Enjoy your week!

I hope you all had an opportunity to view Monday's solar eclipse. Being in the path of totality is certainly a once in a lifetime experience.

While students were home enjoying the day off, teachers were hard at work with some critical PD sessions. All staff were part of a "Heart Safe" seminar where we learned more about recognizing the signs of sudden cardiac arrest as well as what to do in that situation. We also all participated in an Active Shooter/Active Aggressor training given by out local police department. Both of these are things we don't like to think about; but, it is crucial as educators that we be prepared for any situation so we can best keep students and staff safe.

Finally, teachers had time to meet with adjacent grade level teachers to share information about student progress so we can be best prepared for our incoming group of kids and their learning needs.

1. Car riders should exit the building using the front doors.

2. Students should enter the vehicle once it has pulled up to the sidewalk area. If you do not see your student, please continue to move forward so we can keep the line moving.

3. Students should not be walking across the parking lot or the grassy area to get to a car that is not yet to the sidewalk. This causes a significant safety concern!

PBIS stands for Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports.

Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is an evidence-based, tiered framework for supporting students’ behavioral, academic, social, emotional, and mental health. When implemented with fidelity, PBIS improves social emotional competence, academic success, and school climate. It also improves teacher health and wellbeing. It is a way to create positive, predictable, equitable and safe learning environments where everyone thrives.

EVERY RANGER. This phrase is meant to include everyone—every student, every staff member, every graduate and every community member. All of us working together.

EVERY REASON. The primary focus of every school system is the academic achievement of all students. Our staff and, by extension, our community take on the challenge of doing even more for our students. We educate the whole child. Whatever the need, whatever the issue, whatever the REASON we are going to work together and do the best we can for each other.

EVERY DAY. Thank you to our HLSD community for making our students a priority every day, and for always pitching in to help one another.
