Week 3
Week 3
We had a busy first full week in Fifth Grade! I am proud of how the students are adjusting to getting back into a routine and working hard to complete tasks assigned to them! If any of you are interested in volunteering on our campus in any capacity please make sure you contact the office to get your Volunteer Training form. We love your help and willingness to work alongside us to keep our students safe! Please let Amalia Phillips know if you are willing to be a part of helping our students earn money for Hume Lake by volunteering for icecream sales! I know our freezer is stocked! If you are unable to access the form, her email is: amalia.chavez2009@gmail.com

Please be mindful of the dress code at our school. A full explanation of the dress code is found on P. 9 in the Parent/Student Handbook. Before your child leaves for school, please check that their shorts (6' inseam for 3rd and up) or skirt (for girls) are not too short, their shirts have sleeves and are not too short to show the midriff if their hand is raised, and that they have close toed shoes on. Leggings/bike shorts are only permitted for K-4th grade if the shirt is long enough to cover the bottom. Thanks for your help!
