Flat Family Weekly News
September 5 - 9
We are up to something good at Hickory Flat!
From the Principal's Desk...
We have only 9 school days before Fall Break begins! Please encourage your students to follow the Wildcat Way (we are respectful, responsible, and safe), keep earning those Daily Points, and focus on our school work!
Additionally, I encourage you to focus on your Self & Family Wellness Plan! I have added our September Wellness Calendar for your consideration below. I challenge you to choose (at least) one activity each week for you and your family to complete together. If you have some great habits already established - I'd like to know that too! Maybe we could add those to future calendars! Send me an email (and even pictures to share!) about how Hickory Flat is "up to something good" at home, too!
I'll see you on Tuesday!

DID YOU KNOW?
Family Resource Center
The Family Resource Center is for YOU! It is full of learning resources that you can use at home to reinforce learning in Reading, Writing, Math, Science, and Social Studies. These tools are intended to be interactive, fun, and many are good for the whole family to enjoy together!
Checking them out is FREE. If you aren't sure where to start, check in with your child's teacher to find out what areas your child might need to practice (or even preview upcoming skills!) Then, call or drop-in during the hours of 8 - 2 and visit with Ms. Middlebrook.
UNIFORMS
Students should wear uniforms Monday - Thursday each week. Click here for more details.
Student choice of appropriate clothing is allowed each Friday.
August Attendance!
From August - April, monthly attendance prizes will be given to all students who have perfect attendance within the month!
To be eligible for monthly prizes, students will have no tardy check-ins or early check-outs within the month.
A different prize will be issued each month.
Students who were enrolled at Hickory Flat by 8/8/2022 and remain at Hickory Flat for the duration of the school year are eligible to earn a FREE BIKE!
