In June we recognize Pride Month. Click on link to see the lessons.

For incoming 6th graders entering HMS: Choose a book (fiction or nonfiction) related to the sixth grade theme of heroes. The summer reading assignment will ask you to consider the following questions:

a) What is a hero?

b) Can an everyday or ordinary person be a hero?

c) What character traits should a hero possess?

6th Grade Summer Reading Response Journal

Every summer, we have several new families move into our school area. Starting the school year without knowing any peers is a common source of anxiety for our new students. To help alleviate this problem, we are starting a mentor family program. Current EH families who participate in this program will be paired with a new family that has a student in the same grade. Mentor families will be asked to arrange at least one meet and greet between the two students before the school year begins. Mentor families can also serve as a resource for the new parents, who may have some questions before the school year begins.

If you may be interested in being a mentor family, please fill out the form below. You will be contacted over the summer to confirm interest, if a possible new family match arises. Filling out the interest form does not confirm your commitment. Please remember, there may be more families expressing interest than new families entering our school.

EH Mentor Family Interest Form

Located outside APR. Any articles remaining after June 19th will be donated to a charitable cause.

Save the date for Monday, June 17th for Kindergarten-5th grade field day. Preschool has their field day on a different date and will be contacted by Ms. Shari regarding this.

This is a reminder that students are not permitted to play after school unless a parent or guardian supervises them. As per district policy and the school handbook, students are expected to go directly home at the end of the school day unless supervised by a parent or guardian. After school students are to be supervised by a parent or guardian at all times. I appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
