The CKH Leadworthy Character Word for January is RESPECT.
What is RESPECT?
Respect is the willingness and ability to act professionally and thoughtfully with ourselves and others. Leaders can deal respectfully with opposition and provide space for both dignity and differences to coexist.
Why focus on RESPECT?
RESPECT contributes to a positive culture. People feel safe, supported, and engaged in the context of thoughtful social, emotional, civic, and intellectual interactions.
RESPECT decreases conflict. Respect helps us, and others, to be able to express ourselves without fear of being judged, humiliated, or discriminated against.
RESPECT encourages empathy. Respect helps us to understand each other and put ourselves in someone else shoes.
Our students, who consistently exemplify respect throughout JANUARY, are likely to be chosen as the Leadworthy Spotlight Winner for their class. Winners get to have a special lunch with the principals!
Please encourage your child to lead with great character each day!
~DECEMBER Leadworthy Spotlight
Our selected students, who exemplified RESPONSIBILITY throughout the month of December, were honored with a special lunch (and ice cream) with Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Henley last week. We are incredibly proud of our students for being EXCEL leaders and Serving Like a PATRIOT!
~2nd Nine Weeks Perfect Attendance
Students who were here on time, all day long, for the entire 2nd quarter, were honored with certificates, Perfect Attendance Brag Tags, and Sonic Drinks last week! ATTENDANCE is ESSENTIAL for SUCCESS, and we are incredibly proud of these young Patriots!
~Class Attendance Incentive
When all students in a classroom are present and on time, with no early checkouts, the class receives a star for the day. Upon the 20th star, the class becomes eligible for the Class Attendance Incentive. There is a different incentive each month, so whatever the incentive is during the month a class reaches 20 stars, that's what they'll receive.
- October: Mrs. Stringer's class reached 20 stars and received a GLOW STICK PARTY!
- November: The following classes reached 20 stars and received a DANCE PARTY:
- Mrs. Penfield; Mrs. Finley; Mrs. DeVito; Mrs. Watts
- December: The following classes reached 20 stars and received MUSIC and FUN ACTIVITIES in the gym:
- Mrs. Garner; Mrs. Martindale; Mrs. Johnson; Mrs. D. Jones
- January: The following classes have reached 20 stars so far and will receive their GLOW STICK PARTY at the end of the month:
- Mrs. A. Jones; Mrs. Devine; Ms. Brasuell; Mrs. Broach
We are so proud of our students for showing up to school each day--ready to learn at high levels!

~Valentine's Day Parties (Wednesday, February 14, 2024)
Parents, I know you have already received correspondence from your child's teacher regarding HCE Valentine's Day parties, but there are some housekeeping things I'd like to share with you. Please read and adhere to the following:
- NO LUNCH VISITORS
- We will not have visitors during lunch on this day. You are welcome to attend your child's Valentine's Day Party instead.
- 2023-24 Visitor Expectations
- Please read this document carefully and follow these expectations when visiting.
- PARTY TIMES (YOU MUST CHECK IN FOR PARTIES AT THE FRONT OFFICE)
- CBI (12:00 - 12:30)
- Kindergarten - Second (1:00 - 1:30)
- Third - Fifth (1:45 - 2:15)
- If you have more than one student and will attend both party times, please wait in your car or in the cafeteria during the transition.
- HCES students will only attend their class' Valentine's Day party. Students may not leave their party to attend their sibling's party.
- Non-HCE siblings/students are not permitted to attend HCE parties, so please make arrangements for other children (under the age of 18) who are not students at HCE.
- During the party, teachers will have a sign-out sheet for you to use to sign out your student, as opposed to signing out in the office. IMPORTANT: PLEASE do not remove students from classrooms without signing them out with their teacher, as we will use these to determine which students left with parents.
We appreciate your support with this!
