A big thank you to our wonderful room moms who helped our class celebrate Valentine's Day a little early! The students had a blast creating their Valentine's boxes, playing games, and sharing treats with each other. Thank you!

New Behavior Notifications

To streamline reporting and accountability, HCS teachers in grades K-4 will be implementing behavior notice emails to keep parents informed. Behavior notices will be emailed when a student chooses to be defiant at school, physically harms another student or teacher, is unkind to others, displays improper behavior, or uses inappropriate language. The notice is not limited to these behaviors, however. The first behavior notice serves to let you know what happened at school and that the classroom teacher addressed it with the student. The second behavior notification will explain what happened at school and that an administrator spoke with the student about their behavior choices. If a 3rd email needs to be sent, a conference will be scheduled with the parents, classroom teacher and an administrator to address the recurring behavior issues. If your student receives a behavior notification, please do not contact the teacher but discuss it with your student first. If you have questions about this new policy, please reach out to Mrs. Schmidt. 

New Student Enrollment

Spread the word about Hanford Christian! If you know of families interested in enrolling their children at Hanford Christian School, please share this priority enrollment information with them.
