Family Newsletter

Dear Hyde-Addison ES Families,

Welcome to June! As we wrap up the school year, we look forward to seeing our students, each and every day, until the last day of school on June 22, 2023. Attendance matters.

Additionally, as a part of our continued outreach efforts, the Hyde-Addison school community will participate in a toiletry drive, June 5-16, 2023, to support those in need. More information is below.

Kindest Regards,

Dr. Calvin Hooks, Principal

Hyde-Addison Elementary School

Thank you for helping students enjoy a fun spirit week!

Families who are fully enrolled for next school year received a stand alone newsletter from us with information for next school year. If you did not receive it but believe your child should be enrolled, please reach out to the main office at your earliest convenience so that it can be fixed. You can email hyde.addison@k12.dc.gov or call 202-282-0170. If you still need to enroll, click here or if you plan to attend another school in the fall let us know you don't plan to return.

Here at Hyde, you can show your support for Pride! Hyde-Addison Pride week will be Monday, June 5- Friday June 9th. Students and staff may support by wearing the colors of the rainbow every day of next week.

The elections for parents/guardians to serve on the Local School Advisory Team (LSAT) for school year 2022-23 are now open. Elections will be open through June 16 and the results will be shared in the newsletter on June 23. Vote for up to 4 candidates. Ballots with more than 4 candidates selected will not be counted. VOTE HERE!

Feel free to RSVP!

As we prepare to launch into school year 2023-24, we would like to invite new and returning families to join us for the engagement opportunities outlined below. Together, we will share important information, ask questions, and build connections as a school community.

In order for the school team to ensure the safety of students during dismissal processes, the policy is that Parents/Guardians arrive at the main entrance of the school building before 2:50pm if they need to pick up their child for early dismissal. This provides enough time for our staff to communicate, for students to gather their belongings, and for us to supervise them safely exiting with the appropriate adult before we prepare to do the same for the general dismissal students, who begin transitioning shortly thereafter.

If you would like a Kids Ride Free Card for your student, please fill out this short form. They will be sent home in students' backpacks on Mondays.

So good we're doing it twice! The Hyde-Addison PTA is bringing back a 4-day DoubleGood Gourmet Popcorn sale from Monday, June 5 @ 12pm - Friday, June 9 @ 12pm! - just in time for the end of the school year and graduation gifts. It's also the perfect snack for summer vacation!

As with our sale in the Fall, our sales goal is $10,000 with 50% of all sales coming to the PTA! Sign up to sell popcorn today by downloading the DoubleGood app, entering our event code: ZXZ YBZ, and then setting up your online store. Popcorn ships directly to the buyer!
