Family Staff Organization (FSO) Update
Thanks to those of you who were able to join us for this month’s FSO meeting. In case you missed it, we have a link to the presentation on the FSO webpage (click here) where you can review the results of the School Climate survey and get information on how to get notifications from Schoology (the learning management system used by SPPS to track assignments and grades in the classrooms). If you need more information or would like help in logging into Schoology or setting up notifications – please email wendy.caucutt@spps.org.
Resources for Family
FSO have been made aware that two Hidden River students, along with their parents and many siblings, has lost their home and all of their belongings to a house fire. The family's need for food and other essentials is great and immediate. The FSO will be coordinating a gift card drive for Cub Foods and Target and could use your help. (Assistance at these two stores was specifically requested by the family). If you are able to contribute, you can send the Cub or Target gift cards into the Main Office at school next week. We will also be available to take donations at the Band/Orchestra Concert on Thursday night. If you have any questions, please reach out at HiddenRiverFSO@gmail.com.
Thank you for helping us to support Hidden River families.
