***And no school on Monday, April 8 for Eclipse, 2024!!

This past Monday, Mr. Chase was here to introduce the Kids Heart Challenge our students will be taking part in. Materials were sent home with your child today. Take a look at your convenience and use this Easter vacation do some fun outdoor activities as a family!

The boys ended their volleyball season lost last week in the Diocesan tournaments. Great job on an excellent season!

As always, no rest for our student-athletes as track season begins next week. Lots of great runners this year. Good luck on continued success!!

Tryouts for the 2024-2025 MHS Cheerleading team will be April 15-18. Any 8th graders interested should pick up a tryout packet in the main office (or print it out below). There will also be optional Open Gyms on Tuesday, April 2 and 9 from 5-7pm in the MHS main gym. Any questions, please contact Coach Brittney Scott at scottbk@msd19.org.

Congratulations to the following students for being chosen as our Students of the Month for March. The virtue for March was Respect.....thank you for being respectful students here at HCS. Picture coming next week!

At this rate, with all of the animals that have come into our classrooms....I am guessing next year we will have Classroom Pets like hippos, giraffes, and zebras!

On a serious note, this is one of the items I was proud that our teachers in the elementary grades took on this year: either a classroom pet or plants/flowers. It is a wonderful way to teach responsibility, patience and care at such a young age.

We had a young student get up super early on Tuesday because it was his day to feed the pet. Little things like that matter!

Re-enrollment has been sent to you via FACTs. Please re-enroll quickly so that we can plan on some budgetary items for next year. Reminder for our PreK / Kindergarten classes to re-enroll ASAP.

One thing we did last year was have an incentive for early "re-enrollees". Therefore, for ALL students (PreK though 8) if you re-enroll before April 30, your student(s) name will be entered in a drawing for a chance to win the following items:

***(2) dress down days

Tuition rates and the enrollment link can be found on the school webpage.

**In addition, we will again be offering the student-favorite IXL Summer Study where students will log hours in IXL to "stay fresh" on their studies in order to obtain incentives when they return. IXL will be open for those students who are enrolled. Information will be coming soon.

Our March winner for the Pre-Enrollment incentive is the Spain Family!

A "Friend of the School" who wished to remain anonymous took her weekend and made separate candy bags for each student in our school. Thank you so much for that kind gesture....you know who you are!

We have placed on line a bullying policy for HCS that will go into effect immediately. You can find information on our website under the "Current Students" Tab. You can also see it in the attachment below.

Of course, if you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out. This is a "fluid" policy that can (and should) change over time.
