Attendance Line and Dismissal Changes
If your child is going to be absent from school, the office asks you to please call the Hershey Attendance Line at 765-269-8342. Also, if there is a change in your child's dismissal, please call the Hershey Office directly before 2:30 at 765-269-8280 rather than emailing the teacher(s).....we don't always check our email and don't want to miss anything. Thanks!
One Last Note.....
At this special time of year, I’d like to thank you again for entrusting me with your children. I am truly blessed to get to spend every day with your kids, teaching them new and exciting things….but more importantly, getting to watch them grow into smart, responsible, independent, cooperative, loving individuals. They amaze and challenge me each and every day. Our Fall/Winter 2023 was fun, adventurous, and philanthropic....and I'm so excited to see what the next year will bring. I wish you all happiest, safest, and most joyous holiday season ever! See you in 2024!
Merry Christmas!
Love,
Ms. Williams
