HVCHS UPDATES

A MESSAGE FROM MS. RILEY

November is known as the National Month of Gratitude, and I am truly grateful for my time at HVCHS. I am so thankful for the opportunity to form relationships with our dedicated, hard-working staff, our supportive parent community, and most importantly, our amazing students, who are a highlight of each and every day. Thank you all for being a part of the HVCHS community.

HVCHS IS THANKFUL FOR...

There is so much to be thankful for at HVCHS! From dedicated instructional staff to delicious cookies in the cafeteria, from clean hallways to inclusive programming, from thoughtful students to supportive parents and guardians, we are surrounded by reasons to be thankful. Please share a few reasons that you are thankful to be a part of HVCHS via our submission form! Responses will be shared on our "HVCHS is Thankful For..." bulletin board in the days leading up to Thanksgiving.

ALUMNI BOOK DISPLAY

As part of our ongoing commitment to strengthening our relationships with HVCHS alumni, we are in the process of creating a display in the HVCHS Media Center of books that have been written and/or illustrated by HVCHS alumni and staff. If you have any suggestions for titles that should be included in the display, please complete the suggestion form.

ATTENDANCE NOTIFICATIONS

Starting tomorrow, our automated attendance notifications will return. If we do not receive notification of a student's absence prior to 7:45 a.m., parents and guardians will be contacted by email and phone call to ensure that they are aware of the student's absence. Please contact our TeleSafe number 609-737-4003, Ext. 3506, by 7:45 am to report an absence or late arrival, and be sure to provide a note if your child needs to be dismissed from school early. If you have any questions or concerns regarding attendance records, please feel free to contact our attendance secretary (Mrs. Schaub), or your child's vice principal.
