Hawk News 11/14/2025

I can practically smell the turkey, we’re so close! We’ve all worked so hard, and Thanksgiving Break is now officially just a week away. I want to thank everyone for their effort and dedication over these last few weeks. It’s been a lot, but the hard work will pay off.

Congratulations to the Hawk Band they finished 19th in the State in the 5A Marching Contest! They did a great job representing the district at the state contest.

A student recently asked me about grades and what shows up once you leave Hendrickson. I explained that the high school transcript only includes the semester grade. That means the 1st Nine Weeks and 2nd Nine Weeks grades are combined to make up 90% of the semester grade, with the remaining 10% coming from the midterm exam. So yes, you can slip up a little, but everything adds up at the end of the semester. That’s why it’s important to:

Do you have a dog or cat that needs to get its annual vaccines? HHS FFA has you covered! This year our clinic will take place on Tuesday Dec 2nd from 5 - 7 pm in our Ag Building 1.

Annual shots are $25 per pet (excluding bordetella) for dogs and cats! They will also offer flea and heartworm preventatives at low cost prices depending on the brand and quantity you will need. If you only need the preventatives you do not have to bring your pet in for that.

Also, if you have 3 or more pets please pre register, instructions provided on the flyers attached. This will help you skip the lines and get your pets in and out as quickly as possible.

Dear Senior Parents and Guardians,

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is officially open for the Class of 2026! Completing the FAFSA is the most important step in securing financial aid for college, trade school, or career training programs.

This application determines eligibility for:

• Federal grants (money you don’t repay)

• Work-study opportunities

• Low-interest federal student loans

• Many state and college-specific scholarships

How the FAFSA Works This Year:

1. The student begins the FAFSA with their own username and password.

2. The student will then invite one parent/guardian (called a “contributor”) to log in with their own username and password.

3. That parent completes their section, and then the FAFSA is submitted.

Important: Only one parent needs to fill out the FAFSA. Which parent is used depends on the family situation:

• Married parents (to each other): Both parents’ information is included, but only one parent logs in as the contributor.

• Divorced/separated parents: Use the parent the student lived with most in the past 12 months (or who provided more financial support).

  • If that parent is remarried, the stepparent’s info must be included too.

• Single, never married parent: Only that parent’s info is needed.

Why act quickly?

• Some financial aid is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.

• Many colleges require the FAFSA on file before awarding scholarships.

• Even if you don’t think you qualify, it’s still worth completing.

• You’ll need your 2024 tax information to complete the form.
