Encourage your children to thank their teachers.

For our Cinco de Mayo activities on May 5, we need donations of newspaper and large boxes ---- large enough for a child to fit into!

On this date, students will be learning about Cinco de Mayo traditions and about Mexican culture. We will end the day with a parade of "floats" made by the students.

If you can donate any of these items, please send them to school by May 4.

Mrs. Phillips will continue to be in and out of the office due to her Dad's illness.

If you need Mrs. Phillips, don't hesitate to email (jlphilli@k12.wv.us) or call / text to 304 613 8928.

Teachers and staff members are willing to assist in any way possible during my absences.

Mrs. Golden will be sending a link and a date for the next PTO meeting!

Our students in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade will be taking their end of the year state testing, the WVGSA, in May.

The schedule for our testing is:

May 11 - Reading

May 12 - Math

May 13 - Writing

May 18 - Science - 5th grade only

As you schedule doctor appointments, days off, etc. please avoid these dates as much as possible. All students will need to take the tests and it is much easier for them to take the test with their classmates.

The following end of year field trips have been planned.

Parents are encouraged to attend these trips.

May 11 - PK, K, 1st, 2nd Grade visit Hovatter's Zoo

May 18 - 3rd & 4th Grade - Go to East Marion Park and Launchpad Trampoline Park

May 24 - 5th Graders Visit Pittsburgh Zoo

*** Students must ride the bus to the field trip but may be picked up by parents at the end of the trip.

Thank you for donating to the Upshur County Humane Society.

Our Core Beliefs / Mission

We at HES are dedicated to providing all students with knowledge and skills to become college and career ready in an environment emphasizing the PAX Good Behavior Game, which includes peace, productivity, health and happiness with the core belief “I better my world, and I better myself.”

It is our desire to:

- Provide a nurturing, consistent environment which emphasizes the development of the individual child’s social, emotional, physical, and academic growth.

- To teach all children so they may achieve their highest academic potential utilizing authentic learning experiences, to build a foundation to become college and career ready, and to be lifelong learners.

- To guide all children in becoming leaders, problem solvers, and listeners.

- To encourage appropriate relationships through parent and community involvement in the school.

Our Goal:

Hodgesville Elementary School will have an increase of at least 1.0 GE growth for 40% of our students as based on beginning of the year to end of the year data for 2021 – 2022 end of year assessments for Math and English Language Arts.
