Dear Hastings School Families,
As we enter this surprisingly warm month of February, the learning is in full swing. It has been great to have 4 full weeks of school for students to get back into the routines of their classroom. As I transition into this role, I have thoroughly enjoyed being a presence in the building for your students. Whether I am visiting classrooms, spending time at lunch, or saying hi in bus line, it always makes my day to see their smiling faces. Below are a few reminders and updates:
Attendance Reminder:
As we reach the midpoint of the school year, it is a good time to reflect on the importance of regular on-time attendance to school. Schools are required by law to keep track of attendance. If we identify a student whose absences exceed seven full day sessions or fourteen half-day sessions, or is otherwise exhibiting an attendance problem, which includes tardiness, we will reach out to parents/guardians to ensure they are aware. Let us all work together to ensure that school attendance for all students is regular and timely. Thank you everyone! More...
