We are REALLY missing you guys!
We have been waiting (patiently-ish) for our digital "phones" to be working. The HVE staff is eager to visit with you guys and will be reaching out to speak with your family soon (if you haven't heard from someone already)! We can't wait to hear our precious kiddos' voices and are sending all the virtual hugs and high fives your way! Give them an extra squeeze from us!
In case you missed it...
...or Just Want to Watch it Again!
We had a "Care A Van" (caravan) event planned for showing our love for all the students and families of HVE...but the county told us to Shelter in Place. To show that we are respecting the rules in place (part of being a good citizen... shout out to the House of Citizenship), we decided to create a "Care A Video" instead. Though we were disappointed we had to cancel our plan of a neighborhood drive through parade, the HVE staff exhibited OPTIMISTIC thinking as we created the next best thing... a digital HVE hello! We love and miss each and every one of you!

HVE Second Step Lesson 20
I know your access to a printer/ink may be limited. You do NOT need to print Home Links. Instead, just scroll to your child's grade level Home Link and discuss together. If there are any drawing or writing activities that go along with it, please feel free to complete orally or on scratch paper. We want this to be as easy as possible for you to implement at home!
