Counseling Connection for February
|
Our school counselor, Ms. Samoniantz, will be teaching our Hawks about the importance of Good Sportsmanship during the month of February. Throughout the lesson, she will be discussing how to be a good sport at school, how to handle wins and losses graciously, and how we can resolve conflicts peacefully.
Parents can help with this lesson at home by discussing the importance of good sportsmanship with their child. It is helpful to give examples of how your child can be supportive of everyone involved in competitive activities during recess, in the classroom, and outside of school.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to our school counselor, Ms. Samoniantz, at asamoniantz@hbcsd.us.

Independent Study Contracts
|
If your child is going to be absent from school due to vacation/or travel for four (4) or more days, please contact the school office to request an Independent Study Contract. Please understand that we need at least two weeks prior to the start date of the absence in order to prepare materials. Here are some key points to remember:
- Independent Study Contracts are requested through Monica Jagiello (mjagiello@hbcsd.us) in the office at least two weeks prior to the absence.
- By law, the maximum number of days for an independent study are 15 days for the entire school year.
- In order to receive credit for the absence, ALL work must be completed and returned by the due date..
- Incomplete independent study contracts result in unexcused absences, which could result in a referral to the Student Attendance and Review Board (SARB).
- Please be respectful of our teachers and staff who spend a great deal of time putting these contracts together. If you are requesting an independent study contract, please show us the same courtesy by spending the time on helping your child complete and return the assigned work upon his/her return to school.
