Hosp Headlines
Thank you to all of you who came to Curriculum Night last night. We had a great turnout despite the pouring rain! Also a HUGE thank you to our PTA and parents who donated to feed our staff last night! That was amazing! Thank you.
Next week is another great week at Hosp. We have a PTA meeting on Monday, Watch DOG Night on Wednesday night, and Jason's Deli Spirit Night on Thursday night!
Curiosity Fair!
The 2nd Annual Curiosity Fair is coming! This year we are doing it a bit differently. We will have one date later this fall and one in the spring for students to share their curiosity with other students at Hosp! See the flyer below!
STOP!T App
Dear FISD Elementary Parent/Guardian,
We are excited to inform you that our school has enrolled with STOPit.
STOPit is an online ANONYMOUS reporting tool designed to deter and mitigate bullying, cyber abuse, and other inappropriate behaviors, consisting of an app and a back-end incident management system for school administrators.
Elementary parents can REPORT incidents to school contacts anonymously.
Messenger can be used to engage in anonymous two-way communication with school contacts.
Both Report and Messenger empower parents to stand up for their children. Elementary parents have the power to help put an end to harmful and inappropriate behavior they see online through social media and other means. They can use STOPit to reach out for help if their child is facing a personal crisis or experiencing bullying, abuse, or are otherwise in need of assistance. Our goal with STOPit is to create safer, kinder, school communities both online and off.
No student information is needed to use STOPit. The only way personally identifiable information will be accessible through STOPit is if a student voluntarily includes it within the content of a report or message.
Both our school and STOPit are committed to protecting the privacy of student data. STOPit is a signatory to the Student Privacy Pledge, spearheaded by the Future of Privacy Forum and the Software & Information Industry Association. You may review STOPit’s Privacy Policy for details, including more information on how anonymous reporting works.
The STOPit link can be found on our campus website.
More information and resources can be found online at stopitsolutions.com.
Survey
Part of the changes at Hosp require us to take a look back at what we were. If you were a parent with us last year, please complete this short (2 min) survey. This feedback is crucial for us. Remember the questions are related to last school year, not this school year. Survey here.
Volunteers
We will start inviting parents in to work with students in October. I will have more information on this soon. However, until then I encourage you to complete your volunteer background check found here. You will also need this if you plan on being a Watch DOGS. Speaking of Watch DOGS please try and attend our kick off on September 12th.
Do you have knowledge related to what we learn about at Hosp?
We would love to hear about it. If we feel your expertise lines up with what we learn about during the year, we MIGHT reach out to you to come to Hosp and share. After all, who better to learn about a topic than an expert on that topic! Click here!
