A Message from Principal Cutone
Dear HES Families,
Spring is in full swing, and the vibrant energy of the season has brought a wave of excitement to our school! We are thrilled to see our students actively engaged in their learning and growing every day. Here's a roundup of some of the recent happenings at HES:
Congratulations to our amazing 4th-grade students who completed the MCAS mathematics testing this week! We are incredibly proud of their hard work and dedication. It's truly inspiring to witness our students rising to the challenge and showcasing their mathematical skills. Well done, 4th graders!
Unfortunately, we have to share some disappointing news. Due to the rainy weather forecast, this Saturday's Bike Rodeo, which aimed to promote safety and fun, has been canceled. We understand the disappointment this may cause, and we appreciate your understanding.
Looking ahead, we are excited to announce that next week will bring the much-anticipated Book Fair to our school! The Book Fair is an incredible opportunity for students to explore new worlds through literature, cultivate a love for reading, and expand their imaginations. We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the PTO and the numerous volunteers who have graciously offered their time to make this event possible. Your dedication and support are invaluable, and we couldn't do it without you!
We encourage families to mark their calendars and join us at the Book Fair. We have an extensive selection of books for all ages and interests, ensuring there's something for everyone. Let's foster a love of reading and inspire our young minds together!
As always, we appreciate the ongoing support from our HES community. Together, we create an environment where our students can thrive and grow. If you have any questions or would like to get involved, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.
Wishing you a joyful and productive spring season!
Warm regards,
Christie

A primavera está em pleno andamento e a energia vibrante da estação trouxe uma onda de emoção para a nossa escola! Estamos entusiasmados em ver nossos alunos ativamente envolvidos em seu aprendizado e crescendo a cada dia. Aqui está um resumo de alguns dos acontecimentos recentes no HES:
Parabéns aos nossos incríveis alunos da 4ª série que concluíram o teste de matemática do MCAS esta semana! Estamos incrivelmente orgulhosos de seu trabalho árduo e dedicação. É realmente inspirador testemunhar nossos alunos enfrentando o desafio e mostrando suas habilidades matemáticas. Muito bem, alunos da 4ª série!
Infelizmente, temos que compartilhar algumas notícias decepcionantes. Devido à previsão de tempo chuvoso, o Bike Rodeio deste sábado, que visava promover segurança e diversão, foi cancelado. Entendemos a decepção que isso pode causar e agradecemos sua compreensão.
Olhando para o futuro, temos o prazer de anunciar que na próxima semana teremos a tão esperada Feira do Livro em nossa escola! A Feira do Livro é uma oportunidade incrível para os alunos explorarem novos mundos por meio da literatura, cultivarem o amor pela leitura e expandirem sua imaginação. Gostaríamos de estender nossa sincera gratidão ao PTO e aos numerosos voluntários que gentilmente ofereceram seu tempo para tornar este evento possível. Sua dedicação e apoio são inestimáveis, e não poderíamos fazer isso sem você!
Encorajamos as famílias a marcar seus calendários e se juntar a nós na Feira do Livro. Temos uma extensa seleção de livros para todas as idades e interesses, garantindo que haja algo para todos. Vamos promover o amor pela leitura e inspirar nossas mentes jovens juntos!
Como sempre, agradecemos o apoio contínuo de nossa comunidade HES. Juntos, criamos um ambiente onde nossos alunos podem prosperar e crescer. Se você tiver alguma dúvida ou quiser se envolver, não hesite em entrar em contato conosco.
