Family Newsletter

Dear Hyde-Addison ES Families,

Thank you to all of the families who supported "Socktober"! We collected 2,061 pairs of brand new socks, for those in need.

Please be reminded that Math Night will be held on November 9, 2023, at 5:30pm and DC Public Schools will be closed on November 10, 2023, in recognition of Veterans Day.

As always, please feel free to email hyde.addison@k12.dc.gov, with any school specific inquiries.

Kindest Regards,

Dr. Calvin Hooks, Principal

Hyde-Addison Elementary School

Each year, DCPS asks all families to complete the Impact Aid survey to generate additional federal funds for DCPS. The surveys will be fully electronic using the Seamless platform.

Impact Aid Website

Here are the survey links:

1. English: https://forms.dc.gov/f/DCPSImpactAid_English

2. Spanish: https://forms.dc.gov/f/DCPSImpactAid_Spanish

3. French: https://forms.dc.gov/f/DCPSImpactAid_French

4. Amharic: https://forms.dc.gov/f/DCPSImpactAid_Amharic

5. Vietnamese: https://forms.dc.gov/f/DCPSImpactAid_Vietnamese

6. Chinese: https://forms.dc.gov/f/DCPSImpactAid_Chinese

With the holiday season fast approaching, we acknowledge that some families may require additional assistance. To indicate if you would benefit from some support, kindly click on the provided link here. Please note that completing the form does not ensure selection by the school's external partner. This information will only be shared with our Student Support Team.

Now's the time to set up your online shop for our upcoming Double Good Popcorn sale. This fundraiser helps you check some holiday gifts off your list while supporting the school! Our sales goal is $10,000 with 50% of all sales going to the PTA and the school.

Sign up to sell popcorn today in three simple steps - 1) downloading the DoubleGood app, 2) entering our event code: NXUBZX, and 3) setting up your online store. Popcorn ships directly to the buyer, making it easy to share with family and friends that aren't local.

The top ten sellers at Hyde will be entered into a raffle.

Thank you to the volunteers of this week's Halloween Parade Party. Your enthusiasm to show the kids a fun time made a big difference this year.

Thanks to everyone who has already participated in this year's Great Envelope Race, the PTA's biggest fundraiser of the year. To date, we have raised 64% and over $32,000 of our goal of $50,000. Help us bridge the gap between the school's operating budget and the funds provided by DCPS by donating to the Great Envelope Race today.

• Pick up a blue envelope in the main office and return it to your teacher or the main office with whatever amount you choose enclosed.
• Or make your donation online, either one-time at www.hydegift.com or recurring at www.hydemonthlygift.com.
• Ask family members like grandparents and neighbors to participate too!

While the suggested donation is $400 per student, all donations are appreciated and every dollar helps us provide things like books, curriculum materials and supplies, field trip scholarships, and professional development for Hyde-Addison's incredible teachers and staff.

School ends at 3:25pm and students are late being picked up after 3:30pm. Please be reminded that early dismissal ends at 2:50pm and we must clear the field for aftercare students to use.
