A Note From the Principal
Hello Hemmenway Families!
March is here, and Spring is in the air! Thank you for your participation in our Western Dance Day. It was so refreshing to see our students enjoying themselves with fun, physical activity practiced during our Encore classes. I am glad so many parents were able to take advantage of the "Fast Pass" sign up to prevent the long lines for entering the building. However, when the day is an instructional day, we won't be able to have any Fast Pass access for student checkouts. Parents, we hope to see you at our next events coming up -- Field Days and Carnival. Also, please see the flyer below to review the methods we use to keep everyone informed.
We have been working to get 97% in our student attendance. You can help us by ensuring your students come to school on time at 8:45am, and remain throughout the entire school day until 4:10pm. In order for a student to receive credit or a final grade for a class, a student is required to attend class 90 percent of the days class is offered regardless of whether the student's absences are excused. A student who has more than 16 absences for the school year could be in danger of not being promoted to the next grade. So if your child is not sick, please get them to school.
We are on the same team. Thank you for partnering with us to help your students grow academically, behaviorally, and socially. Thank you for helping our Tigers SHINE!

Lunch Visitor Updates
This year we will have two days for lunch visitation - Tuesdays and Fridays! We will continue to use the registration link to sign-up to make the process smooth when you come to enjoy lunch with your student. We will have enough spots to ensure you and your students can sit together on the stage. You will be able to register up to 2 visitors per student for no more than 2 lunch visits per month. This ensures more parents can share this time with their students.
