Flat Family Weekly News
February 13 - 17
We are up to something good at Hickory Flat!
Happenings at Hickory Flat!
We have only 5 school days until Mid-Winter Break! Our students are working hard each day and I am confident that everyone is ready for a week out of school! School will be closed for all students next week, February 20 - 24.
If you have visited the school this year, you know that our doors have remained locked and our front office staff has opened the door throughout the day. Our access doors are now installed and will be fully functional soon! Currently, we are thrilled that the "buzz" entry system is working. When visitors arrive, our staff now have the ability to unlock the doors from the front office. I will provide additional updates to our safety plan as the system is fully implemented. We remain grateful for the commitment of Henry County Schools to maintain a safe and positive learning environment for all students, faculty, staff, and community members!
This Week:
Tuesday is Valentines Day! We celebrate it as Friendship Day at Hickory Flat! We don't have parties to commemorate the day, but it is common for students to exchange Valentine cards and/or treats. If you would like to participate, please coordinate with your child's teacher for any questions regarding what they may be able to bring and for the number of students in class.
