Dear HPS Families,
It is the beginning of our second week out of school, and at this time, we are out until April 24. If that changes, announcements will be made on social media as well as in the local paper. This is a difficult time for all of us. Please know that you and your children are in my thoughts on a daily basis.
Meals will be provided each day this week. Our pick-up time will continue to be from 10:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. Academic packets will be distributed today and will also be available online at dyercs.net.
Please continue to monitor the district website, the HPS website, and the HPS Facebook page, as this is a great way to learn about any changes. Each grade level also has a Facebook group, so please join the appropriate page if you have not done so.
Our teachers are doing their best to check their emails regularly. If you have a question about any of the work that is provided, please email your child’s teacher. If you need the email address let us know.
We will also have someone answering the phone this week between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and
1:00 p.m. You can call during these times if you have any questions.
Please tell your children that we miss them and are thinking about them. We hope to see you soon.
Warmly,
Rena McKnight
We want to make sure you are connected to your child's teacher. If you are not already part of their classroom or grade level group, please join now. Teachers share lots of information that is relevant to their classrooms in these groups and it is a great way to stay involved and build classroom community.

On Wednesday we are going to celebrate World Kindness Day. If you have a cardigan, wear it. If you don’t have one still spend the day spreading kindness to all that you meet. A kind word, a simple gesture, or an act of service can go a long way in spreading kindness. Be a positive ripple of change, and be the change you wish to see in the world.
