A Note From the Principals
Thank you for another fabulous week at HES! Our attendance was AMAZING!!! Thank you for coming to school each day. We had such a great week of learning, fun, and celebrating School Custodian Appreciation Day, World Teacher's Day & National Coaches Day. This month is National Principals Month and we'd like to thank all those who have celebrated Mrs. Hammond!
Love,
Jennifer Hammond and Becca Resop
This week our attendance was 96.42% 😁
Campus Attendance Goal is 96%
Reminder...announcements begin at 7:25 and the tardy bell rings at 7:35
Crosswalk Safety
We are so blessed to be in such a wonderful neighborhood that allows so many of our families to walk to and from school. Our fantastic Mr. Sanchez is out every morning by 7 AM to help cross students across Esparanza Dr, however students crossing infont of our driveways are dependent on our drivers to give them the right of way. Please help us keep all of our students and families safe by adhereing to the posted speed limit of 20 mph, refraining from texting and driving, and giving pedestrians the right of way.
Early Morning Drop Off
It has come to our attention that several students are dropped off for school prior to 7 AM. While we love our kids here early and ready to take on their day, there is no staff "on duty" prior to 7 AM. This means that if your student is dropped off prior 7 AM, they are not supervised and left to their own device. Please help us ensure the safety of our students by dropping off at or after 7 AM, or reach out to transportation about the potential of a bus pick up!

PK Donations
Our PreK classrooms have received some amazing new dramatic play areas to help promote communication, creativity, problem solving and so many other skills! As you are out shopping for Halloween costumes, or have any gently used ones at home, that you are willing to donate to our youngest students, it would be greatly appreciated!
FLY
FLY has begun and students are already demonstrating their love for learning! We are so proud of all of our kids and the progress they have made over the years. We can't wait to continue to watch them grow.
9 Week Attendance Incentive
All students who have met our goal of 96% attendance will receive a sweet treat on Oct. 17 during their recess! We are so thankful and proud of all our families progress as we work towards mastering our goal!
