Principal's Message

Highlanders Families,


Sonia Fernandez, our Office Manager extraordinaire, has been promoted to become
Foothill's Secretary for the Principal.  This a truly good thing for both Sonia and Foothill.  
For the past three years, she has been an integral part of so much of our positive momentum and how we strive to get better daily as a team at Hewes for students and families.  This will also draw Foothill and Hewes closer together.

Her last day at Hewes will be December 22nd. If are in the office, make sure to wish her well, and we know she will make us proud!

The Force is strong with Sonia. 

Congrats Sonia! You will be missed, but we are so thankful to have worked with you.


Mr. Kilian
Hewes Principal

  • Earning exemplary grades 
  • Showing improvement in grades
  • Demonstrating a positive attitude/mindset
  • Being responsible with schoolwork, school involvement, showing school spirit (participating in activities and dress-up days)
 
Use : R cards can be used in a variety of ways:
  • Purchase treats/Hewes gear/toys at the PBIS Store every day at lunch
  • Enter into the monthly school--wide drawings (pizza party w/ friends, Hewes gear, gift cards, etc.)
  • Purchase food items during school-wide events
 
Bands 
 

 
What : Students can earn a band for consistently displaying Respect, Responsibility, and Results. Once a month, teachers recognize one student per class
period.  
 
How:
  • Being kind/respectful to others
  • Earning exemplary grades 
  • Showing improvement in grades
  • Demonstrating a positive attitude/mindset
  • Being responsible with school work, school involvement, showing school spirit (participating  inactivities and dress-up days)
Use : Bands earn students many privileges including, but not limited
to:  
  • Early to lunch pass
  • Front of the Line at school-wide events
  • Monthly giveaway (treats, Hewes gear, etc.)
  • If you collect all 3, they can "trade up" for a JEDI band which allows participation in the end-of-year celebration day

 

 

 

 
Important!
