Welcome Officer Jeremy Williams
Linden Community Schools and the Linden Police Department have joined forces to place a School Resource Officer in Hyatt Elementary and Linden Elementary Schools. As outlined by Mr. Ciesielski, "the School Resource Officer (SRO) will collaborate with school administrators, faculty, students, and parents to ensure the schools are a safe place for students to learn. The SRO will be a part of the school community which they serve. It is our goal that the SRO becomes a dependable, appreciated member of the staff whom students, parents, and school staff can come to for advice, support, and safety. The Linden Police Department and Linden Community Schools want the SRO to be seen by our students as a positive role model who is there to help with day-to-day support and education during regular school hours, after school, and at off-campus school activities. The SRO will also act as a deterrent against crime and acts of violence. The SRO’s main responsibility is educating and protecting students and staff from threats of violence."
As you see Officer Williams, please help us in welcoming him to our school family!

Martin Luther King Day - Monday, January 16th
There is no school on Monday, January 16th in observance of the federal holiday recognizing Martin Luther King Jr.
Semester Ends and Report Cards
The second marking period is coming to a close on Friday, January 13th. We appreciate everyone's efforts with supporting our children's academic and social emotional progress. Our teachers will be compiling information to complete report cards the following week with the intent of sending report cards home on Friday the 20th. Please reach out to your child's teacher with any questions.
Dress for the Weather
We realize it's January, but the weather continues to surprise us! Freezing temperatures, snow, then sunny skies and 50 degree temperatures. Winter should be coming...soon. In the meantime, please make sure your child is prepared for the elements. Hats, gloves, warm coats, snow pants, and boots are all essential regardless of the changing weather patterns. It's always easier to have clothing you don't need for recess then it is to go outside wishing you had another layer of protection from the elements. If you are in need of winter gear, please contact the office. We do have some donated items on hand.
Popcorn Updates
Popcorn is for sale twice a month on Fridays and costs just a quarter a bag. Our wonderful parent volunteers make some of the best popcorn in Genesee County and the proceeds are donated back to a different classroom each week to help support classroom needs. Thank you everyone for your support and enjoy that delicious popcorn!
SOAR Expectations
We are continuing to SOAR at Hyatt as part of our district mission to support a positive culture in our schools! Our goal is to teach desirable behaviors that will serve our children well everywhere in our community and beyond! Throughout their day we focus on Staying Safe, Offering Kindness, Acting Responsibly, and showing Respect. The children are recognized individually with SOAR tickets and weekly through grade level drawings with donated prizes from our supportive P.A.L.S group, McDonalds, and Mancinos. This is a community commitment and something we are proud to support.
Volunteers
If you are interested in volunteering at the school, please contact your child’s teacher. We often are looking for an extra set of hands both in and out of the classroom. All volunteers are required to complete a background check before they can be approved to volunteer in the school. Please let us know if you are interested! Thank you!
