Hawk Happenings: Parent Newsletter

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Welcome back! We hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving break filled with joy and gratitude. As we return, we are ready to refocus on learning and making the most of this season together.

This month, we are emphasizing the character trait of humility. Learners will explore what it means to be humble, to value others, and to show kindness in their actions. We encourage you to discuss this trait at home and celebrate moments when your child demonstrates it.

Thank you for your continued support, and let’s make this month a great one!

Warm regards,

Mrs. Smith

Congratulations on being named the St. Helena Early Learning Center Learner of the Year!

Keep shining bright and striving for excellence—this is just the beginning of all the great things you’ll accomplish!

On Monday, December 9th, we will celebrate Profile of a Graduate Day with a focus on civic-mindedness. Learners will participate in engaging activities such as creating classroom jobs, role-playing as community helpers, drafting a classroom constitution, and holding a class vote to learn about teamwork, responsibility, and the democratic process.

Ask your child about their experiences—we’re excited to see them grow as thoughtful, engaged community members!

Starting Monday, December 9th, learners will take the DIBELS literacy screener, which helps identify reading strengths and areas for improvement. This assessment guides targeted support and shapes strategies to enhance learner success.

Please ensure your child gets plenty of rest and arrives on time. Your support is key to their success!

We’re excited to share that Lena’s Closet will be available throughout December to provide clothing and essentials to learners in need. In addition, we will host our first monthly event on hygiene, offering resources and tips to help learners feel confident and healthy.

If your child could benefit from Lena’s Closet or the hygiene event, please complete this form. All inquiries are confidential.
