Our 2nd quarter is off to a fantastic start with many opportunities for connections on the horizon. HES students are looking forward to shopping with their hard-earned PAWS cards next Friday. The HES Staff has created an amazing list of fun experiences for students to purchase with PAWS cards. These are special opportunities to connect with other adults in the building and celebrate PAWS behavior at school. A huge thank you to our staff for making this possible for our students.
The opportunity for you to connect with your child's teacher at Parent-Teacher conference is quickly approaching. More detailed information about Parent-Teacher Conferences will come in a separate message later this evening.
Grand marshal, Fire Chief Herrmann
We have an exciting update regarding our Halloween community parade. I'm proud to announce that Chief Herrmann, of the Hampshire Fire Department, will serve as the grand marshal of the HES Halloween parade. He will retire after 35 years of service to the Hampshire community so we are honored to have him as our grand marshal this year.
The weather forecast indicates there is a chance of rain during the time of our Halloween community parade. In the case of rain, we will not take students outside for our parade, but instead will parade INSIDE the building allowing all students to see everyone else's costumes. We will not be able to accommodate all parents being present in the building for this parade. I understand this is disappointing but with the potential high number of people that the office staff would need to "Raptor" into the building for security, it is not something we can accommodate.
For now, we plan to proceed with our parade as scheduled. If the decision is made to cancel the outdoor parade, I will communicate by 8:30 tomorrow morning. Thank you for your understanding.
HES will host the Scholastic Book Fair during the week of November 18-22. Mrs. Enders has scheduled each class to have a "Preview Day" in which students are able to look at the available books, posters, and other items in order to make a wish list. Each classroom will also sign up for a "Purchase Time Slot" to provide time for students to make purchases with money put into their 'ewallet'.
HERE is more information about the eWallet.
