A Note from Nurse Sandy
Dear Hanawalt Families,
While we are temporarily in the virtual mode, please remember to continue to notify the school when your child is feeling ill. We would all like to return to Hybrid learning and eventually 100% in person as soon as possible, but it's important we maintain a healthy environment for our students and staff to return to. In order for this to happen, we need to know if:
· Your child is feeling ill
· Your child is being tested for Covid-19
· Your child tested positive for Covid-19 and has been told to isolate
· You have a positive Covid-19 case in your household
· Your child has been exposed to a positive Covid-19 person
· Your child has been identified as a close contact and has been told to quarantine
Please call the main office at 515-242-8411. If you have questions about how long to isolate, quarantine, or if your child has been exposed and is a close contact, please ask to have the nurse call you. You can also reach out directly to Nurse Sandy by email at sandra.willett@dmschools.org or by phone.
Communication will be critical in order to reopen our schools safely and quickly, we all need to work together!

PTA Notes
Dates for your Calendar:
December 8th at 6:30p.m. will be our next PTA meeting to kick off our Read-a-Thon! We will review Read-a-thon expectations briefly. We will then be inviting all RHS feeder schools into a discussion related to equity. This meeting will include a presentation by Peter LeBlanc, a DMPS administrator, who will present on the findings of the DMPS Anti-Racist Townhalls. We look forward to seeing all of you (over zoom) there!
Leadership Needed:
With the PTA executive committee nearing the end of their term, we are looking for several people to 'learn the ropes' and be ready to lead next year. Without leadership, the PTA can only operate at a limited capacity. Please reach out to us if you have even the slightest interest and we can find a position that can meet the time and energy level you are able to give. Please contact us at HanawaltElementaryPTA@gmail.com
