Dear HBB Families,

Happy November! Please be reminded that this weekend is daylight savings and the clocks will fall back by one hour on Sunday, November 3rd at 2 am. Although we gain an hour, this time change is an excellent opportunity to reestablish your child's bedtime routine, ensuring students obtain a good night's sleep and are ready to excel in school. Please remember that next week, Tuesday, November 5th is a professional development day and there is NO SCHOOL for students. Also, next Friday, November 8th, we have our annual Harvest Big Blast! We hope to see you there (flyer below)!!

It was a fun and festive week this week at HBB; check out and enjoy the photos below.

Wishing those celebrating Diwali a very happy and safe holiday. Have a great weekend!

Regards,

Ron Sanborn

Please be reminded of the following:

Drop off - Morning drop off is between 8:40 and 8:50am and is a rolling drop off. If you arrive before the doors open at 8:40am, please make sure your students stay in your vehicle until the doors open and drop off beings. Please also be advised that there is absolutely NO IDLING and all vehicles must be TURNED OFF!! The Middleborough Police Department will be enforcing this rule.

Walkers - The school doors do not open until 8:40am, therefore, all walkers should not be arriving to school prior to 8:40am, as there are no adults available to supervise your children until that time. Administration will be contacting the parents of walker students who are continuously arriving before school opens.

Pick up - The back gates open for afternoon pick up prior to school ending so please keep this in mind while you are waiting for pick ups to begin at 3:20pm, as it can be quite distracting for the students in the classrooms facing the back of the school. Please stay in your car until the doors open for pick up and please, NO IDLING!! The Middleborough Police Department will be enforcing these rules.

Thank you for your help in these matters!!

We can't wait to see what your child can build!
