Hello HGSE Family!

We had another great week at HGSE! Our students, teachers, and staff are working very hard throughout the school building. We encourage all of our students to strive towards excellence each and every day and be the best they can be!

Teachers will soon reach out to schedule for our fall parent teacher conferences. A great article is provided below to read over to give you ideas, suggestions, and support as you schedule a time to meet with your child's teacher. With the nine weeks almost completed, your child's teacher will give a great snapshot in how the year is going for your child. This snapshot is an early trajectory of your child's pathway of his/her academic and social progress. We want to celebrate successes and make suggestions in how to even make further improvements for greater accomplishments in the next nine weeks. We hope you will come to meet with your child's teacher when you are contacted. (If you are not able to meet in person, we can certainly meet by phone or virtual).

Bookfair is next week during Parent Teacher Conference Week! Stop by and shop!

Attendance Notes- We miss your child when he/she is not present! Don't forget to submit a doctor's note or a parent note when an absence occurs. We have tried to make it easy for you by providing a parent note form and even a digital form for ease of use. See below for both options, if needed!

PTO is looking for a new Treasurer. If you are interested or know someone that is interested in filling this position, please complete the ballot and return back to school when it comes home in Tuesday Folders.
