The Weekly Update #4

Week in Review

We are off to a great start at Hector Elementary School! Here’s a quick look at just a few of the great things that happened during Week 1.3 (1st nine weeks, 3rd week of school)!

Beginning-of-Year Testing Complete: Students in grades K–3 wrapped up screener and beginning-of-year testing last week. We have a few students who still need to complete testing, but overall, everything went very well!
Home Game Welcome: Our HHS Football Team and Cheerleading Squad came down Friday morning to welcome our littles to school! They even stuck around through breakfast to make sure every student had the opportunity to receive a special good-morning welcome. We loved having our older Wildcats on campus!
PAWS & Applause: We celebrated our first PAWS & Applause on Friday afternoon! Students who receive a “Caught Showing Your PAWS” card from their teacher earn a special Friday visit from the principal to celebrate their PAWSitive attitude and behavior from the week. 🐾🎉

Big Things This Week

Classwork and instruction are in full swing this week! Ask your child what they are learning at school—you may be surprised by how much they already have to share! Ask about their WIN time and what they are learning, too!

All of our students have now visited the library! Ask your child about their visit and what they are reading. We’d also love to see our Wildcats reading at home! Feel free to send us a picture of you reading together—we may feature it in an upcoming Wildcat Weekly!

Wildcat Reminders

School begins at 7:45 a.m. for all Pre-K through 4th-grade students. Please help us start the day strong by ensuring your child arrives on time. The car rider gate will close at 7:45 a.m. Students arriving after that time will need to be signed in at the front office by a parent or guardian. No worries about breakfast—we will still make sure late-arriving students have an opportunity to eat!

Please check your child’s backpack each evening for classwork, teacher communication, and other important papers being sent home.

If you haven’t already, please complete and return your child’s beginning-of-year paperwork in their folder as soon as possible. Thank you for helping us get everything in place for a great school year!

Car Rider Reminder: Our car rider line will conclude at 4:15 p.m. If you are running late, please plan to pick up your child through the front office. Thank you for helping us keep dismissal running smoothly and safely!
