This is a message from Mrs. Blanchard, Principal at Hampton Elementary School. Here is your weekly edition of the HES Hawk Squawk.
 
It was a momentous occasion Thursday as we acknowledged all of the work of our Grade 5 Leadership students and wished them Farewell on their journey moving up to Middle School. Best of luck to Mr. Raymond, Ms. Laird, Ms. Reay, Mrs. Hill, Ms. Shaw and Ms. Palmer as they move on to new opportunities within the district. If your child was not at school today report cards are available for pick up in the office until Tuesday at 12.

LOST AND FOUND/BIKES: We still have a large number of shoes, boots, jackets, sweaters and other bits of clothing. Feel free to come into the school on Monday and Tuesday to gather any missing items. Also, we still have a few bikes in the courtyard from our Grade 5 bike rally as well as an additional bike that was left in storage from the 2016-2017 bike rally!
 
WEBSITE: Our website is a great place to check out over the summer http://web1.nbed.nb.ca/sites/ASD-S/1939/Pages/default.aspx You can find my Principals End of Year Letter link at the top of the page.
 
2018-2019 SCHOOL CALENDAR: I have attached next year’s school calendar for those of you who like to plan your vacations in advance. Two holidays to highlight include the Winter Break December 22nd until January 7th and March Break, March 4-8.
 
BIGGER BETTER FAIR DAY: I am so very proud of our HES school community. We have a community of engaged families who go above and beyond to help support the many initiatives of our school. Big Fair Day was a huge success! The profits of over $3200 will go directly into our Playground Renovation Fund. Thank you again for your support. It was a fun day for everyone. Congratulations to our Basket Winners:
 
TRACK AND FIELD GRADE 5 RESULTS: Congratulations to all the students who competed this week in the Track and Field meet in Sussex. We had several students who placed top 3 in many events.
 
Our weekly Hawk Squawk is always posted on our school website under the Synrevoice tab!
Have a great weekend!

Summer Tech Tips continued…
Setting screen-time limits -- and helping kids moderate their own habits -- are all about finding the right balance for your family's needs and lifestyle. We offer advice for creating a realistic schedule, setting age-appropriate guidelines on TV time, finding the first websites for young kids to use, handling violent media, and managing kids' cell phone use.

Am I depriving my kid if I don't get him an iPhone?

Parents: you are not depriving your kid if you don't buy him an iPhone. Smartphones -- especially the latest, fanciest ones -- have become status symbols for kids and are the source of a lot of peer pressure. (Get tips on how to manage high-tech hand-me-downs.)
Be prepared for lots of impassioned speeches from your kid about why he needs an iPhone, but, if you don't want or can't afford to get one, know that plenty of kids don't have them and do just fine. He should have some exposure to digital tools and the chance to develop technology skills at home or at school, though.

Does exposure to violent movies or video games make kids more aggressive?

Although experts agree that no single factor can cause a nonviolent person to act aggressively, some studies (though not all) suggest that heavy exposure to violent media can be a risk factor for violent behavior. Children who are exposed to multiple risk factors -- including substance abuse, aggression, and conflict at home -- and also consume violent media are more likely to behave aggressively.
While exposure to violent media is only one of several risk factors, it is one that parents have control over. As parents, we can make a choice to consistently expose our kids to media that reflects our own personal values and say "no" to the stuff that doesn't. 
YOUTUBE:
Kids go crazy over YouTube. It's where they head for news, entertainment, humor, and even knowledge on topics ranging from multiplication to Minecraft. But for all the fun stuff on YouTube, the inappropriate content -- from ads to negative comments to swear words and hate speech -- concerns many parents. 

What's the deal with disturbing YouTube videos that look like they're for kids but are strange and upsetting?

Picture this: Your kid has settled in to watch what looks like a nice Peppa Pig video. The title of the video looked age-appropriate and your kid instantly recognized the familiar characters. But after a few minutes of normal play, the story goes horribly wrong. The characters start cursing, bleeding violently, or engaging in other disturbing acts. What's up with these strange videos that look like they're for kids but definitely are not? And why does YouTube show them to you?
