Ice Cream
Students may purchase only one ice cream per day.
Students may not share food or money at any time.
If parents are purchasing ice cream for the class to celebrate a birthday, please communicate with the teacher. Students who bring money without parent notification will likely not be able to buy ice cream for their friends.
UNIFORMS
We have enjoyed two weeks of theme days! Due to the Vocabulary Parade this week, we return to school uniforms on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.

Student choice of appropriate clothing is allowed each Friday.
Black History Month
A huge shoutout to Mr. Tooke, Ms. Lofton, and Ms. Fleming for leading our school with multiple projects and events during Black History Month. Check out Ms. Sewell's class for winning the ice cream party for coming together to work on a project!
Cell Phones
Students are not permitted to utilize cell phones throughout the school day at Hickory Flat Elementary. This includes when they are in enrolled in our After-School Enrichment Program or while being transported to/from school on the bus. Cell phones should remain turned off and in backpacks at all times.
Cell phones can be great tools for connectivity, but it's their distraction to student learning and varied contributions to unsafe practices that result in violations of the Code of Conduct.
Possession, use, or displaying cell phones without the consent of the school principal during the school day is a violation of the Henry County Schools Code of Conduct. New this year, it is a violation of the Code of Conduct to use a cell phone or other electronic device to film or post images without the permission of the individual being depicted. Students that use social media to promote negative actions such as fighting or bullying can be held accountable through this rule by way of receiving disciplinary consequences. We want to ensure our students stay in compliance with the Code of Conduct and stay connected to their learning.
Please join us in helping your student to understand the appropriate times/places for cell phone use. With your help, this is going to be an exceptional school year! Thank you for your support as we work to ensure our schools are safe and academically focused environments.
