March 2017
A Message from Mr. Hatfield
Dear College Hills Parents & Guardians,
Springtime is coming along with the time change this weekend. That gives you Spring Break to adjust to the new time. Before we make it to Spring Break we do have our class picture day Wednesday the 8th and $1 PJ day on Thursday the 9th. Thursday we will be raising funds for the United Way Youth cabinet. Let's help our youth make a difference in our local community. We hope that Spring Break will be a time for families to relax together. March 25th is our annual Paw Print festival. It will be a blast, so make sure to save the date!
Thank you for sharing your children with us!
Josh Hatfield, Principal

more can't miss deals in our Live Silent Auction
College Hills families won't want to miss out on offers from restaurant gift cards, vacations and even... complete braces packages!

With remind & Facebook, parents can receive helpful reminders and interesting news where it is most convenient.
We share even more info for parents through Facebook for the school here and for the PTO here. It is encouraged that parents toggle on "Get Notifications" on the top of our pages. Otherwise, many posts will not be included in your news feed without being boosted with an ad buy. We'd rather spend our money on the kids:)
