At the meeting last night, the @washcovaschools Board voted to close schools on March 5, 2024 to accommodate election officials as they administer the Presidential Primary. Not quite as exciting as a Snow Day, but still important information!
Washington County School Board honored three board members tonight for decades of selfless service to the students of Washington County Schools. Thank you, Mrs. Elizabeth Lowe, Mrs.Megan Hamilton, and Mr. Bill Brooks for the work and dedication to the students of WCPS!

Our wonderful bus drivers at HPES!
Since winter is upon us, we wanted to let you know that we will be offering childcare on days that we have a delayed start (for example, 2-hour delays due to inclement weather). We recognize that schedule changes are a challenge for working parents, so we are excited to be providing childcare free of charge for families who wish to participate. If/when we have 2-hour delay days and you want to utilize our childcare service, you will need to bring your child to school because the buses will not run early on those days. We ask that you come in the school office to sign them in. We open daily at 7:40AM. Please call the school if you have any questions or need more info.
We heard that Allison Egan is on Santa’s “Nice List” this year! She has been chosen as the HPES 2023-2024 Teacher of the Year!

Santa pictures will be tomorrow and Wednesday. PK-2nd grade will have their pictures made tomorrow and 3rd-5th on Wednesday. If you want your children to have the picture made together, please indicate that on your order form or message the teacher and be specific about which day. Thank you!
On Tuesday, HPES First Grade hosted their first annual Charlie Brown Thanksgiving feast! The kids had a great time learning about Thanksgiving traditions and how to set a table, and they loved sharing Thanksgiving with their friends/classroom family!

Our awesome cafeteria staff does an amazing job everyday. On Nov. 16, HPES parents joined the students for Thanksgiving lunch. Mrs. Blevins said they served 739 people, and on a normal day they feed 300. They are truly Rock Stars everyday, but they really shined yesterday.
Don’t forget!!!
This Saturday Night!!!!
Be sure to join the John Battle Baseball Community this weekend for the Designer Purse BINGO! See posters for details.
