Hello Families, The time change can be difficult on all of us, but specifically our elementary age children. Help your child get in bed as early as possible this week so they can catch up on the hour they missed Sunday night. Our teachers are anxious to visit with you about your student's progress this year. All of their success would not be possible without parents and grandparents like you. You are a vital piece to the learning process. We look forward to seeing you at conferences Thursday afternoon and evening. Spring Break is next week! I hope you are able to spend quality time with your children, doing something fun! Here is this week's Patriot Press...Make it a great day or not, the choice is yours.

Hello HCES Families, I want to give a "Shout Out" to our Student Leadership Team and Ms. Dockery for their No Cell Phone in a School Zone Campaign last week. If you dropped off or picked up your student as a car rider, you were probably greeted by the smiling kiddos wearing the green t-shirts, holding signs and distributing bookmarks to remind all parents to "Bookmark Our Words: No Cell Phones in a School Zone." ​Our mission statement is focused on keeping our students and staff safe. Thank you for joining us in sharing that mission.​ Also, remember our school day begins at 7:45, and ends at 3:10. Please have your child to school on time everyday, unless you are sick or have an appointment. Teach your child the importance of attending school... Help them be an Attendance Hero!  There are many opportunities for your family to get connected with our school in the upcoming weeks. Take a look at this week's Patriot Press for Parents, and mark your calendars for these fun events at The Creek... Make it a great day or not, the choice is yours!
