The school news is a completely student-led operation. They work hard creating and putting together content each week! They analyze and critique each episode as a class on Mondays and aim to improve each week. Thank you for supporting and encouraging our students. Here is a link for this week's episode.

Picking up a student during school hours
|
To ensure the safety of all students, our staff will not call students to the office to leave early for the day until the person picking them up has presented a valid ID and completed the sign-out process. Please plan accordingly for appointments, allowing extra time for this procedure. Additionally, it's important to keep your student's contact information current. If someone not listed on your student's emergency contact list arrives to pick them up, we will not be able to release your student to them.

Advisory on phones outside of school
|
We have started getting reports of questionable activities that students are doing with their phones outside of school hours. Of course, we don’t monitor student phone usage as phones are not allowed during the school day at Hayes. That said, students often tell us about TikTok and YouTube videos that they watch after school that most parents would not find appropriate for 10 and 11 year olds. Once students see alarming things, they cannot unsee them. We also are occasionally asked to intervene in inappropriate SnapChat or Instagram conversations that happen outside of school. Most social media sites require members to be 13 years old before even creating an account, but kids often bypass that by simply saying they are old enough. For the safety of all, if you allow your child to have a cell phone, please consider setting parental controls and carefully monitor their use.

If you plan to volunteer or need to enter the building for an extended period of time, please fill out this application. This is REQUIRED when coming to volunteer in our building. It takes a couple of days for the background check to be completed, so please plan accordingly based on your volunteering schedule
|
Fall is upon us and that brings lost jackets, sweatshirts, sweats to the lost and found table. There is already an overflow of lost items with limited storage space. If you know your student had a certain clothing item and you have not seen it in a while please come and check out the lost and found. Items that are not claimed before Thanksgiving break will be donated to Ken’s Coat Closet.
