Teacher Appreciation Week!
Thank you for all you do!

Wonderful Teacher

With a special gift for learning
And with a heart that deeply cares,
You add a lot of love
To everything you share,
And even though
You mean a lot,
You'll never know how much,
For you helped
To change the world
Through every life you touched.
You sparked the creativity
In the students whom you taught,
And helped them strive for goals
That could not be bought,
You are such a special teacher
That no words can truly tell
However much you're valued
For the work you do so well.

Today is
"Secretary Appreciation Day!"

Our School Secretary
Seven band-aids, a bloody nose,
Forgotten lunches, bright hellos,
Twisted ankles, Ritalin pills,
Five calls home, two orange juice spills,
A lost Jacket, a stain to soak,
an ice packet, zipper that broke
Ripped pair of pants, some muddy shoes,
Dog in the hall, a purple bruise,
Cupcakes to class, lozenge for throat,
Two peeved parents, a tardy note.
Janitor found, a stomach ache.
Papers copied, announcements to make.
Our Secretary "Jane" has lot to do.
We think she helps our principal, too.

We love our secretary Mrs. Jane Dyndiuk here at HES!
She does a lot for our parents, students, staff and our
principal Mr. Bailey. Jane is a hard worker and makes us all

ISAT TESTING FOR HES

Mon, 09 Apr 2012 00:00:00 -0600

HES 3rd, 4th and 5th graders
will start testing for ISATS on

APRIL 16th

Here is our schedule!

UPDATED 2012 Spring ISAT Testing Schedule

Getting ready for the ISAT requires more
than just studying at school.

Here's what you can do at home to help prepare your child for ISATS.

Students can log in to Study Island at home and work on skills
to prepare them for ISATS. ALL students know how to log in.

Breakfast: Get your child in the habit of taking time for a nutritious breakfast every day.
Even toast and a piece of fruit will provide body and brain energy.
(A heavy breakfast can make you sleepy.)

Sleep: Get your child into a regular sleep routine.
Then stick to it! Most children need at least
eight hours of sleep each night.

Exercise: Encourage our child to exercise every day.
Exercise increases oxygen to the brain and and
helps with thinking and memory.

Finally: Give your child positive energy for testing!
Let your child know that the test will have some difficult questions on it.
All of the questions are not supposed to be easy. Encourage them to
take their time and do their best work.
To think Win-Win!
