If your child arrives after 8:00 a.m., please enter the building with your child and sign them in for the day.

If the lobby doors are closed, please enter the building with your child!!!

October 12 at 5:30 p.m.

Families are invited to school to hear about grade level skills AND to make walking tacos with their children!!

Our school has a Comfort Closet - a closet filled with supplies!

If a student needs a change of clothes, shampoo, soap, etc. we have it available.

Each of classrooms will be going on a "field trip" to the comfort closet with Miss Barr in the next few weeks. So, if your child comes home with a personal hygiene item, it is because they visited the comfort closet in our building.

If at any time you need hygiene supplies for your child, please let us know!!

Our 1st quarter conferences will be held on Thursday, October 7 from 4:00 - 6:00 p.m.

We hope to see you!!

Mrs. Taylor's kindergartners learned to take pictures with their iPad. Then they used the markup tool to add the beginning letter sound to their picture. At the end, they were able to share their iPad screen on the classroom screen!

Seeing our youngest students using technology to learn was amazing!

Way to go, Mrs. Tenney and kindergartners!

Any student who has parents in attendance will receive an Inchy Vending Machine coin to purchase a book from the vending machine.

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.
