Week 22
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
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.

January 31- Half Day: 11:30 dismissal
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. Enrollment begins for HCS alumni and families from foundational churches on February 5, and preschool families may submit their applications on February 12. Contact the office for enrollment information and an application. Open enrollment begins on February 25. All existing HCS families will be automatically reenrolled on January 12.
Please continue to help your child bring a water bottle to class each day. This helps us when we are playing outside and getting water quickly after recess and lunch, and PE.
In the mornings, please send me a quick email if you have a concern, question, or something you are wanting me to know about your child.

Here are the Math Facts for this week:
0+0, 0+1, 0+2, 0+3, 0+4, 0+5.
Please practice with your child using flashcards to help them memorize these facts. Our test will be on Thursday, January 25.
