HES Shark Scoop

Dear Caregivers,

On behalf of the entire HES staff, we are so excited to welcome our Sharks to the PTO Ice Cream Social this Wednesday and back to school next week! Here is our HES Parent Packet with the school year calendar, drop off and pick up information, and more! Also, check the calendar below for important back to school dates so that you can mark your calendars.

A few district-wide reminders:

• General back to school information can be found on the Monomoy website
• Bus routes and times are posted to the website
• The district wide back to school celebration will be held Thursday, August 27, from 3-3:30 p.m. at the MRHS Community Entrance (rear of the building) - all are welcome! Stop by to connect with teachers and staff and enjoy a treat.
• If you have not yet done so, please take a moment to review and confirm the contact information listed in our student information system (Aspen). This must be done each year prior to the start of school to ensure that we have accurate information on file.
• All families also need to complete the annual health history form for each student, even if there have not been any changes.

As a friendly reminder, now is a good time to start adjusting your child's sleep schedule so that they're getting to bed early enough for our 7:45 am start time. Please let me know how I can support your family's transition into the new school year.

Warm regards,

Christie
