Dear Hayshire Families,

For the month of September, our special teachers and specialists had the honor of selecting Hayshire Students of the Month. Congratulations to Amori Selby from third grade and Kelsie Katherman from second grade for receiving this recognition. Both children demonstrate values such as perseverance, character, community, and excellence! Amori and Kelsie were recognized at Monday's school board meeting!

Monday, September 16 is our official kickoff day for the SchoolStore! Once again, we are partnering with SchoolStore to raise funds to purchase additional tools and resources for Hayshire. Information packets with specific directions will be sent home with your child on Monday. All children will receive a prize just for participating in the sign up. No purchase necessary!

Constitution Day is celebrated on September 17 each year to celebrate the anniversary of the signing of the Constitution. On Tuesday, September 17, we will wear Red, White, and Blue to celebrate at Hayshire!

Wednesday, September 25 is Picture Day at Hayshire. Paper copies of the order form will be sent home today. Order forms may be returned, along with payment, on picture day. Lifetouch is giving families the option to order and purchase their child's pictures online. If you are interested, order at mylifetouch.com. ID: EVT292KJ3

Just a reminder, Friday, September 20 is an early dismissal. Elementary students will be dismissed at 12:30 PM. If your child's dismissal plan is different, you will need to notify your classroom teacher.

Have a great weekend!

Safety and Technology Resources

Central York School District is excited to announce that we have partnered with Linewize by Family Zone, a leading education technology company, to provide District families and students with the highest quality of online safety and digital wellness education.

As members of the Central York Community, you have access to an Online Safety Hub, as well as free parent/guardian access to the Qustodio App, a parental control app that allows families insight and control of their child’s device usage.

Qustodio App

The Qustodio App allows parents access to monitor and supervise their child’s time online. By signing up, parents can monitor their child’s activity on their school-issued device, as well as up to two additional personal devices at no cost.

The app enables parents to:

Receive reports and alerts on your child’s school-time activity
Enable and disable internet access
Receive guidance and tips on digital trends and threats

Access to features on your child’s school-issued device will be effective during non-school hours. Usage on two free personal devices is 24/7. Parents must use the email associated with their Skyward account.

Online Safety Hub

The Online Safety Hub includes helpful parent advice guides, app and game reviews, online safety quizzes, resources, and access to information about the Qustodio App.

Please note that you may receive an invite or email from the Qustodio App. This is an optional service offered to District families.
