HUSKY HIGHLIGHTS

Thank you, HCS Families!

What a fantastic night we had at our HCS PiE Family Fun Night! It was so wonderful to see our school community come together to laugh, connect, and celebrate.

From the creative and thoughtful raffle baskets to the excitement of the raffle drawings, the entire evening was filled with energy, generosity, and school spirit. Whether you came to win a basket, spend time with friends, or just enjoy being part of the HCS community, your presence made the night truly special.

And we can’t forget one of the highlights of the night - getting to spend time with Hero the Husky! 🐺It was so much fun seeing students (and adults!) light up while visiting with our amazing mascot.

A huge thank you to all of our families who donated items, purchased tickets, and helped support PiE and HCS. Your contributions make a real difference for our school and our students. A special shout out and thank you to Alyssa Lasher for her amazing raffle baskets!

And of course, thank you for showing up. Nights like this are what make HCS such a special place.

We are so grateful to be part of this community!

March’s CVSD Inspiration Awards highlighted Charlotte Central School and Hinesburg Community School, honoring four students for their selflessness, perseverance and growth.

On Saturday, March 14th, students from Hinesburg Community School’s 5th-8th grade jumped into the icy waters of Lake Champlain for a great cause, the Vermont Special Olympics.

The Hinesburg group of students raised an extraordinary $9,296 for the Vermont Special Olympics. In fact, HCS led the district schools in fundraising this year! Every student that wanted to participate was able to despite having to raise a minimum of $150 each for the cause. A huge thank you to all the community members who reached out to support our plungers!

Plunging into the water were: 5th grade teachers Paul Lasher and Alyssa Wieland- Students: Hamish Campbell, Madison Bushey, Lydia Tappan, Coen LaCompte, Colin Natkin, Aiden Webb, Ruby Chojnowski, Maddie Saviloi, Addie Powden, Yvette Chalifoux, Maya Manikian, Iris Tallman, Langley Parent, Piper Bissonette, Hannah Powers, Evelyn Miller, Sully Wellman, Wyatt Kuykendall, Gilly Wellman, Theron Trefethen

Some brave parents/grandparents joined the fun: John Powers, Sawyer LaCompte, Jon Natkin, Emily Parent, Rob Wellman, Rachel Squires, Miles Manikian

CCS/HCS Configuration Study

Last May, the CVSD school board asked district administration to evaluate the current and potential future configuration of Hinesburg Community School (HCS) and Charlotte Central School (CCS)—a longstanding topic of conversation in the community.

The study committee is examining a wide variety of trends and data related to the schools’ current configuration and the impacts of moving grades 6-8 from HCS to CCS. Areas of consideration include student opportunity, transportation, enrollment, staffing, curricular and co-curricular offerings, facilities, and more.

The next public meeting where the committee will be working on this study will be held Thursday, March 26 at CVSD Central Office and via Zoom (Passcode: cvsd11).

The study committee will make a recommendation to the Board on May 19, 2026, regarding whether restructuring is advised. At a later meeting (to be scheduled), the school board will discuss the recommendation and take action.

The Community Field Project invites you to an information session to learn more about the proposed field at CVU. The event is open to all and is structured to provide details and research for those who are excited, concerned, or just curious. Join us in the CVU Library on April 8th at 6pm.
