📣 HAES Weekly Updates 📣
📢 A Note Regarding State Testing (EOG)
EOG testing is for our 3rd–6th grade students, but we need ALL Panthers to help us make this testing season successful!
🔒 During EOG testing, it is extremely difficult to check students out early. Students who are actively testing are NOT allowed to leave the testing room — even after they finish — until the entire class (and surrounding testing areas) are complete. We must keep all testing environments secure.
🏫 This also means that students in Kindergarten–2nd grade must remain in their classrooms during testing times. Movement throughout the main building can cause disruptions, and many of our Teacher Assistants are serving as testing proctors during this time.
🔊 Lastly, please remember that HAES is an older building, and our classrooms can hear outside noise very easily. Conversations, car noise, music, and other sounds can travel into testing areas. While we know we cannot prevent every disruption, we greatly appreciate everyone helping us keep noise levels down as much as possible.
🔒 Please refrain from early dismissals on testing days.
🍫 World’s Finest Chocolate
All World’s Finest Chocolate money is now due. Please make sure this is turned in to your child’s teacher ASAP. At this time, we still have several students who signed up to sell chocolate, received a box, and have not yet turned in payment. We appreciate your help in getting this taken care of in a timely manner.
