Greetings Hiawatha Families,

It’s hard to believe that family conferences are already here! We’re looking forward to connecting with families next week to celebrate student progress and share goals for the months ahead. If you haven’t yet scheduled a time with your child’s teacher, please reach out to them directly to set up a conference.

There will be no school on Thursday or Friday next week.

It seems fall has officially arrived; the cooler mornings and warmer afternoons have begun! This is the time of year when our Lost and Found starts to fill up quickly. If your child is missing a jacket or sweatshirt, please stop by the front office to take a look.

Finally, a reminder that our PTO will be hosting a Fall Fest and Free Winter Clothing Swap this Saturday from 2:00–5:00 pm in the gymnasium. It’s a great chance to connect with other families, enjoy some seasonal fun, and pick up winter gear if you need it. We hope to see you there!

Warmly,
Kolby Snellenberger
Principal
