Our 7th and 8th grade students recently had the opportunity to step outside the classroom and explore a world of career possibilities at the Workplace in Motion show at the Expo Fairgrounds in Essex, Vermont.

The field trip gave students a chance to learn about a wide variety of careers, industries, and hands-on opportunities available right here in Vermont. Students explored interactive exhibits, met professionals from different fields, and learned more about the skills, education, and training that can lead to different career paths.

For many students, the highlight of the experience was getting to see, touch, and try things for themselves. Rather than simply hearing about different careers, students were able to engage with real-world demonstrations and ask questions of people working in a variety of professions.

Experiences like Workplace in Motion help students begin thinking about their own interests, strengths, and possibilities for the future. While our 7th and 8th graders have plenty of time before they need to choose a career, opportunities like this help them understand that there are many different paths to a successful and fulfilling future.

We are grateful to everyone who made this experience possible and to the many businesses, organizations, and professionals who took the time to share their knowledge and enthusiasm with our students!

At Hinesburg Community School, we know that students do their best learning when they feel safe, supported, connected, and understood. That’s where our HCS Behavior Systems Team comes in!

The Behavior Systems Team works throughout the school to support students in developing the social, emotional, and behavioral skills they need to be successful, both in the classroom and as members of our school community. You may see team members working alongside students in classrooms, supporting with transitions, providing individual or small-group support, or simply being a familiar and trusted adult when a student needs a little extra help navigating their day.

An important part of our work is recognizing that behavior is a form of communication. Along with maintaining clear expectations, we work to understand what a student may be communicating or needing in the moment so we can teach skills and provide effective support. We partner closely with students, teachers, support staff, administrators, and families to help students regulate emotions, solve problems, build positive relationships, and participate successfully in learning.

The Behavior Team also supports the broader school community by helping create consistency and positivity, and welcoming environments for all students. Whether we’re celebrating a student’s success, helping someone work through a difficult moment, or collaborating with staff behind the scenes, our goal is always the same: helping every student feel that they belong at HCS and have the tools and support they need to thrive.

We’re only two months into the school year, and our Lost & Found has already accumulated more than 30 items. 😧 At this point, we’re starting to wonder if the sweatshirts and water bottles are multiplying overnight. Jackets, hoodies, hats, water bottles and other assorted belongings are currently enjoying an extended stay at HCS while waiting for their families to realize they’re missing.

Please encourage your child to swing by the Lost & Found and see if anything looks suspiciously familiar. Caregivers are welcome to take a peek, too! All unclaimed items will be donated to a local charity after Friday, October 23.

Please enroll to receive text messages from the district and/or our school. If you haven't done this yet or if you are new to CVSD, follow the easy steps on this flyer. We don't overuse this method of communication, but it is helpful for reminders and quick announcements. Don't miss out!

Are you interested in having some fun learning alongside our students as a guest teacher (aka sub)? If so, please reach out to CVSDHR@cvsdvt.org or Amy Janetti.
