HCS Student Newsletter
Important Information From Mrs. Klaehn
November 12, 2020
You're Worth It
There seems to be "glitch" in sending this out to all students at the same time through SchoolTool, so I'm basically sending the same newsletter from October with a few minor changes. If you are one of the 21 students who has already read it, bear with me and thanks for your patience with the repeat info, and please pay attention to the new!
___________________________________________________________________________________________
The world around us is pretty chaotic right now. I'm going to be honest; sometimes it takes a lot of effort to drag myself out of bed at 4:15 every morning so I can start my day, but at 7:25 every morning when I open those doors to greet you, I am uplifted.
Sometimes All The Things are too much to handle, even for adults, so I get that it's tough on teenagers (I live with 6th grader and an 8th grader, and a 40-year-old who still acts like he's 18). I know you've got a lot going on in your heads and in your lives, and I know that this past year (ish) has been rough.
I want you to remember that even though I want you to show up and be the best human being you can be, and I want academic success for all of you, I do not expect you to be perfect and to be able to "handle it" all the time, and you are worth so much more to me (and every other adult in this building) than a grade or a test score.
Be kind. Be true to yourself. Do your best.
Also...I'm proud of you.
~Mrs. Klaehn

Social Media Awareness
THINK before you post or share:
Is it TRUE?
Is it HELPFUL?
Is it INSPIRING?
Is it NECESSARY?
Is it KIND?
If your answer to any of these questions is "no", consider the potential message you are sending your followers. I know that HCS is full of delightful and thoughtful young people, and I want everyone else to know that, too!
Student Advisory Council
GoGuardian Student Monitoring Software
1. An email or conversation from/with me telling you that you're placed on internet restrictions and will need to let your teachers know if something is blocked. And also an email or call to your parent/guardian to let them know you've accessed something naughty.
2. A phone call or check in from me, Dr. Paler, Mr. Carrier, Mrs. VanLare, or Deputy Potter to confirm that you are safe, and to assess your risk of self-harm. If you are not in school when we receive a self-harm alert and we can't reach you, we will call your parents and/or send a uniformed police officer to your home for a wellness check. We will follow up with your parent/guardian every time we are concerned about your wellbeing. I know this may seem extreme, but your safety and wellbeing is our top priority, and we'd rather be safe than sorry.
3 Ways to Boost Your Immunity
Sleep
Nutrition
Vitamin D: This is one of the most valuable vitamins out there. It is fat-soluble vitamin that promotes absorption of calcium and helps to prevent muscle cramping, among other benefits. It can be found in foods and also by getting sunlight, and it a game-changer when it comes to boosting your immunity!
