First Day is Almost Here!

The first day of school is Tuesday September 5th.  Doors open at 8:40 am!  We have had a very busy summer getting everything ready for another great year at HBB and we can't wait to get started.  Have a great Labor Day weekend, see you next week!!!!  Here are a couple important reminders for the first day of school.

Label all Your Stuff!
Please make sure to label all your child's belongings!  Every year our lost and found is packed with all sorts of clothes, lunch boxes, hats and gloves!  If your child's name is written on their stuff we will be sure to get it back to them.

How Your Child Gets Home
Please do not forget to send in your form that we sent home over the summer that lets us know how your child gets home each day over the first week of school.

Drop Off
If you are dropping off your child on day 1 please remember that parent drop off in the morning occurs at the front of the building (Mayflower Ave.).  Doors open at 8:40 am.  We ask that parents stay in line with all the other cars.  Do not cut around each other after your child exits the car.  Please do not let your child out of the car until we signal to do so and do not drop your child in the parking lot.  We ask that everyone please be patient in the first couple of days as it often takes a few days to get everything moving smoothly.  If everyone cooperates drop off is a quick and smooth process.  Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Breakfast
We would like to encourage all students to eat a healthy breakfast every morning. Did you know breakfast is available to ALL interested students? If you have a hard time getting your kids out the door in the morning maybe one solution is to have them eat their breakfast with us. We have allotted time each morning for students to go to the cafeteria to get their breakfast and we have a . If you are interested in learning more please give us a call.

Safe to School
Please remember to call the Safe to School number listed below whenever your child is absent from school. We ask that you call as soon as you can.
