🎶 H.E.S. is just about two weeks away from our Spring Sing, and students have been working hard to prepare!
To go along with our jazz theme, students are welcome to dress in styles from the 1920s or 1930s — the era when jazz was most popular. This is totally optional, and there's no need to buy anything new.
If students prefer not to dress in theme, they can simply wear something nice. We’re excited to see everyone shine on stage!
Midterm reports are going home today! Parents and guardians, please be sure to check your student’s progress. You can also view grades at any time by logging into PowerSchool. Thank you for staying connected and supporting your student’s success!
