HEMS Family Newsletter
OFF TO A GREAT START!!
Over the past several years, Harriet Eddy has experienced many significant and positive changes. A main focus area has been to increase parental involvement by providing frequent and meaningful opportunities for parents to be involved in our studentsโ educational experience.
I host a monthly Good Mornings with Gillis on the first Thursday of each month starting at 845am. Light refreshments and coffee are provided. These meetings are designed around a central theme and then provide time for parent questions. I invite our community to attend these meetings.
In addition, we have our parent volunteer group - Hornet HEROES. This volunteer group provides supervision and classroom support. Volunteer times are completely flexible based upon your availability. If you are interested in becoming a Hornet HERO, please take a moment to complete this Volunteer Registration Form 2022-23 and contact Mr. Wardlaw at rtwardla@egusd.net or call the school at 916-683-1302.
In partnership,
C Norma Gillis
