Dear Hyde Park Families, The first semester of the school year is almost over, and we are gearing up for the end of 2018. Our performing arts department will kick off the holiday season with many special concerts during December. Please mark your calendar and be sure to attend, as these are extraordinary opportunities to see our students shine and begin the holiday season!

Now that the weather has cooled down, please be sure students are dressed appropriately. Many students are dropped off and picked up, so they do not bother with warm clothes. However, because we have outdoor hallways, we want to make sure our students stay warm.

Students don’t always remember

to give their parents information

distributed in school. Please take

a minute on the weekends to

check their backpacks for anything

Does the NURSE KNOW :

When there are major changes in your child's health? It could impact their school attendance or performance, so please let me know. I am a good resource to let teachers know how something might affect your child in school.

6th Grade Parents: All students starting 7th grade must have updated Tdap and Meningococcal immunizations before school starts. These are the first required shots since kindergarten. You can take your student to their doctor this school year or to the health department.

Counselor’s Corner

A big thank you goes out to The Just One Project for always helping out our needy families. They were able to assist 24 homeless families this year for Christmas and are always willing to help if any of our families are in need. Their partnership is truly valued.

The counseling office has been hard at work with small counseling groups,

classroom lessons, and completing academic plans. Please review your child's academic plan by

logging on to your parent account at www.campusportal.ccsd.net or on the new Campus Portal app.

Select your student and click on Academic Planner on the left. Click the “Next” button on the top right,

and the academic planner will be visible. Once you have looked over the plan, please approve the plan

by the checkbox next to “approve the Academic Plan” and click the Save button. Counselors work with

your child to develop an academic plan that sets them up for success moving forward to high school.

Also, the counselors are offering the PSAT February 28, 2019 for $10. Please see Ms. Shavinsky for

details if you would like to participate. Only 20 slots are available.
