H.E.S. HAPPENINGS
Parent/Family Edition
Greetings Hopkins Elementary Families,
Can you believe it is already February? We are now halfway through our third nine weeks of this school year, and I want to take a moment to thank you for your continued support, especially with our new cell phone policy. I am pleased to report that this has not been a major issue for our school community.
As a reminder, the policy prohibits students from using cell phones and other personal electronic devices during the school day. This has helped create a focused learning environment for all our students.
As we continue through the semester, I encourage you to have daily conversations with your child about their level of engagement in class. We know that active participation is key to effective learning. Below, you will find a chart that outlines the 6 levels of engagement: disrupting, avoiding, withdrawing, participating, investing, and driving. Please encourage your child to strive to be a "driver" of their learning each day, as this will significantly support their overall growth.
Thank you for partnering with us in your child's education. If you have any questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership.
Warm regards,
Audrey White-Garner, M Ed.
Principal
Dear Families,
Hopkins' Hippos LOVE to read, write, and do math! We know that there are students who read, write, and do math each and every day at home and on the go. We want you to share your LOVE of literacy and math with us. Please snap a picture of you and your child(ren) reading, writing, and doing math. Share your photos to Facebook and be sure to tag Hopkins Elementary School. We will do several drawings throughout the month of February to see who goes home with a few special prizes that we LOVE!
We can't wait to see all of the ways you LOVE reading, writing, and math.
Love,
Mrs. Simwinji and Ms. Eadon
