Good Afternoon, HES families,

We had our first successful fire drill of the 2026-2027 school year today!

Our students did an amazing job. We exited the building safely and returned to class in a timely manner. Students were quiet and followed directions throughout the entire drill.

We are proud of them for taking our safety procedures seriously and starting the year off strong!

Thank you for your continued support!

Mrs. Church

NorthBay is fast approaching, and we need your help!

If your child plans to attend, please return all NorthBay paperwork as soon as possible. We need to provide NorthBay with an accurate student count very soon. If your child will not be attending, please let your child’s teacher know that as well.

Interested in chaperoning? Please let us know ASAP! The background check and fingerprinting process takes time, and we do not want anyone to miss the opportunity to chaperone because these steps were not completed in time.

If you would like to chaperone:

Notify your child’s teacher ASAP that you are interested in chaperoning.
Complete the Volunteer Form on the DCPS website to begin the approval process.
Ms. Lynn Redmer from Central Office will contact you to schedule a time for you to be fingerprinted.

Please don’t wait! We want to make sure all paperwork and chaperone requirements are completed in plenty of time for our NorthBay trip.

Don’t forget—our NorthBay Parent Information Night is October 6th at 6:00 p.m. This will be a virtual event and a great opportunity to learn more about the trip and get your questions answered.

Thank you for helping us get everything finalized so our students can have an amazing NorthBay experience!
