Item Newsletter, Issue #11, January 18, 2021
Hello HW Families!

Happy Martin Luther King Jr Day!  We hope everyone enjoyed last Monday's Assembly in celebration of his life and legacy.  The MLK folder is still "live" on Schoology, please take a look at the many resources and volunteer opportunities to honor his life's work and mission. In the words of Dr. King, "The time is always right to do what is right."

It will be an exciting day tomorrow as HW welcomes students and staff back to campus- hurray! A very special thank you to the HW Custodial Staff as they continue to keep our school safe and clean for all. Please make sure to shout a "thank you" as you see this hard working crew around campus.

Our second installment of World Travelers is around the corner, as well as the re-scheduled evening of magic! Stay tuned for more details. 

We are entering those quiet days of winter that tend to get a little long; let's make an effort to stay positive, be kind and rock that Raccoon Pride!

A Reminder about Voluntary Travel

With Parent Teacher Conferences approaching, along with days off of school, a reminder that the District remains unable to provide remote instruction to voluntary travelers during travel-based quarantines. No decision has been made by the District at this time about Spring Break Travel. Thank You!
Valentine's Day Celebrations

Guidelines around Valentine's Day celebrations are forthcoming. We will share details shortly around what is approved for classrooms.
