Dear Parent/Guardian:

Summer is almost upon us!  But before we slip into summer mode we encourage you to read the important end-of-the-school-year information contained in this newsletter. And, yes, there is even information about the start of the next school year!

 

I also want to share some good news! The State Schools Chief Tom Torlakson announced on Tuesday, April 30th, that Hickman Charter School is being recognized as one of California's Elementary Distinguished Schools for 2014. As stated by Mr. Torlakson in his 2014 California Distinguished School Recognition letter:

 

I am pleased to inform you that your school has successfully completed the California Distinguished School application process and is being recognized as one of our 424 California Elementary Distinguished Schools for 2014. This award is a direct reflection of the dedication, hard work, and vision of your school's educational community.

STEM MAKER FAIRE - May 15, 2014, 4:30 - 7:30 pm

Project Drop-Off Wednesday, May 14th, 2:00 - 4:00 pm,
Multi-Purpose Room on the Hickman Campus

For those with projects entered in the STEM / Maker Faire, project drop-off is scheduled for Wednesday, May 14th from 2:00 - 4:00 pm in the HCS Multi-Purpose Room. Other arrangements for drop-off can be made by contacting your EC. Our McHenry site can also be used for drop-off by arrangement. If your project requires significant set-up it is best that you set it up directly in the Multi-Purpose room on the 14th.

In order for staff to be able to adequately evaluate each project we need to have the project no later than Wednesday, May 14th. Projects dropped off the day of the fair may not receive proper display space and/or evaluation.
