The Husky Herald

It was great to see so many families at Donuts with Grownups. Thank you PTA for hosting the event! This week is Homecoming Week. Students may wear Hebron High School spirit wear on Wednesday for the homecoming parade and Friday for the Homecoming Football Game. 5th Graders will have the opportunity to walk in the parade. We hope to see you there. I have included maps below to show the areas for parent and community parking. Make sure to take a bag to hold all the candy that will be thrown. The parade will be at Hebron High School.

2nd-5th grade progress reports for the 2nd 3 week period of the 9 weeks are in Skyward under the portfolio tab. If you have any questions, please reach out to your child's teacher.

Dear Families,

I hope this message finds you well! I wanted to reach out regarding some gastrointestinal germs circulating in our community and emphasize the importance of handwashing both at home and at school.

Here are a few tips to help reinforce this practice:

1. Encourage Frequent Handwashing: Remind your children to wash their hands regularly throughout the day, especially after playtime, before meals, and when they return home from school.

2. Model Good Habits: Show your kids proper handwashing techniques, particularly before eating and after using the restroom. Your example is crucial in helping them develop good habits!

3. Make it Fun: Incorporate fun lessons about germs and hygiene into your family activities.

To support you, here are some engaging, kid-friendly handwashing videos you can watch together:

• Song: The Hand Washing Song - A fun tune to make handwashing enjoyable!
• Step by Step: 10 Steps to Washing Your Hands - A quick guide to effective handwashing.

Thank you for your commitment to keeping our families healthy, both at home and at school!

Warm regards,
Kinley Speir, RN

DENCO 9-1-1 Art Contest – 10/6

Denco 9-1-1 is hosting an art contest for children for their Training Calendar for the 9-1-1 dispatchers, and they’d like to use artwork submissions for each month in this year's edition!

Parents can submit the art to PubEd@denco.org, and the prompt is “Draw a picture of a situation where someone needed help and called 9-1-1. Think about how the 9-1-1 responders, like firefighters, paramedics, or police officers, came to the rescue!”

There is an award for the 12 winners. Parents can submit artwork to pubed@denco.org by Sunday, Oct. 6.

If your child will be riding the bus, please download the app. Here Comes the Bus is a bus tracking software tool that allows you to see where the bus is in real time. Our district code is: 29501

• Talk to your child to see if they will buy breakfast or purchase a snack each day. Many students eat at home and then eat in the cafeteria. Snack or breakfast charges accrue and parents are unsure why there is an amount owed. The student meal purchase history access will be helpful to avoid extra charges.

• Student Meal Purchase History: Families can now access the meal purchase history of their student online via Skyward Family Access. To see this information, families will log into Skyward Family Access and click on "District Links" in the upper right. For more information click HERE.

• Menus: Due to supply chain issues, menus are subject to change, and may differ from the calendars below. Please visit lisd.nutrislice.com for interactive menus, nutritional information, and more.

• Food Deliveries (such as Uber Eats, Grubhub, etc. are not allowed)

• Special Dietary Needs: https://www.lisd.net/Page/22853

• Free Reduced Lunch Information: https://www.lisd.net/Page/22804

In Lewisville ISD, the whole child is at the core of everything we do as a district, including our students' mental, emotional and physical health. With counselors on every campus, LISD knows parents want their children to receive an outstanding education, but more importantly, they want their children to be nurtured and cared for beyond just academics.

The Lewisville ISD Counseling and Social Work Department is grateful to partner with you to support the social emotional needs of all LISD students. We believe education on these issues is key to helping our students become happy, successful people.

Please review these flyers describing different social issues our students may face. If you have any areas that we may assist you or your student, please contact your student’s school counselor.

We appreciate the opportunity to work with your students.

If your child forgets their lunch at home, you can bring it to the front office. We can only accept food items from the child's parents/guardians. We will not be able to accept third party food delivery for students. Click on the link below in order to sign up as a lunch visitor. All visitors that do not have identification will not be allowed into the building. https://forms.gle/6Mt9GkxrvM2jqKV36

Volunteers are an integral part of what we do every day in LISD.

LISD uses VOLY, a volunteer management system, to post volunteer opportunities and find volunteers. To volunteer, you will need to create a VOLY account by visiting lewisvilleisd.voly.org. (Please note: do not use Internet Explorer as your browser when using VOLY.) VOLY will send you customized e-mails with opportunities that may interest you for volunteering.

• In order to focus our learning and instruction time with students, all elementary and middle school students will be required to put personal devices/cell phones away in the child’s backpack or designated location from the time they enter the building in the morning until the dismissal bell.

• You can reach your students through their school email address, or by calling the front office.

• If your student needs to reach you, they can send an email or call you from a classroom or office phone.
