Hey HES families!! We did something to try and help out for the next couple of days. We have put some food bags in the library book box outside of the school and at the community building in the blessing box. We ask that you only take what you need so it can help as many families as possible. Our next goal is to get our very own blessing box to be at school but wanted to offer something for now. We made 50 bags thanks to the HES staff and their families!!

Good evening families!!! As we look ahead to next week and students returning one thing coming up is our mid year IReady Diagnostic Assessment. Please see the attached flyer for some tips to do at home, testing tips to share with your student and testing schedule. While we are just coming back from break we are encouraging families to have discussions with your students about doing their best! We really want to see what our students can do to their best potential! Dis you know that by reading to your child every night even for 10 minutes can significantly benefit their development by improving their language skills, expanding their vocabulary, stimulating their imagination, fostering a love of reading, building a strong bond with you, promoting better sleep, and helping them develop empathy and critical thinking skills. We are planning a pep rally prior to testing to ecnourage students to do their best (weather pending) and a celebration rally to acknowledge those students who show growth!
