Students may wear their Halloween Costumes to Fall Fest on Friday as long as the costumes meet dress code guidelines. Also, parents may send treat bags for other students as long as the candy items are store bought and individually wrapped. Parents or others should not send cupcakes, cookies, and other type items to the school. We are not having Halloween class parties, just snack as part of our Fall Fest activities. Monday, October 31 will be a normal school day for us at HES. Thanks.
Due to the threat of rain over the coming weekend stretching into Monday, the HES Fall Fest has been rescheduled for Friday, 10/28. The Fall Fest is for students only. Parents will be invited to Spring Fling but not to Fall Fest. The Fall Fest serves as a teacher fundraiser event for them to raise money to purchase needed classroom items. The cost is $10 per child which will include a free snack. Students should bring the $10 by Thursday. Additional snacks will be sold if students choose to bring money to purchase them. Most items will be $1. Candy bars will be $2.
Mr. Gary McCarley, Mrs. Nancy Hallman, Dr. Kim Davis, and Mr. Josh Weatherly did a wonderful job presenting their Continuous Improvement Plans at today’s board meeting. We are proud of the progress of each of their schools.
