Reminder: Back to School Bash is TONIGHT from 5:00-7:00 PM!
Each Pirate and their family will need to check in the the HMS Gym lobby to confirm that online registration, the transportation form, and the meal application form are completed. If its not completed, we have a station for you to complete those before you go meet your child's teacher. Once you are done with those items, you will be given a flyer that shows you all of the booths to visit.
Please DO NOT bring school supplies tonight! We suggest sending all of your child's needed supplies on the first day and wait to send any requested items on Friday.
Finally, please be sure to pay the $30 class fee with your child's homeroom teacher tonight as well.
We can't wait to see you!
Mr. Cooper
Unfortunately, our building is not finished enough for us to host Back to School Back at HES. Therefore, our Back to School Bash will now take place at Heath Middle School Gym.
This will give students to opportunity to meet their teacher and for you all to visit all of the additional booths as well.
We ask that you not bring school supplies to Back to School Bash as we will not be able to transport over 500 student's supplies back to HES.
I really wish we could have all of our Pirates and their families see the classrooms and the updates tomorrow night, but unfortunately the school is not ready.
We are so excited to see our Pirates between 5:00-7:00 tomorrow at Heath Middle School Gym!
Mr. Cooper

We have had some very large storage containers that were delivered this morning and they are now blocking the end of our parade route and location for Kona Ice. Therefore, we are going to make a change to our original plan. 5th Grade will parade through the school for their "last time." If you are able to attend, we ask that all parents/guardians line up at the main entrance doors, as you will be the end of our parade. We are encouraging our 5th graders to hug and thank their parents as they find you. From there, we will all walk to the Kona Ice truck and then make our way to the soccer field.
We are so excited to celebrate our 5th grade Pirates today, so we hope you are able to join us!



H.E.S. Families-

Mr. Cooper
Reminder: Tomorrow is Idiom Day! Please dress as your favorite idiom!
Additionally, our 5th Grade Musical, Finding Nemo is coming next week at the Clemens Fine Arts Center (WKCTC Auditorium). Our 5th graders have been working so hard and we want to make sure all of our students see the performance. Therefore, we will be busing all of our K-5 students to WKCTC on Monday to watch the show at 12:30. Our K-4 students will eat lunch before we leave to go to WKCTC. Our 5th Grade will be bused earlier to prepare for the show and will return a little later than the rest of the grade levels to get out of costumes, clean up, etc.
Our official production of Finding Nemo Kids will be on Tuesday, March 31st at 6:00 PM! Please make plans to attend!
Please let us know if you have any questions!
