Please be familiar with the Policy Changes that have gone into effect for Third Quarter. All parents should have received an email regarding these changes last week. Don’t forget to fill out a re-enrollment form if your student plans on returning to HCSS for the 2017-2018 school year. The ELA MCAS Practice Test 2 Sessions 1 and 2 will be held on Wednesday 2/8 and Thursday 2/9. Only grades 6, 7, 8, and 10 will be taking these tests. Please have students get a good night’s sleep and be in school on these days. The Art Room is asking for gently used paint brushes, small plastic cups, dixie cups, masking tape, and newspaper! Bring these items to Ms. May to receive a wolf buck! Tomorrow is the last day to bring in change for the Penny Wars! The class that raises the most money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society gets a free dress down and study hall. The next PTO Meeting will be held on Thursday, February 16th at 6pm in the HCSS Teacher’s Lounge. All are welcome! Thank you for your support!

2016-2017 Senior Ad Pages for YEARBOOK The yearbook staff has begun capturing the special, fun, and silly moments of Hampden Charter School of Science. We truly believe that this year’s yearbook will be a wonderful recollection of the memories made at HCSS. With that being said, the yearbook staff has started selling Personal Ad Space for Senior Parents and Friends. The staff provides parents/guardians an opportunity to publish a personal ad for their senior student showcasing their life, achievements, and memories. The ads can include a current picture, pictures of your student throughout their life, baby pictures, and a personal message to your senior. Included in this packet is an order form containing prices and additional information. When you turn your ad packet in, please submit all ad materials. High resolution jpg of photos for the ads can be sent to
[email protected]. The last day to submit materials for your senior ad space will be February 1, 2017.

There is still a high rate of both stomach and respiratory viruses going through the school. The best defense is WASHING YOUR HANDS OFTEN. You should also cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue or your inner elbow, and not share any food or beverages with anyone. Make sure to take care of yourself with plenty of rest, eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, take vitamins, drink plenty of water, and exercise regularly. Please see the following pages about hand washing etc. Thank you! Remember “Your health is in your hands”
