Dear HES Community,
Our teachers and staff returned to school today, and we are enthusiastically preparing for the opening of a new school year! We are excited to welcome Sharks and their caregivers and siblings to our Ice Cream Social today, Wednesday, August 28 from 3-5 pm on the playground. Come meet new and old friends! Although classrooms will not be open, you are welcome to walk through the building after enjoying your ice cream.
School officially begins on Tuesday, September 3, for students in grades 1-4. Kindergarten students will come to their scheduled transition meetings on September 3 and 4 and then join us full day on Thursday, September 5. Preschool students will begin on Monday, September 9.
Please see the HES handbook for information regarding morning drop off and more.
We look forward to seeing you this afternoon!
All my best,
Christie
