Office Greetings

Dear Hyatt Elementary Families,


As we embark on another exciting school year, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering commitment to your child's education and your continued support of our school district.


Your involvement is crucial in creating a vibrant learning environment where our students can thrive academically and socially. We believe that education is a partnership between families and schools, and your engagement makes a significant difference in our community.


We are excited to offer numerous opportunities for volunteering and getting involved this year. Whether it’s through classroom activities, special events, or after-school programs, your participation not only enriches your child’s experience but also fosters friendships and collaboration among families.


Together, we can help our children grow into confident, capable individuals. We look forward to working alongside you and strengthening our partnership as we support our students in their educational journey. Thank you once again for your dedication and support. Here’s to a successful year ahead!


Mr. Strickert and Mrs. Carter

Every Child Every Day!

October 17th

Our fall parent teacher conferences are being held on Thursday, October 17th. Please contact your child's teacher to schedule a time to meet and discuss their progress. This is a wonderful opportunity to connect, develop shared understanding, and collaborate around your child's success.

Attendance Matters!

Although school attendance may occasionally be impacted by family obligations, vacations, and seasonal illness, attendance remains the most critical factor in school success. While we will continue to celebrate and encourage "family time," please keep school attendance a priority for your children. Developing routines and embedding expectations at a young age lends itself to improved health and success. Not to mention, we love to see your children every day as they add to discussions, strengthen each other's thinking and learning, and are part of the essence that makes Hyatt Elementary special!

Opportunities for the children to view and shop will occur during the week as well as during parent-teacher conferences on the 17th.

S.R.O. Officer Williams' Halloween Tips

Halloween is just around the corner and it is an exciting time for children across our community. If you are planning on an evening of trick or treating, I would encourage you to discuss your expectations to help you all have a safe and enjoyable time together. Here are a few tips that you may want to consider before you head out:

  • Always walk on sidewalks or paths. If there are no sidewalks, walk facing traffic as close to the curb as possible.
  • Look left, right and left again when crossing the street.
  • Have your child carry a glow stick or flashlight to help them see and be seen.
  • Put electronic devices down. Keep your head up and walk; don’t run across the street.
  • Decorate costumes and bags with reflective tape
  • Only go to houses with porch lights on and NEVER GO INSIDE.
  • Parents should inspect all treats before the children eat them.


Go Eagles!

School Bond Updates School Bond Updates

Contractors have been busy with demolition in preparation for the renovation of the north side of Hyatt to accommodate the children and staff from the Argentine Early Childhood Center beginning in the fall of 2025. The renovations that are slated to occur to the rest of Hyatt Elementary are anticipated to begin as soon as school lets out in early June. Each layer of the bond is designed to improve the overall school experience, safety, and quality of opportunity afforded to the children in our district. If you are looking for additional updates to the district bond projects, you can find them on the district website or for those specific to Hyatt, you may simply click on this link https://core-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/2357/lcs/2319593/What_is_in_Bond_for_Hyatt_Elementary.pdf

Health Safety

We are beginning to approach the cold and flu season, so please remind your children the importance of washing their hands, trying to keep their hands off their faces, covering their mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing, and not sharing their food with others. These are proven strategies to reducing the spread of illness. Remember, a child with a fever or who is physically ill must stay home for at least 24 hours and be symptom free without medication before returning to school.


Also, as classroom parties are on the horizon, please remain cognizant of student allergies in your child’s classroom. Due to the severity of the reactions to some allergies we ask that all snacks, treats, are store purchased. If your child exhibits any symptom, you will be called to pick your child up from school.

Halloween Updates

It's hard to believe we are already planning for Halloween! Below are a few tidbits to help keep everyone in the loop regarding expectations and activities for Thursday, October 31st. Please contact your child's teacher or the office with any questions.


  • Children may wear their costumes to school.
  • Face paint dries out the skin and will likely become an irritant as the day progresses, so it is recommended that you save this portion of the costume for trick-or-treating at home.
  • Leave any "weapon like" accessories at home.
  • Teachers will communicate information about their individual parties. Please only send in store bought treats due to possible food related allergies
  • The Costume Parade will begin at 2:45 PM. Families are welcome to come and take pictures of their child. If you decide to take your child home afterwards, please make sure you stop by the office first to sign them out. The weather will determine our parade route, which will be shared closer to the 31st.

At Hyatt Elementary we Stay Safe, Offer Kindness, Act Responsibly, and Remember Respect. Each week we will focus on a new character trait utilizing the Positivity Project.
