Placement for 2018-2019
We welcome letters from parents who wish to inform us of the needs (strengths, characteristics, etc.) of their child for the 2018-2019 school year. As we are unable to meet with each parent, this is a great way to share information about your child and help with placement for next year. We ask that you not mention a particular teacher’s name, since we will not be able to honor individual teacher requests. All letters should be provided to HSES in a sealed envelope addressed to Ms. Clark.

Walk Bike to school
Join the PTA on May 9, 2018 for annual Walk and Bike to School Day! This event promotes walking and bicycling for several reasons:
*Physical activity
*Teaching safe pedestrian and bicycling skills to children
*Awareness of how walkable and bikeable a community is and where improvements can be made
*Concern for the environment
*Reducing traffic congestion, pollution and speed near schools
*Sharing time with community leaders, parents and children
Bring your child to Jones Park on Wednesday, May 9 around 8:15am and join other students, staff and parents as we make a parade and walk to school! More details will be sent home next week.
