Greetings Parents!
What a great Homecoming Week! Patriot Pride was on full display throughout our schools and communities. It was wonderful to see our students, staff, families, and community come together
We are also settling into a terrific start to the school year. Our routines are taking shape, our classrooms are in a great rhythm, and our students have been doing an outstanding job. We are proud of the positive energy and enthusiasm we see each day!
Another exciting event at the Elementary School was our Student Council elections! We are proud of all the students who stepped forward to run for a position, share their ideas, and demonstrate leadership. Congratulations to those students who were elected to serve! We look forward to seeing our Student Council members represent their classmates, help strengthen our school community, and continue building Patriot Pride throughout the year.
Thank you to everyone who helped make Homecoming Week so special. It’s a great time to be a Patriot!
Have a fantastic week!
Todd Holthaus,
Elementary Principal/District Superintendent

CAR LINE(repeat):
The end of day pick up line is going great! Tips for child safety and improved flow:
Children should enter and exit your vehicle on the right/curb side. The left/driver side is the car passing lane.
-Enter the lot and passing lane SLOWLY!
-Stay with your vehicle in the line. No need to get out or walk to the front of the building.
-If you do need to go into the building, park your car in the lot.
-Notify the school your child is going to be picked up by someone different.
-Continue to be patient with each other!
PARENTS … STAY IN THE KNOW (repeat): With so much information coming at you throughout the year, the best places to watch are:
-Your email and seesaw from the District and classroom teachers.
-The H-BC Website: hbcpatriots.com
-Hbcpatriots app.
