Principal's Post September 24, 2021

Dear HFS Families,

Happy Friday, and what a beautiful Friday it is! While it’s been a bit warm and muggy in the building this week, I know that the students and teachers have been working very hard. I’ve visited some of our newer teachers’ classrooms this week, and I am happy to see the connections that are being made.

Principal’s Spotlight

This week, I would like to shine a light on all of our new faculty members: Mrs. Tricia Garcia (PreSchool); Mrs. Lynette Smith (PreK); Ms. Brittany Lambert (1B); Ms. Allison Foltz (2); Mr. Matt Chiappetta (3B); Mrs. Mary Beth Horner (STEAM).

We are so grateful for the time and talents that you share with us everyday, and we’re thrilled to have you as a part of our HFS community. “For we His handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for the good works that God has prepared in advance, that we should live in them” (Ephesians 2:10). 

Student Handbook

If you have not already perused the Student Handbook, please find some time to do so. There is important information regarding uniforms, grades, etc.

Additionally, I would like to remind our 5th through 8th grade students/parents of a few things:

• Students’ hair should be neat, clean, and out of the eyes.
• No shaved designs or dyed hair is permitted.
• Boys’ hair should not be below the nape of the neck.
• No makeup or nail polish may be used.
• Girls’ uniforms should not be shorter than 2 inches above the knee.
• Shirts should be tucked in.
• Boys should have a belt.
• Novelty jewelry is not permitted.
• Small, non-dangling earrings are permitted as are crosses/crucifixes or religious medals

Failure to comply with the dress code will result in demerits. Teachers will be provided with cotton balls and eye makeup remover/nail polish remover. I would also like to touch on dress down days. All clothing items should be appropriate in nature and follow the same general guidelines listed above.
