It's Super Bowl Week, next week! If your team made it through the playoffs, we hope you are excited to cheer them on! None of my teams made it!!
This week is National School Counseling Week! This week our own counselors will celebrate by highlighting ways School Counselors serve the community! Remember you can stay connected to our counselors by visiting their website anytime! Hilburn Counselor's Corner
This Friday, February 11, 2022, is the 100th Day of School for this year! Woo-Hoo! Our Hawks are 100 days brighter! We celebrate in classrooms and across the school. Students are welcome to dress up as if they were 100 years old, or wear something with 100 dots or 100 stripes.
WCPSS VOLUNTEERS
If you need to register as a field trip chaperone or volunteer, you must complete the required WCPSS Volunteer Application. You may do this Tuesday through Thursday from 9:30 am to 1:30 pm. If these times do not work for you, please call our office to make an appointment.
**If your family has specific custody arrangements, please remember the school is a neutral entity can cannot override or intervene in such matters. Concerns related to these situations should be handled through families in advance.
Repeat Reminders
- 💜Valentine's Day is around the corner. While classes may offer options for Valentine's Day activities, you do not have to send in anything. If you choose to, it must be small, pre-wrapped, and nut allergy friendly. Additionally, cupcakes, donuts, cakes, etc are not appropriate. Please do not have deliveries for students sent to the school. Students cannot safely carry glass vases, balloons, etc around the building all day.
- 🍟Food Deliveries and Breakfast: We understand that many students eat in the car in the morning. Students will need to finish breakfast before entering in the classroom. Please know that students cannot accept UberEats or DoorDash at school. This has largely impacted our Middle School Hawks. Students are attempting to order UberEats and DoorDash and then wait outside for their delivery (during class time).
