A quick reminder, there will be no school on Monday, October 12 as we observe Indigenous Peoples’ and Columbus day. I hope everyone enjoys the long weekend.
Fire Safety
The elementary schools learned about fire safety this week. Members from the Kingsbury Volunteer Hose Company and the Hudson Falls Volunteer Fire Department led important discussions with our students about how to respond to emergency situations involving smoke and fire. These presentations encouraged students to have a conversation at home with their families about what the household plan is for evacuation, a meeting place outside the home in the event of an evacuation, and making sure smoke detectors are being regularly checked. Please take a minute to have these conversations with your children and thank you to our local fire departments for assisting in fire safety education.
Holiday Assistance
Our district will be participating in Operation Santa Claus again this year. Over 25,000 children receive gifts of food and clothing through funding from OSC every year. This program has been a staple in the HFCSD community for years, giving our local children and families the resources they need for the holiday season.
Please reach out to your child's building representative for an application or questions about eligibility.All applications must be returned by November 6. If you have children in multiple buildings, you need to contact only one representative.
