Open House, Picture Day and Bounce Pages!!

Open House
Open House is almost here and we hope you will be able to make it.  Open House is planned for September 29th from 6:30 – 8.  Open House is a great opportunity to learn about the curriculum, see your child’s classroom and meet the teachers and staff.  Please remember that Open House is not a time to discuss individual concerns about your child with the teacher.  Should you have specific concerns as it relates to your child we ask that you please reach out via email or phone.  We will also have sign up sheets available for Parent Teacher Conferences, which are coming in November.  Parent Teacher Conferences is the time to discuss individual concerns and to find out how your child is doing.  

This year at Open House we will also have a One Night  Only Scholastic Book Fair!  The Book Fair will be running all night long and is a great way to pick up some new books.


Lastly, there will be a presentation at 7:30 in the Auditorium from the District Emergency Response Team....or DERT for short.  The DERT Team will be discussing safety and emergency planning as it related to HBB.  See you all there!

Picture Day!


BoxTOPS Reminder
Please remember that we collect BOXTOPS!!  We have our first collection coming up and some fun surprise contests!!

Go Gold!
Please encourage your child to wear gold on Friday September 30th!!  We would like all students and staff to wear gold and we are accepting voluntary $1 donations to help raise money and awareness to fight childhood cancer.  All donations will go to Dana Farber Cancer Research.

Thank you in advance for helping us forward the cause and for spreading the word!!


1st Grade Reunion!
Attention all 1st grade students!!  On September 27th please join us at the public library for a Movie Reunion Night.  This is a great way for 1st grade students reconnect, with their K friends from both schools while also getting the chance to watch The Jungle Book!!


Bounce Pages
Sometimes the way we teach math is very different from the way we all learned.  We know this new approach works because our kids are doing things mathematically in 3rd grade that we used to do in 5th grade!  It can be challenging, however, as a parent to help your child.  If you find yourself confused at times or wanting to learn more please check out Bounce Pages.  Bounce Pages is a great new APP that allows you to take a picture of your child's Envisions 2.0 Homework and watch 2 videos connected to the lesson of the day.  There is no sign up required.  Check it out!
