This meeting is for all Head Start parents. Please come out and learn about what's happening in Head Start and get your questions answered.

Parents, our teachers expressed that some students are refusing to simply do the work. We need your help in making sure students understand how important it is that they are actively participating and putting forth effort.

Thank you to all the women that attended our Women's Symposium on Saturday. Ms. Cawley and Ms. Williams - Thank you for your hard work and such a fabulous and much needed event for our communtiy. The information provided will enrich the lives of those in attendance and those they share the information with. We appreciate you at Minnie Hughes!

All students had the opportunity to bring home some seeds to plant thanks to Ms. Lockerman and her Gardening Club. We hope you take advantage and plant some with your students. If you do, we want you to send us some pictures to sharon_gadsden@charleston.k12.sc.us.

In an effort to celebrate the diversity of all Minnie Hughes students and the many different cultures in the United States, each homeroom class will feature a country. Teachers will send out information about the culture your child's class will feature. We are asking you to paticipate and donate items that represent that culture.

Tutoring days have changed to Mondays, Wednesdays, & Thursdays.

Parents, make sure your child is getting enough sleep. We want student's brains to be alert and "school & test ready". It is difficult for students to think correctly when their brains are tired.

The Farmer's Market will be at Minnie Hughes on Wednesday, April 2nd.

What is the Pyramid Model?

The Pyramid Model is a framework of evidence-based practices for promoting young children’s healthy social and emotional development.

Is the Pyramid Model a curriculum?

The Pyramid Model works in conjunction with the program’s curriculum, but is not a curriculum itself.

Who uses the Pyramid Model?

The Pyramid Model provides guidance for:

• early childhood special education personnel
• early intervention personnel
• early educators
• families

Is there a teacher or staff member you want to recognize for their hard work and being INTENTIONALLY ALL IN? Then please just fill out this short nomination form. We will select a new winner every two weeks and post the lucky winner receiving their award. Thanks for parents being INTENTIONALLY ALLIN!

It is important to arrive at school, on time, every day. Every minute of the student’s day is dedicated to make sure we are making the most of each learning opportunity. Strive towards scheduling a bedtime for your scholar. Set an alarm to arise in the mornings, if you noticed getting out of the house is a challenge. School is important! If you had challenges with arrival and dismissal, our Family Support Specialist will be in contact with you soon. Please also be mindful of appointment days. It is best to still send you child to school if you have an early morning appointment or schedule the appointment late so your child can still be present most of the day.

If is missing please reach out, so you can follow along and see when your child earns points!

How can I share my concern, provide feedback or suggestions

• Complete the Bus Transportation Complaint and Feedback Form.

What happens when I submit my complaint/feedback?

• Your complaint will be investigated and someone will call or email you to address your concern.

• CCSD Transportation staff monitors this log to ensure concerns are being addressed in a timely manner.

Now that we have had some time in school, we wanted to explain the dismissal routines. If you have a student that normally rides the bus and you want to change how they get home, by making them a car rider, or having them ride another bus, you must fill out this log, so that we have the request in writing and then we will relay the message to the teacher and child. We cannot take messages over the phone. There have been people calling in the past saying they were the parent and was not, so please understand that this is for safety. Click the button below.

Your feedback is important to us and always welcome! Please use the form attached to offer any suggestions you may have. The form is linked here.
