Hero Happenings!
Hellstern Middle School Newsletter, Springdale, AR
2020-2021 Issue 4, August 10, 2020
From the principal......Questions answered....
- We've gotten questions about 7th grade teams being announced. This is a more complicated process because of electives. We just got guidance on rules for band and choir as well. Because of this, we are delayed. I don't know yet, when we will announce, but our counselors are working constantly. Stay tuned!
- Nurse Amy Coile will be back in the building every day starting Thursday, August 13th. She will be there from 7:45-3:15. If you have a child that takes medication daily and you need to drop something off, we will be ready!
- Start practicing with masks! I had a parent share with me this week, that when her child is "on device" he/she has to wear a mask. She was working on getting the student acclimated. I think this is a GREAT idea. I have noticed that my own comfort with a mask has increased greatly as I practice more. I recommend doing this to get ready for August 24th.
- Students can bring their supplies on the first day of school. They will be in advisory all day, so there will be plenty of time to organize and get supplies in lockers.
