Flat Family Weekly News
March 6 - 10
We are up to something good at Hickory Flat!
Happening This Week!
We celebrate Exceptional Students Education! Check out the calendar below for daily themes and options for dressing up.
We will honor our School Social Worker, Ms. Bright, this week! If she has helped you or your family this year, please consider writing her a note of gratitude and encouragement. We are grateful for the work of our incredible team of Social Workers!
Monday: Picture Day (please tell your student to put on their hat AFTER pictures!) We will be taking individual photos and class photos. Class photos must be purchased in advance.
Friday: Early Release Day! Student dismissal will begin at 11:15 a.m. Please complete the form that was sent home to help us prepare. This is also PTO Movie Night!
Saturday: Arts Fest @ Academy for Advanced Studies
Upcoming Events:
- March 15: Vocabulary Parade! This is a fun event! Students are encouraged to choose a vocabulary word, dress up to define their word, and wear a sign with their word and definition.
- March 16 - 17: Wildcat Recess and Wildcat Wonderland will be happening! Due to space limitations on these days, parents will not be able to eat lunch with students on these days.
- March Kindergarten Registration! Please tell your friends to be on the lookout for news and opportunities to get their students registered early! We have some exciting things in store for our newest Wildcats this year!
Let's make this a great week at Hickory Flat!

Behavior Referrals
We have been processing an increased number of behavior referrals for inappropriate physical contact and fighting. Please talk with your student and remind them to keep their hands and feet to themselves, at all times. We do not allow horseplay, "pretend" wrestling, or any other kind of playful act that can be misinterpreted as fighting.
We want all students to feel safe and cared for at Hickory Flat!
Happy Notes Challenge!
I wonder what would happen if each of us wrote a happy note to our child, life partner, friend, bus driver, teacher, or anyone else who impacts your day in a positive way. I challenge you to write one positive note and share it with someone every week in March. Let me know if you complete the challenge and how it felt to do something good to encourage those around you.
Picture Day is TOMORROW: March 6
If you have any questions, you may contact Ms. Tabitha in the Front Office by calling (770)898-0107.
