Attendance in early grades builds a foundation for students in later grades. Students gain positive habits, strong academic foundations, and confidence to succeed throughout school. Research shows a direct correlation to chronic absenteeism and reading levels in 3rd grade!

Another assembly, another chance to celebrate our incredible Bearcats!
Mrs. McNutt’s 3rd grade class held onto the School Spirit Stick for yet another month by earning the highest attendance in the entire school. Even more exciting, the entire 3rd grade cohort achieved the best attendance for April and will enjoy a special field trip to watch A Diary of a Wimpy Kid at SMS—great job!
Our Students of the Month were also honored and treated to a special visit to the book vending machine.
Students who received positive office referrals were recognized as well, and their families will be notified of the many ways these students help make HES a better place.
Mrs. Gladson and Mrs. Tara selected grade-level winners who showed growth on their recent AimsWeb testing. These students were rewarded with a NeeDoh or a Dumpling for their dedication and effort.
And finally, our reading rockstars were celebrated! These students read 3 or 6 books to reach pearl or silver level status—an amazing accomplishment!
