Parenthood Meeting Update

Our first Parenthood Meeting of the school year was last Thursday,

September 24th. Thank you to all the families that came out to support

our school. I didn’t get the opportunity to announce the raffle drawing

winners, therefore, I would like to do so in this newsletter.☺

Congratulations to……Paulina Walker and Ishmael Berry. Please see Mrs.

Pelt, Assistant Principal of Business and Operations to collect your $25

Visa gift card. Our next Parenthood Meeting will be on October 29th.

Hope to see you all there!

Location: Multi-Purpose Room Time: 4:30 p.m.-5:30 p.m.

Jamba Juice Fundraisers We will continue to have Jamba Juice fundraisers throughout the

school year. The reason for the fundraiser is to help 8th grade go to Washington DC for their graduating trip. This trip will be continuous for each 8th grade graduating class at HBCP. Let’s help our 8th grade

scholars go to Washington DC! Our next Jamba Juice Fundraiser is this Wednesday, September 30th at 2:15 p.m.

Parent/Family Corner

Our families LOVE HBCP and we

love our families!

Mr. Jones is a parent at HBCP. He has two

sons that attend our school. Many

mornings he volunteers to be the cross

guard in the morning to ensure our

scholars and families safely cross and enter

our school grounds. Thank you for

volunteering. HBCP loves our volunteers!

Character Counts-Citizenship! Every two months we focus on one of the character traits for “Character

Counts” to build character and positivity. The last two months (August-September) our scholars have been learning about the Character Counts

pillar “Citizenship.” Teacher Leaders sent me a list of scholars who should earn an award for being a great citizen during the months of August and

September. We have 217 scholars who will receive a “Citizenship” award, Citizenship wristband and Hardy Bucks! If you see an award come home

with your scholar, please congratulate them for a job well done. The next Character Counts pillar we will focus on is “Respect” for the months of

October-December.

SBAC Scores

Scholars in grades 3rd-7th participated in the state testing for Common Core last school year (in May). This test is called the SBAC (Smarter Balanced

Assessment Consortium). Beginning this week, all test scores will be mailed home to each scholar’s residence for scholars who were in grades 3rd-7th last school year. An upcoming parent meeting in regards to the SBAC scores will

be coming soon. More details to come soon.
