It’s only been a month of school, and our Lost & Found is already bursting at the seams! So far we’ve collected 5 pairs of boots, over 30 sweatshirts, and a whole parade of water bottles; apparently they’re multiplying when we’re not looking.

Please stop by and rescue your belongings before they go on their next adventure. Any unclaimed items will be donated to a local charity after Friday, September 26.

Join us for a fun and inspiring evening with the HCS PiE crew! We’ll have a special guest speaker, Janet from Everybody Wins Vermont,. PiE will also be presenting HCS with a check to support families in need in our community. The meeting is on 9/30 at 6pm.

Come hear about upcoming events, ways to get involved, and new volunteer opportunities. Curious about becoming a Room Champion for your child’s classroom or grade? This is the perfect chance to learn more and sign up!

Bring your energy, ideas, and community spirit—we can’t wait to see you there!

Mark your calendars for Friday, 10/3 at 6pm in the Flex Space—it’s movie night for grades K–4! Students will get to vote for the feature film right in their classrooms, and the winning movie will be revealed in the Viking—so stay tuned!

We’ll also have a concession stand available (donations welcome), so grab a snack, bring your cozy vibes, and enjoy a night out with friends. See you there!

The HCS Office closes each day at 4:30 p.m. If you have questions about the Late Bus after 4:30; the best person to contact is Barry Russell, our Transportation Supervisor. He can be reached directly at 802-482-7120 after 4:30 p.m. During regular school office hours (before 4:30 p.m.), you are welcome to call the HCS Office. After hours, Barry will be your point of contact.

Mark your calendars — Friday, September 26 is LifeTouch Picture Day at HCS! Keep an eye on your child’s backpack for a special LifeTouch folder with everything you need to know about photo packages and ordering options.

We want every student to have the chance to shine. If cost is a concern, a limited number of coupons are available to help with photo orders. Please reach out to Deb or Libby at hcsattendance@cvsdvt.org for details.

Picture Day is coming up, and we could really use some extra helping hands (actually, four helping hands!). We’re looking for two volunteers to join us on Friday, September 26th for the full day. Tasks may include helping students line up, keeping things running smoothly in the photo area, and making sure everyone is looking their best before they smile for the camera.

This is always a fun day to be part of; you’ll get to see lots of familiar faces and play an important role in helping things go off without a hitch. Please note that volunteers must have current HCS volunteer clearance.

If you’re available, please call Deb or Libby at 482-2106 to sign up. We’d love to have you join us!
