I hope you had a wonderful weekend!

Last week we recognized and celebrated our staff for Staff Appreciation Week. Our team participated in "Survivor" and had the opportunity to earn lots of fun prizes. We learned that our staff are creative, funny, and love to have a good time! Thank you to our wonderful H&S for the amazing treats throughout the week as well! Again, to our Hatfield team...thank you for ALL you do every day to support our students! Our chorus and orchestra students performed for our families at Kulp Elementary and I heard they had another wonderful performance! On Friday, H&S held our 6th grade dance. The event was a lot of fun and enjoyed by all. Thank you for giving your time to organize great events like this for our students!

This week there will be no school for students on Tuesday, 5/16. Our teachers will be participating in a district-wide in-service. On Wednesday evening, from 6-7:30, our Kindergarten to Second Grade families are invited to Literacy Night here at Hatfield. Please join us for lots of fun activities! Lastly, Saturday, 5/20, some of our students are participating in the IronKnights Triathlon--good luck to all of you!

Keep soaring above and beyond,

Mrs. Whalen

• If your child rides a bike to school, PLEASE remind them that they must wear a helmet. We are noticing that more and more students are not wearing one and of course, their safety is our concern. Thank you for your help with this.

• A slight change has been made to two of our busses. Please remind your child (if this applies) that bus 151 (orange) is now 26 and Bus 112 (blue) is now 151. We have been reminding students here at school as well.

• Please send your children to school with appropriate clothing for the temperature outside. The district policy states that classes will not go out for recess if the wind chill is below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Unless a doctor's note is turned into the office students will be required to go outside with their class.

• If your child will be absent for the day please let us know. You can either: email Mrs. Mandes at mandesm@npenn.org OR call 215-853-1470 OR through the Hatfield website: https://hatfield.npenn.org/attendance. All absences will be marked as unexcused unless we are notified.

• The district launched the Here Comes The Bus App. The app went live on January 9th. The app will be used to let parents know when their child’s bus is within a certain radius of the bus stop. Here is the communication sent out by the district. If your student is a bus rider, their ID should go home and come back to school every day. Please take the HCTB survey!
  

• From Mrs. Ball: For the safety of your child, sneakers are required for students to actively participate in Physical Education (Gym) class. It would be greatly appreciated if you could assist your child in remembering to wear or bring sneakers to school on their designated PE day.
