Great News!!
Stockert Youth Center will be sending a bus to Hodgesville Elementary School each afternoon to transport students to SYC for after school care. The little white bus will arrive at HES approximately 2:30 p.m. each school day.

If you are interested in this service, please contact Stockert Youth Center at 304 473 0145

Then let the school know your child will need to ride the SYC bus.

I am excited we are able to offer this service in collaboration with SYC!!

Good Afternoon!
I apologize for multiple emails....I am trying to get all the information out to you so we can be ready to start an awesome year!!

iPad Deployment

Permanent Remote Students - learning at home 5 days per week - You may pick up your child's iPad at Tennerton Elementary School on Thursday, September 2 and Friday September 3 from 12 - 3 p.m. Ms. Drake has sent out information about how to do this. If these times do not work for you, please email Ms. Drake at jdrake@k12.wv.us to make other arrangements.

We DO want these families to stop by our Open House on September 2 from 10 - 2 to pick up a box of food, meet your teacher, and get your gift bag.

PK Students who are permanent remote will receive their iPads later. Details will be forthcoming.

Blended Remote Students - learning at school 2 days per week and at home 3 days per week -

iPads will be distributed on the 1st day your child is in school at Hodgesville with their teacher. A letter was mailed to every family stating your child's 1st day.

Prior to this date, please complete the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) below so we may give your child their iPad and teach them how to use it.

I mistakenly said iPads would be available on Sept. 2 at Open House when it should have said iPad permissions. I apologize for the mistake.

Please come to our Open House so you can meet the teachers, get important information about classes, and see our Husky Mascot!!

All families need to complete the following Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) for your child to receive an iPad. Families must agree to all aspects of the policy to receive the iPad for your child.

12:30 p.m. – 2:30 p.m.
Hodgesville Elementary School
How it works: Parents load up your children and come to HES. Enter the parking lot near the fence / house. Think of it as a reverse parent pick up route. Drive around to the building and you will go through the loop and exit near the office. Our staff will be around the route waving to all of you! Signs are welcome from our students. We hope to see you there!!
PS – It is Teacher Appreciation Week…. A thank you sign would be great!

Alternate Plans to Recognize Our Students
With the month of May quickly approaching and lots of unknowns about school, our staff wants to make sure our 5th graders receives the special recognition they deserve as they complete their elementary education!

So, we have a couple of projects in the works to celebrate our 5th graders.

1. We would like for our families to create a display about their child and send us a picture. It can be a door decoration, a display of photos, etc. --------------- be creative!!!!!

Showcase your child’s elementary school years and the Husky pride!!!!

Send your picture to faith.jones@k12.wv.us by April 30, 2020.

We are going to have the photos enlarged and display them in the windows of our office and lobby so everyone can stop by and see our Class of 2020.

2. Mrs. Butcher and Miss Jones are working on garden flags to display in front of our school honoring our 5th graders.

3. Students always make graduation caps. Once we know the plan for May, if we are not in school, we will make a plan for the caps to be made.

4. Please email a baby photo and a kindergarten photo of your child to Mrs. Phillips. These will be used to create a slide show so we can see our 5th graders growing up.

Email to jlphilli@k12.wv.us by April 30, 2020.

ALL Students

If school does not resume in May, we will make plans for recognition ceremonies for each grade level as well as an opportunity once we can gather in larger crowds for students, teachers, and families to get together and celebrate the school year!
