Hello! Please don’t forget to sign up for conferences tomorrow if you would like one. We still have plenty of times available! I will send the link through remind one more time before the end of the day today to make sure it’s easy for everyone to find.

Behavior: Across the board, students have been a little rambunctious. It’s just that time of year – spring is in the air and we are all ready for a much needed break. That being said, we are taking the next two weeks off of CBI and we will be specifically targeting behaviors such as following rules, dealing with emotions, peer to peer interactions, etc. During this time, parents may receive a note to indicate whether their student had a difficult day in those areas. Please understand that this is not a disciplinary measure, but to establish communication between school and home so that we may work as a team. Our goal is to help students be able to thrive independently in their home, community and employment settings.

Project Search: Your student may be bringing home a flyer about project search today. It will indicate whether next year is the last year to attend (2024-2025 school year) or whether they are a future candidate, with their graduation year in parentheses. I recommend anyone who is receiving this flyer to attend this informational meeting. This is an excellent program and I recommend it for anyone who is considering work once they exit the school system.

Good Morning!

I forgot to post this on Friday, so here it is! Just a few reminders for the week….

Parent Teacher Conferences are March 12th from 2-5 p.m. The link to sign up was sent out through remind. Please sign up if you would like a conference with us.

Checking in: Please remember to check in at the front desk before coming to the room. If you are a Hype member and in the building, you still need to sign in so we have a record of people coming to the room. Also, we know it’s easy to stop by if you are already in the building, but making an appointment is still the best policy so we can dedicate that time to you and address your concerns. We cannot guarantee our availability without a prior appointment and we are unable to take “walk-in” appointments prior to 9:30 a.m.

Ramadan: Students who are fasting may choose to sit in another location while others are eating lunch. In addition, all food prep activities will pause for the month.

Upcoming Dates:

March 25-29 – No School – Spring Break

April 9-10 – No School – EID

Tuesdays – Early Release – Dismissal at 1:50

    It’s been a busy week here at Hype! We’ve kept our normal work schedule, had our Valentine’s Day party, and the students helped Hype set up for a banquet last night! We are all ready for the weekend to relax and recharge!

    Reminders for the week:

    Signing In: If you are a Hype member and are in the building working out – you still need to sign in at the front desk before coming to our room. For security purposes, anyone coming to the room must sign in. Additionally, we ask that you please make an appointment with us before dropping by. It can be as simple as sending a text to make sure we are available, we try to be as accommodating as we can, but sometimes circumstances make it difficult to meet unexpectedly. If we know ahead of time that you’d like to talk with us, we can plan around that.

    Cell Phones: We’ve had some recent calls about students sharing cell phone numbers with each other, or students receiving calls from other students that maybe their parents aren’t appreciative of. Our policy is that if a student brings a cell phone to school, they are are responsible for it and for being respectful of their families wishes regarding sharing numbers, etc. We love the idea that students are communicating with each other after hours and that is something we will continue to promote. However, we are not able to control what happens after hours, and we cannot spend class time tracking down student phone numbers, etc. If your son/daughter is not being responsible with their phone, please have them keep it at home.

    Spring Conferences: Spring Conferences will be held on March 12 from 2-5 p.m. The link was sent through remind earlier this morning. We are using “Sign Up” instead of “Sign Up Genius” this time which seems to be much more user friendly. Please don’t forget to leave your students’ name in the comments.

    Upcoming Dates:

    Feb 19 – No School – President’s Day

    Feb 27 – No School – Professional Development

    March 25-29 – No School – Spring Break

    Early Release – Every Tuesday – Dismissal at 1:50 p.m.

    Have a great weekend!

    Our party went off without a hitch yesterday! Thank you so much for helping us show how much we love our parapros! We had jets pizza, a salad bar and a delicious cake. It was a great time and we loved doing this for them! They are so kind to our students, have a tremendous amount of love and patience for them, and truly go above and beyond on a daily basis. We are truly blessed with a wonderful staff!

    Hello! We finally made it though January! I even saw the sun when I went out for lunch today!

    Students will be brining home information about the Valentines Day party in their blue folders today. We will be celebrating with a pizza party on February 13th. We are suggesting a donation of $5 to school by February 9th to help cover the cost of pizza. Additional details are in the letter that is coming home today. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

    We began working on a personal hygiene unit yesterday and all students received deodorant to either take home or keep in their back pack. They were a donation from Mrs. Beydoun, one of our classroom paraprofessionals.

    That’s it for now!

    Have a great weekend!
