Family Update
August 23, 2026
Good afternoon, families!
We hope everyone enjoyed their weekend! THANK YOU to so many families who attended last week's Open House! It was one of our best turn-outs!
Please remember that TOMORROW IS PICTURE DAY! Even if families do not intend on purchasing photos, ALL students will have their pictures taken as these are what we use for our yearbook:-)
Tuesday at Holly Hall will be WORLD DAY OF BULLYING PREVENTION- We are celebrating a day later due to picture day. Students are encouraged to wear BLUE to show solidarity and promote kindness and inclusion.
We will host 2 ALICE DRILLS this week. On Tuesday we will practice as a school and Friday we will practice again alongside county representatives and our local police department. IMPORTANT: Please note that our campus will be closed on Friday from 1:15 - 2:15. If you intend to pick up your child during that time, please arrive closer to 1:00. Thank you!
We are excited for our first PTO MEETING this Tuesday at 5:00! Our Parent-Teacher Organization will meet to plan upcoming events or to discuss possible family workshops. We hope you will join us and consider joining our PTO. PTO dates are listed below as well as a welcome letter from our PTO president, Mrs. Tracy Hobbs.
HHES LOVES VOLUNTEERS! Please check out the form below for upcoming training opportunities!
*Also, if you are interested in volunteering an hour or 2 (or 3...) tomorrow for picture day, please email Mrs. Reckner at ndreckner@ccps.org. Times are from 9:20 - 12:00 and then again from 1:00 - 2:30!
We have received a couple of messages about difficulty reading our Smore newsletter. Please see the following response from Smore: If you are having trouble viewing text from the newsletter on your phone, that often happens when phones are set to DARK MODE.
*In addition, we will change templates away from the Notebook in an effort for better viewing from your phone.
SAVE THE DATE: Our HHES Trunk or Treat Extravaganza will take place on Friday, October 30th. We are happily accepting candy donations to make this event SWEET! Please send any donations to the office and contact Mr. Bill Clouser at wlcouser@ccps.org if you would like to reserve a space to host a trunk!
