This week we are celebrating Teacher and Staff Appreciation at Hannum School! We are so lucky to have a supportive parent community who is so generous and supportive, I know you join me in wishing our incredible staff a wonderful week of feeling valued, spoiled and pampered.

Friday morning, you may see a photographer outside taking pictures. They are from Van Gogh Photography Studio and are taking candid photos for our 2022-2023 Yearbook. We are also taking pictures of our grades 3-5 students that have participated in Hannum Clubs throughout the year.

IT"S BACK! Students will be trying to earn Positive Office Referrals (P.O.R.) again for the last month of school, when negative behaviors can begin to accelerate! The referrals will go home the following day so you can see the positive choices that your child has made. Every evening 3 referrals will be chosen for Good News Calls of the Day to happen. If your child's POR is chosen, I will be calling you to tell you what an awesome kid you have! Thank you for your support when the call comes in. Good News Phone Calls began today and will go until May 30.

The Hannum Library is now closed for the remainder of the school year. This week we are finishing packing up and after that demolition will begin for our beautiful new space next school year!! We are also excited that our school office will also get a face lift!

Enrollment is continuing for the D123 Summer Programs! Summer Programs are mostly at Kolmar School this year, with Special Education programming at Hometown School.

Now that everyone will be coming back to school, our traffic issues will return as well. Please see the attached map for where to drop off and where you can park if you want to get out and walk your child to their line.

Here are some reminders for helping us get kids in and out of school safely:

• PLEASE pull up as far as you can go when you are letting students out of the car.
• PLEASE do not park across the street and have kids run across to get either to the school or back to your car.
• PLEASE be patient as kids are getting out of the car.
• PLEASE do not block the entrance and exit of the school parking lots and
• PLEASE do not park in the driveway of St. Germaine School. (You may pull into the spots in their parking lot, but do not park in the driveway....except for next week...see above)

Our school will be serving nutritious breakfast and lunch every school day. If you qualify, you can receive free or reduced lunches. Please call the office if you need information about how to qualify. The cost of breakfast is $1.50 and the cost of lunch is $3.05.

BREAKFAST will be served in the main hall of our school beginning at 8:10-8:25am. Students will enjoy their breakfast in our multi-purpose room and then will go to their line to start the day.

LUNCH will be ordered with your child's classroom teacher every morning. Students will be able to choose from 2 choices. Students can also bring a home lunch and only order a milk. Milk only is 60 cents and students can choose white or chocolate. You can add money to your child's meal account through Skyward. https://www.d123.org/departments/operations/lunch-menus

DOUBLE LUNCH Many of our older students like to order a double lunch. I ask if they have permission and they say they do... then parents are surprised that the lunch balance goes down so quickly. I have told our 4th and 5th grade students that they need to have permission to do this, so please speak to your children about this.

LUNCH TIMES:

Grade 5 eats from 11:00-11:25

Grades 3 and 4 eat from 11:25-11:50

Kindergarten eats from 11:55-12:20

Grades 1 and 2 eat from 12:20-12:45
