HES Shark Scoop

Dear HES Families,

Welcome back! We were all so excited to see your children on Monday, and what a great week it has been! Thank you for sending your children back to us for the final eight weeks of the school year.

This week, April’s 4th grade ambassadors led the school in a beautiful assembly, which focused on our core value of respect. They performed short skits and challenged the whole school to respect our earth by taking efforts to clean up our campus. A celebratory addition to this month’s meeting spotlighted students, Hadley Dutcher and Emily Goodnow, who shared their award-winning poems from the Cape Cod Voices for Peace Poetry Contest.

As this week wraps up Autism Appreciation Month, the whole school enjoyed Mr. Weimer’s Blue 7-Up and Mentos Geysers activity and Ms. Hoff’s Robot Parade through our hallways. These wonderful traditions brought lots of joy and excitement for the whole school.

Thank you for making your optional class placement requests. The form is officially closed, and now it’s time for the educators to do their part in ensuring all children are set up for success next year. Thank you for trusting us as we move forward with this process; details about Step Up Day are forthcoming.

In May, MCAS continues for our upper elementary students, and many end of year events are on the docket! Please keep eyes out for grade specific activities, and know that larger school wide events will be shared here. Next week is Massachusetts Walk, Bike, Roll to School on Wednesday, May 3rd. Being sidewalk challenged in Harwich, we will conduct our school-wide walk during the school day.

As a reminder, the Harwich Town Meeting will be May 1, 2023 (with Town Elections May 16, 2023). Childcare for Town Meeting is offered through the Recreation Department.

Have a great weekend and enjoy all that is spring.

My best,

Christie

Queridas famílias do HES,

Bem vindo de volta! Estávamos todos muito ansiosos para ver seus filhos na segunda-feira, e que semana incrível! Obrigado por enviar seus filhos de volta para nós nas últimas oito semanas do ano letivo.

Nesta semana, os embaixadores da 4ª série de abril lideraram a escola em uma bela assembleia, que enfocou nosso valor central de respeito. Eles realizaram esquetes curtos e desafiaram toda a escola a respeitar nossa terra, fazendo esforços para limpar nosso campus. Uma adição comemorativa à reunião deste mês destacou os alunos, Hadley Dutcher e Emily Goodnow, que compartilharam seus poemas premiados do Concurso de Poesia Cape Cod Voices for Peace Poetry.

Como esta semana encerra o Mês de Apreciação do Autismo, toda a escola aproveitou a atividade Blue 7-Up e Mentos Geysers do Sr. Weimer e o Desfile de Robôs da Sra. Essas tradições maravilhosas trouxeram muita alegria e emoção para toda a escola.

Obrigado por fazer suas solicitações de colocação de classe opcional. O formulário está oficialmente encerrado e agora é hora dos educadores fazerem sua parte para garantir que todas as crianças tenham sucesso no próximo ano. Obrigado por confiar em nós enquanto avançamos com este processo; detalhes sobre o Step Up Day estão por vir.

Em maio, o MCAS continua para nossos alunos do ensino fundamental, e muitos eventos de fim de ano estão agendados! Por favor, fique de olho nas atividades específicas da série e saiba que eventos maiores em toda a escola serão compartilhados aqui. A próxima semana é Massachusetts Walk, Bike, Roll to School na quarta-feira, 3 de maio. Sendo desafiados pela calçada em Harwich, conduziremos nossa caminhada em toda a escola durante o dia escolar.

Como lembrete, o Harwich Town Meeting será em 1º de maio de 2023 (com as eleições municipais em 16 de maio de 2023). A creche para a Reunião Municipal é oferecida pelo Departamento de Recreação.

Tenha um ótimo final de semana e aproveite tudo o que é primavera.

Meu melhor,

Christie
