PERSEVERANCE AND PATIENCE PRINCIPAL’S CORNER

March Madness rules the sports world, but for school, March is just another month for our students to continue growing and learning as much as possible.

March is also the vital month of State Testing for our 3rd and 4th graders. It is so important that our students know the value of demonstrating their knowledge and skill. In the process, let’s continue to work together to remind them of how unique and wonderful they are just themselves. Testing days are best handled with little to no anxiety. We all know this to be nearly impossible! So, remember to let your All-Star know how much they are loved regardless of ANYTHING!

School Hours

Students’ school day is from 8:30 a.m. until 3:10 p.m.

Students should not arrive earlier than 8:10 a.m.

If ever you have questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to our staff. No question is too small, and no concern is too big for us to handle as a team. As always, we look forward to working in partnership with our families to ensure our AllStars continue to grow and succeed

Our students are growing through the many experiences and opportunities we share.

Please continue reading to see how we make Hickory Bend a place where children come to enjoy school, the learning part, and the fun part.

Attendance/Absences/Tardies

To ensure that our students excel academically, they must attend school daily and be on time. When students are tardy, they miss valuable instruction, primarily in reading and language arts. Attendance will be tied into our school’s PBIS expectations in which students will be able to earn rewards and participate in fun activities.

When your child has to be absent, please inform the front office. Our absentee number is 708-757-2120.
