Hembree Highlights
April 30, 2021
Note from Mrs. Smith
We had a great week here at the nest. We even had some little robins hatching in their nest this week. Springtime brings excitement and fun! Tomorrow is the first day of May, and before you know it we will be waving off the buses, carpool, and teams meetings for the last time for this school year. We are doing lots of review and extension as we start to prepare for the next academic year, but all of this is important work.
With that being said, we are still learning. I have spent a great deal of time in classrooms this week. Teachers are still teaching, and students are still learning. Please make sure that you send your child in each day so they are not missing any of the great learning that is happening every day.
I wanted to remind you that summer school registration is open for ALL students. We have sent out some invitations for summer school based on reading and/or math iReady scores. This is NOT mandatory, but would be a great opportunity for your child to get some extra practice this summer. Please feel free to check out the information HERE
Have a wonderful weekend! The weather is supposed to be beautiful. Go make great memories with your wonderful little hawks. Well those 5th graders are looking more and more like middle schoolers, so maybe "little" doesn't apply to all.
Stay Strong! Stay Positive! Stay Well!
Sincerely,
AJ Smith
