Dear Hale Families,
It was great to have everyone back in the building after the break. Students had fun reconnecting with their teachers and classmates, as well as celebrating Inclusive Schools week. Our staff was proud of the hard work students put forth while taking their math MAP test. It is great to see the growth students are making toward their goals!
This week we want to highlight 3rd grade who created an alliteration project. They worked hard to write a poem about a winter topic of their choice.
Enjoy the weekend with your family!
Sincerely,
Kristina Macnider and Heather Walz
Arrival Reminders
As the weather has gotten colder, we’ve noticed an increase in traffic in the parking lot which is resulting in many late arrivals. If your child is arriving at school after 8:40, please park and accompany your child into the front office to sign them in. Thank you!
