FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK

As we move into the holiday season it means more time with families and time away from school. It is also time for our Winter sports to begin competing. We have so many opportunities for our young people to be involved in school, in activities and in our community. Hayes offers twenty-seven varsity sports throughout the school year. We also have a number of organizations that students can join such as Key Club, Chess Club, In the Know, Speech and Debate Club and JROTC. We are also starting sign-ups for our House Clubs that will meet during school hours (House time) for students who may have after school commitments. We will be offering clubs such as Video Games, D & D, Classic Cars, Spanish, 80’s Music, Anime, Crafts, Cops 2.0 and more to give students the opportunity to meet new friends, share a common interest and learn about new topics. This is one more way that Delaware Hayes High School is different from other schools. Providing time during the school day to help students and staff make connections and build relationships helps to enhance our school culture. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and thank you all.

Library Musings

Encourage your student to join Battle of the Books for their House. We read great books and then play trivia about them as a team (students don't have to speak if they don't want to and you only have to read one of the books). Participants will also get extra time with author Neal Shusterman when he visits in person in February. Sign up here!

Live homework help from 2pm-11pm every day plus a 24 hour Writing Lab. Visit delawarelibrary.org/research and look for Brainfuse HelpNow! If you don’t remember your Delaware Library card, see Ms. Ressler in the library!

SENIORS! TIME TO ORDER YOUR CAP AND GOWN!

SENIORS - If you have not ordered your cap and gown yet, please order online no later than January 15th. If you are unable to place your order by January 15th, you must reach out to Mrs. Backus Backussu@delawarecityschools.net to make alternative arrangements. Please be sure to include your name, height and weight in the email. If you do not place an order or reach out to Mrs. Backus by January 15th, we can not guarantee delivery and/or the correct size prior to graduation.

School Meals are NOT free this year but why?

The USDA made it possible for school nutrition programs to serve all students free meals through "waivers" during the school years; 20/21 and 21/22 due to the pandemic. Congress did not extend these waivers for the upcoming school year, 22/23, which means meals are regularly priced.

Please be sure to fill out a meal benefit application for the school year, 2022/2023 for free or reduced priced meals to see if your child(ren) qualify.

If you submit an application for your child(ren) and are approved, you may also benefit by qualifying for:

- instructional fee waivers

- P-EBT benefits through the extended time period.

- Housing & Utilities benefits and more!

Parents with children new to the district and those who have not yet filled out an application for this school year should complete one through the MySchoolsApp online application. Paper applications are also available in all school buildings and by request to rathjesa@delawarecityschools.net

Your child's application is only good for one school year and must be submitted every year to qualify for meal benefits.
