Hornets Nest Elementary

Victoria Hicks

Summer vacation is around the corner.  Our children have worked hard thus far this year.  This is a critical time to  continue the momentum as our teachers continue to work hard on teaching with an intensity and sense of urgency.  We are appreciative of your support at home as you continue to encourage your child to work hard at school, complete    homework and be respectful to teachers and classmates. 

 Additionally, continue to check planners for communication from the school. You can support your child by asking them about their homework and ensuring they are reading daily at home.

 It is that time of year to build a new PTA board for the 2013-14 school year.  Please consider serving as an officer.  Contact me if you have questions about working with the PTA.

 EOG Testing is next week for our 3rd thru 5th graders.  Please make sure your child gets plenty of sleep each night and has a hearty breakfast in the morning.  

Protect this House,

Victoria Hicks

Hornets Nest Essential 7

1.      Always keep your eyes on the person that is speaking.

2.      Always respond appropriately to others by saying thank you, speaking when spoken to, and talking in complete sentences. It is not respectful to smack your teeth, walk away, roll your eyes, or shrug your shoulders.

3.      Cheer on others who do something well.

4.      Surprise others with random acts of kindness and do not ask for a reward.

5.      Accept that everyone will make mistakes and bad choices-learn from them. Do not laugh or stare when others make mistakes or bad choices.

6.      You must complete homework every day and make every effort to be organized.

7.      Always be the best you can be.
