Tomorrow morning we will be hosting our family breakfast from 7:30am-8:30am.
Our parking lots on the north side of the building and on the west side of the park will be open for parent parking as well as along the streets.
*Please do not park anywhere in the circle drive tomorrow morning. *
We will have many parents who will not be able to stay for breakfast and will be needing to drop off their students. As always, our main goal is to keep things moving as quickly and safely as possible out front during that busy time.
Please help us make this happen by:
-leaving the circle drive open for moving traffic.
-use crosswalks and sidewalks rather than walking through moving traffic
-be prepared to be patient, tomorrow will be much busier than a normal day
Thank you to the Sioux Falls Public Schools Education Foundation for catering in lunch from one of our favorite places!! We are blessed to have such wonderful partnerships in our community that care for our staff here at Hayward.
Take a little walk down Candy Cane Lane in our library where all of the delicious looking gingerbread houses made by our third grade students are on display.

Our Title I Family Breakfast is quickly approaching!
Make plans to be here on Wednesday morning from 7:30-8:30am for a free breakfast meal and a reading activity in your child's classroom.
Today is a beautiful December day, but we know it can't last forever in South Dakota! Make sure you and your student(s) know how to access Canvas for remote learning when weather that keeps kids home can be predicted in advance.
December 2nd was the big day for volunteers to make fleece blankets for Project Warm Up at Sonia Sotomayor. Now in its 18th year, nearly 38,000 blankets have been made & distributed to families in need for holidays, after tragedies & as gifts of warmth.
Not all blankets were made at the event though. Every year, students in Mrs. Siegel's third grade classroom work together to make blankets for the event as a group service project, a good reminder to them that part of being a HAWK is being KIND. This year it was a little more meaningful for these students as one of the blankets they created will be going to a classmate of their own who is having to learn from home this year. Mrs. Siegel and some of his friends will be delivering their gift of love and compassion to show him just how much we love and miss his smile at school.

Meet Miss Volk, our student teacher in 4th grade these past few months!
Our school has been home to three student teachers this first semester. As their time with us is coming to a close, we wanted to share with you a little about who they are and thank them for their time here with us.
Meet Noelle Hofer, our student teacher in K03!
Starting Wednesday, we have some fun dress up days for the 12 days before Winter Break. We hope to see many friends join in the fun!
Cooler weather is fast approaching! Please dress your student(s) appropriately so they can play comfortably at recess.
Join us for the 6th Annual Winter Solstice Gathering on December 1st.
Please consider nominating an educator you feel goes above and beyond!
Planning Ahead! If your current 5th grader is involved in Gifted Education at their SFSD Elementary, join us tonight from 6-7pm at Patrick Henry Middle School to learn more about the Middle School Honors Program!
Reminder:
There will be no school on Friday, November 10 in observance of Veteran's Day.
SFSD's new Canvas platform allows students and families to access school assignments and homework anytime, anywhere. When winter weather can be predicted, students and staff will take devices home to continue their learning. Are you prepared? Check out the guidance BEFORE you need it!
Be prepared for school delays or cancellations caused by winter weather! This chart is an example of how start times would be impacted if SFSD declares a One-Hour Late Start. Review it now... before winter weather is here to stay!
Saturday's snow has us thinking ahead to winter weather. Is your family prepared for the possibility of Late Starts or Remote Learning Days? This week, we'll highlight everything you need to know to prepare for changes in the school day caused by weather.
