CHROMEBOOK/IPAD CARE-IMPORTANT
Parents, please remind your students that Chromebooks and Ipads are District property. Students MAY NOT put stickers on the devices. You must maintain the device and keep it clean. No water or food should be near the device. If the tech cannot repair a broken device or determines it was broken, parents may be charged to replace the device. Please refer to the technology agreement you signed when you completed online registration.
IMPORTANT!!!MAP TESTING FOR STUDENTS IN GRADES 2-6
We currently do not have any extra Chromebooks to loan.
Thank you
PARENT REMINDER
School starts AT 8:00AM. We are having a large amount of Tardies every day. This affects students AND teachers. PARENTS MUST WALK THEIR CHILD INTO THE BUILDING WHEN THEY ARE TARDY AND GIVE THE OFFICE THE REASON FOR THE TARDY. Please get your child to school on time. Students may enter the building starting at 7:45 AM.
OUTSIDE RECESS IN THE WINTER
Thank you for your help,
IMPORTANT!!!
Please send a filled reusable water bottle with your student. We only have ONE water fountain in the building right now while we wait for the installation of new drinking fountains. If you have more than one reusable water bottle, send two. Please remember to label your child's water bottle with their name also. It's much cheaper to buy ONE reusable water bottle and just refill it, rather than buying a case of throw away water bottles. It's also better for the environment.
BOYS PANTS NEEDED
Thanks,
Student Drop Off / Pick Up Safety
Thank you for your cooperation and support.
Librarian's Corner
Love My Library is a fun and exciting way to build a home library while helping us raise money for our library. Our fundraiser starts NOVEMBER 8th 2021.
We know you have limited time, but want the best education for your child. That's why we hope everyone will activate their reader's account as soon as possible. This is where your reader can earn FREE Book Bucks.
We encourage you to activate your reader's account today by going to https://www.lovemylibrary.com/reader-signup?library_code=357-asryTK
Thanks so much,
Harriet Gifford Elementary School
LOST AND FOUND
The HG Lost and Found Bin is full full full. Please check to see if your child is missing a sweater, coat, jacket, water bottle or lunch box. These items will be gathered up and donated to Goodwill by Christmas Break if not claimed. And as a reminder, it's always a good idea to write your child's name on his/her water bottle or lunch box. Thank you.

Orders will be delivered to your child at school. Students are encouraged to wear their HG SPIRIT WEAR on Fridays.
