The Hale Wolf Pack Leveled Up their knowledge and acceptance of autism and diverse learners this week.  Students participated in classroom talks, penny wars, an assembly, bubble ceremony, and a spirit week as part of Autism Acceptance Week.  
The highlight of the week for students was watching Ms. Matustik, Mrs. Murphy and Dr. Kaszewicz get pied in the face as winners (or losers) of penny wars!  Thank you to all that so generously donated to our penny wars fundraiser benefiting the Hale autism program.
In honor of Arbor Day, the Village of Schaumburg planted a tree next to our playground. Third and fourth grade students learned all about the White Oak tree, assisted with planting, and even got a special visit from Mayor Dailly!  It truly was a PEAK moment!
We hope to see many of you at the Hale Interpretive Nature Walk on Sunday!

Parking Lot

To ensure the safety of students, please stay in line in the drop off lane in the morning.  Do not go around or pass other vehicles as this causes a potentially dangerous situation as children are getting out of cars.  Thank you for your cooperation.

Field Day

Attention Hale Parents and Grandparents, we need your help for a fun and successful Field Day.  The date is set for Thursday, May 30, 2024.  We have also scheduled a rain date for Friday, May 31, 2024 – should it rain on May 30, 2024.  Volunteers are needed to help run the various stations.  No experience necessary.  You will receive a handout that day on how to run your station.  Most games are simple and easy to run.
