Good Afternoon Panthers!
First and foremost Welcome Back to the 2024-2025 Academic Year. We are extremely excited to have everyone back and ready to learn. A few reminders for everyone this week:
1. Parents are allowed (but not required) to walk students in on the first day only. The doors will not open until 7:40am. Please note that at 8:15am we ask that all parents exit so that our day may begin.
2. Kindergarten and PreK parents we have staggered enrollment for the first few days of school. Please only come inside on your child's first day.
3. Please be extremely patient this week with bus drop off and pick up. As we get to know the students and families, we will get a better timeframe of when drop off and pick up will be. Please make sure that you sign up for the Here Comes the Bus App so that you will be able to track the bus in the future.
4. Parents, please make sure that you sign up for the REMIND app with your child's teacher. This is the fastest and most convenient way for communication between families and teachers. Many of our teachers give important information and updates on the REMIND app and without having it downloaded you may miss extremely important information.
5. Please be reminded that transportation changes cannot be made over the phone. These transportation changes must either be in writing or done in person. No changes or checkouts may occur after 2:00pm daily.
6. Tshirts are still on sale! IF you would like a HAES t-shirt please contact Mrs. Deal in the library.
We truly look forward to a wonderful year here at HAES and to see everyone tomorrow. Have a wonderful evening.


Menus for breakfast and lunch are posted! You can view menus on any school website., the mobile app, or below.
