June, 2003
Dear Parents,
The warm weather is
coming! The children are anxiously awaiting
the sunshine so
they can run outside to release their excess energy. Therefore, I am
asking you to be extra careful from now until the end of the school year.
In the parking lot, we
will continue to put the chain across the area closest to the building
during the lunch periods for the safety of our students. This provides a
safety zone for children to go back and forth between the playground and
the building. If you visit the school during this period of the day,
please be vigilant.
Again, I ask you not to
park in the front of the building during morning arrival and afternoon
dismissal. The two cut outs are for buses only. Your cooperation will
help us to facilitate smooth and timely arrivals and dismissals. It will
also help to make these periods safer for everyone. Also, please
encourage your child to cross at the corner by the crossing guard.
The chain continues to
be placed across the driveway. It goes up at 3:20 and it is removed at
3:30. This allows us to provide safe passage for our walkers.
Our new playground is
going to be delivered the week of June 9th.
Construction will begin soon afterwards. In September, we will return to
Hewitt with a wonderful addition to our school. A special thank you to
the committee of parents and staff that made this creative and exciting
playground a reality for all our children. Finally, I’d like to thank the
entire Hewitt community for your generosity throughout what must have
seemed to be an endless stream of fundraisers. You made the difference
for every child who will now have the opportunity to play on the new
equipment.
 June
brings us a flurry of activity. Field Day, the Fifth Grade Moving Up
Ceremony and the Awards Assembly are yet to come! Our kindergarteners
will visit first grade and have an opportunity to get a snapshot
experience of what it will be like for them in September. The school
year passed so quickly! I can’t believe that I’m reminding you that the
final day of school is Thursday, June 26. Dismissal is at 10:00.
Then it’s off to the
summer fun. All of us at Hewitt
wish you relaxation
and enjoyment during the vacation. We’ll look forward to seeing everyone
rested and enthusiastic to learn in September.
Before closing, I would
like to thank you in for all your support and cooperation throughout this
school year. It has made a difference for children and staff alike.
Together, we will make Hewitt an even better place for children to learn
and to grow. This was one fabulous school year!
Yours truly,
Joanne Spencer
