Parent Teacher Conferences

With Parent Teacher Conferences behind us we would just like to follow up in regards to the importance of good communication. If you ever have a question about your child’s performance, or anything going on at school, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are always happy to talk, meet and answer any questions you have. Parent Teacher Conferences may be over but that does not mean it is too late to get your questions answered. We are very well aware that school performance is often directly tied to a good home school partnership so we would just like to remind everyone to please let us know if you ever have any questions!

Report Cards

Please be aware that report cards will be sent home on Friday March 18th. Should you have any questions at all about your child’s grades, their performance in school or if you simply need help understanding the report card please do not hesitate to give us a call.

Good Egg Challenge

It is time for another challenge! This one is one of our favorites! The next challenge is the Good Egg Challenge and requires students to engage in a project that will help make HBB a better place. In the past students have raised money for cancer, organized cleanup days, created anti-bully posters amongst other projects. This is a great way to learn about making a positive contribution to the school community while earning another challenge bead.

To participate in the Good Egg Challenge students must submit a form (found in the main office and on the blog) and have signed by their teacher.

Parent Teacher Conferences

We would just like to take a moment to remind parents about our upcoming Parent Teacher Conferences. You should have received a form from your child’s teacher either requesting a meeting or informing you that the teacher believes your child is progressing well and they do not feel a conference is required.

Please know that should you want to meet with your child’s teacher for a conference you can. When a teacher says they do not feel a conference is required they are just letting you know that they do not have any questions but all teachers are aware that you may have questions or concerns and you may want to meet. Simply let the teacher know and they would be happy to meet. Please do not hesitate to request a conference should you want one and please do not ever hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions, comments or concerns.

Attendance Champs

I am very proud to report that HBB had the highest attendance rate in the district for the month of February. Our attendance rate was 95.1% during a month of February where attendance typically slips due to illness etc. Great job HBB! Good school attendance is crucial to performance in school!

Freedom Trail Scholars

Our 5th Grade students were treated to an assembly this week about the American Revolution!  The Freedom Trail Scholars Program is an assembly where 2 actors take on multiple roles to entertain, educate and engage students to learn more about the American Revolution.  The kids seem to really enjoy the assembly!
