The Weekly Highlander

Dear Highlander Families:

Wishing you a fun and relaxing Spring Break filled with fun and new adventures! Thank you for your continued support in making this school year a success—we truly appreciate our partnership in your child's education. Enjoy this well-deserved break, and we look forward to seeing everyone re-energized when we return!

Please remember that students return to school on TUESDAY, March 25th at 8:15am. On Wednesday, March 26th we will have the counseling sponsored Breakfast Club at 8:15am and on Thursday there will be a general PTA meeting at 1:00pm in person and on Zoom.

Mark your calendar for the Hewes Celebration of Learning, also known as Open House, that will take place on Thursday, April 3rd, from 6 pm - 7 pm. This will be an opportunity for parents to come to campus and see all of the exciting things your students have been learning this year.

The PTA-sponsored International Week has been rescheduled for the week of April 7th, details of lunchtime activities will be shared after spring break. Please stay connected to Hewes by checking our website and following us on Instagram @heweshighlanders for the latest information and news.
