Hadfield School

Hi Families:

What a great start! It was wonderful to see students in the building. I'm incredibly proud of the Hadfield staff for making meaningful connections and the dedication to continuing to grow and learn with their students, your children. Please know we will continue to work hard all year for and with you and your child(ren). If you ever have feedback or questions for us, just let us know!

Here are a few quick notes and reminders:

• No School on Monday - Labor Day
• Arrival is 8:30am - there is no supervision on the playground prior to 8:20am - no students should be on the playground before 8:20am.
• All grade levels enter into a different door. This is essential in getting all 400 students to their classrooms as quickly as possible for breakfast.
• Dismissal and pick up is at 3:40pm. If you need help with forming a one stop pick up, please message your child's teacher on ClassDojo OR call the office at 262-970-1505.
• Park and Rec is an off-site partner using Hadfield's building to provide care before and after (CLC) for students 4K-5th grade. Park and Rec staff are in charge of full supervision of students during these times. See below for more information.
• Dismissal routes - with a smaller school, we were able to have last minute changes in pick up routines. This year, we cannot. Please help us and your child(ren) by establishing a consistent routine for pick up (example: riding the bus home, or having a parent pick up).

This newsletter below will include:

• Great first week pictures & some Open House photos too!
• Class Dojo - please connect!
• Before Care and After Care (CLC) information from Park and Rec
• 22-23 School Calendar
• 22-23 Hadfield Family Event Calendar
• September Lunch Menu

On behalf of myself and everyone here at Hadfield, we are honored to work with YOU and your children & are looking forward to a great year!

Our Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is always looking for great parents or guardians to join together for constant improvement and support of the school.

(This is NOT a mom group - PTO is open to all parents/guardians!!).

This is a great time to join, our school is new and on the way to becoming #1!

First meeting is Tuesday, September 6th at 6pm in the Hadfield Library.

What do you bring? Nothing! Just you!

Hope to see you then!

During the month of September we are required to hold all four safety drills. We also hold drills throughout the school year as well. The safety drill dates for September are:

Thursday September 8th - Fire Drill 10:15am

Thursday September 15th - Secure Drill - formerly called a Lockout Drill - 10:15am

Thursday September 22nd - Shelter in Place Drill - Tornado Drill - 10:15am

Thursday September 29th - Lockdown Drill - 10:15am

During these drills, no one will be able to enter or leave Hadfield. Please plan all student pick-ups before or after these times.

The safety of your children, our staff, and visitors to our campus is an ongoing priority that we continually assess, evaluate, and refine. Changes in our society over the past several years have made new safety policies and procedures necessary. Preparing for and practicing intruder drills are as necessary as are fire and weather drills. We have worked with our staff and students in preparing for all safety drills. Upon completion of each drill, we review and refine our plans to ensure the best response to such an event.

If your child is enrolled in the after school program with Park & Rec please go to Door #3 on Oakland and call this number 262-933-3146. The Park & Rec staff will bring your child to you are Door #3.

Support Hadfield by visiting Culver's for dinner on Tuesday, September 6th!

Dine-in or carry out between 5pm-8pm!

A % of the proceeds will go directly to the Hadfield PTO. All PTO $$ goes directly towards students, classrooms, or teacher needs!

We have a goal of connecting 95% (or more!) of our families to ClassDojo for school and class communication. We are currently at an average of 85% connected in each class. Please reach out to the office or your classroom teacher to help you get connected!

**Bonus - stay connected with us and get pictures like the below on Classdojo sent right to your phone! Seeing your child(ren) learning through the school day is the BEST!**

**PS- DO NOT sign up for the subscription that costs $$ - we do not expect that! You can sign up for the free account only!**
