Hillsdale Herald

We have several exciting events next week! Monday we will have grade level assemblies to help students use our PBIS expectation of caring to understand the impact of hunger and homelessness in a developmentally appropriate way. We will share a short story and view a short video about food pantries. In support of Hunger and Homelessness Awareness we will wear Red for Dress Up Day on Thursday 11/21. Our PTO meeting is also Thursday 11/21, 6:30pm - join us to learn about the Wait til 8th initiative and the impact cell phones and social media have on children from our school counselor, Mrs. Ronayne, and school psychologist, Dr. Leonhardt. Finally our students will participate in the annual Turkey Trot on Friday 11/22 during their specials - be sure they are wearing sneakers and dress for the weather.

Conferences

We hold Parent Teacher Conferences the week of Thanksgiving - Monday 11/25 1-4pm, Tuesday 11/26 1-4 & 5-8pm; Wednesday 11/27 8-11am. Students are dismissed at 12:05 on these days and lunch is NOT served at school. There is NO SCHOOL for students on Wednesday 11/27 - Friday 11/29. If you have not scheduled your conference and need assistance, please call Mrs. Taggart in the office.

Thanksgiving Break

There is no school Wed Nov 27 - Fri Nov 29. We wish all families a wonderful Thanksgiving and break. May this time be filled with family and fun! We will see everyone back at school on Monday Dec 2nd. Our next newsletter will be sent Dec 6th.

Lost and Found Update

Please take a moment to put your child's name in their coats, sweatshirts and lunchboxes. We try to return all lost items to children when we have a name. Our next donation will be made before Winter Break.

Food Drive

Thank you to all the donations we have already received! We will continue accepting donations through next Thursday 11/21 to support local families.

Each month our school counselor, Mrs. Ronayne, and our school psychologist, Dr. Leonhardt provide some information on a variety of topics such as mental health and social emotional learning.
