Dear Hallinan Families,

Even though we only have four days of school left, there is a lot going on here at Hallinan! Make sure to look at the 'Save These Dates' section and the '5th Grade Celebration' section for details and updated information. And, don't forget, our final Hal Hangouts for the year are tomorrow at 11:45 am for K-2 and at 12:15 pm for 3-5.

With summer just around the corner, make sure to check out the posts from Mrs Doran, Mrs Glumbik and Ms Erspamer for activities to do throughout the break. And click here to see happy summer messages from our staff.

Before I sign off for the year, I want to send out a big thank you to YOU! for your support and flexibility, and for sharing your children with us! It took all of our fabulous Hallinan community - students, families and staff - to get through this unusual year. A special shout-out to our amazing PTO who has been with us throughout this unique time, always at the ready to champion for our students. Their support is greatly appreciated - Hallinan would not be the same without our PTO. Please consider taking on a leadership role with the PTO, you can learn all about it HERE or by clicking on the PDF below!

We all knew it would take big hearts, creative minds and courage to get through this twisty turvy journey of delayed starts, navigating zoom classes, wearing masks and staying socially distant.

Reflecting over the past year, I am so proud of your children and all they have accomplished. I am grateful to call Hallinan home - there is no place I would rather be.

Enjoy these last few days of school, have an amazing summer, and make time for a good book!

Melissa Griffiths

Beginning April 30, LOSD needs parents/guardians of all students enrolled for the 2021-22 school year to log into ParentVUE and review/update your students' information through the Register/Verify tab. This benefits both families and schools by:

• Ensuring that schools have accurate information to reach parents and other contacts in both emergency and non-emergency situations. Verification is important even if your address or contact information has not changed over the past year because the school may have incorrect information from a previous year.
• Confirming parent email addresses for Google Classroom and other applications to participate in your student's learning.
• Enabling distribution of key information in the district's K-12 Family Handbook and Technology Agreement.

If you have forgotten your ParentVUE password, go to the login page, click "I am a Parent," then click "Forgot Password." If you are unsure whether you have a ParentVUE account, contact your student's school. For assistance with the verification process, refer to the user guide on the LOSD website or contact your student's school.
