PBIS Quarter 1 Reward Trip: We are excited for our Quarter 1 reward field trip to Grace Adventure Park and pizza lunch at Shevans Park this Thursday. We will leave around 8:20 for a 9:30 start time at Grace Adventure Park. We will rotate through 4 stations and then arrive at Shevans Park around 12 for a picnic pizza lunch. We should arrive back at school around 2:00. Parents that are attending the trip should plan to meet us at Grace Adventure Park a little before 9:30. (Reminder: No siblings or non-HIES children, please.) Students should wear comfortable clothes, close-toed shoes, and layers for the weather. They can bring a water bottle, snack and additional lunch if they want something other than pizza. *Remember that all behavior and attendance criteria must be met through October 21 to remain eligible for the trip.
Thanksgiving Family Lunch: Our Thanksgiving family lunch will be on Wednesday, November 18, and we invite you to have lunch with your child(ren) that day. Adult meals will be $8.50 and should be pre-paid by Monday, November 2. All HIES students will eat free, as always! Letters will come home in student folders on Monday with your assigned lunch time. Please send the form and money back by November 2 if you plan to attend. We look forward to having you join us!
