November House Meetings
Check out the great pictures from our November House Meetings! Thanks to the PTO for supporting our House system, which is already making a positive difference at Hayes. We also appreciate the district for providing three new TVs to showcase students earning house points. If you're here for holiday parties, take a look! Our teachers and staff have been fantastic, dressing up and making these meetings fun. We can’t wait for our next house event after the break!
Scholastic Book Fair
Social Emotional Learning - December/January - Social Awareness
Relationship skills are needed at every stage of life. During the months of December and January, we'll pay special attention to how we communicate, manage conflict and collaborate with each other. Lessons will cover topics such as fairness, respect, and friendship with activities geared to students' developmental level.
