This is a message from Mrs. Blanchard, Principal at Hampton Elementary School. Thank you to all HES families who were able to join us Wednesday night for our Open House. It was a great night and we were so happy to see all of you. It turned out to be a perfect night for Ice Cream!
Please keep in mind as you are planning lunches and snacks for this school year, that all ASD-S facilities are Nut and Scent Free. It is very important that we all respect this policy as it is critical to ensuring the health of all of our students and staff.

The first day for students is Tuesday, September 5th. Supervision on the playground begins at 7:50 in the morning and children should arrive no later than 8:20. Just a reminder to drive slowly through our school zone as buses and cars are unloading. The speed limit on School Street is 20 km/h. at the 8:15 bell, Grade 3 students will gather in the gym where their homeroom teachers will be waiting. All our Grade 4 and 5 students will come inside at the bell and move directly to their homeroom classes.
Our school fee for the 2017-2018 school year is $60. This covers the cost of all student consumable school supplies, the student agenda, special performances at the school and skating which happens a bit later in the year. We ask families to provide only a backpack, lunch bag, tissues, indoor sneakers, and an inexpensive pair of ear buds or head phones.
If your child takes a bus to a location other than your home, they must fill out an alternate bussing form each year. Our administrative assistant was busy all day long calling many families to ensure we have after school arrangements in place for Tuesday. If your child is going to a location that is NOT their home address, you must complete a Request for Busing to an Alternate Address These are also available online at the ASD-S website under Bussing and then forms on the left hand side. Bus routes are available on the school district website.
 
We are looking for immediate volunteers to act as our Recycling Champion Team – this would require visiting the school on a daily basis to pick up plastic, paper and metal and cardboard and bringing them to the blue bins. Students pre-sort this material so it is just a matter of transporting it to the bins. You can choose a day that works for you and pick up time can be from 3-10p.m. Email bryan.raymond@nbed.nb.ca to get involved.
Do you want to have input into the direction of the school? Do you have an hour one evening per month? We are in need of new members to our school PSSC committee. The Parent School Support Committee works collectively toward improved education and student achievement and members play an important advisory role to the principal of the school. If this sounds like something you would be interested in being a part of – email sarah.blanchard@nbed.nb.ca. For more info: http://web1.nbed.nb.ca/sites/ASD-S/1939/Pages/PSSC.aspx
 
Stay tuned for our first school newsletter that will be going out the first week of school. Hard copies will be available for this first edition but are only sent home if they are requested for the remainder of the year. We rely on sending information via an email address so please ensure your address is up to date on the student information forms. Your child’s school agenda is a great communication tool as well as a source of much more school information as it will include more information about the school and upcoming school events. I hope you have an opportunity to read through our school agenda and complete the AGENDA SCAVENGER HUNT for a chance to win a Family Movie Night to Cineplex!
We look forward to another great year here at HES!

See you next week,


Sarah Blanchard
