crucial in helping your child reach their fullest potential. Together, we can create a nurturing and empowering learning experience. We encourage you to actively participate in your child's education, attend parent-teacher conferences, and engage in open communication with the teachers and staff.
To keep you informed about the various events and important dates throughout the year, we will be sending out this monthly newsletter. We kindly ask that you carefully review the content and save the dates provided. The newsletter will serve as a valuable resource to keep you up to date with school activities, curriculum updates, and opportunities for parent involvement.
We look forward to building strong partnerships with each and every one of you. Together, we can create a supportive and inspiring learning environment where our students can thrive. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
Thank you for entrusting us with your child's education. Let's make this an extraordinary year!
Warm regards,
Audrey White-Garner, M Ed.
Principal
