ATTENTION: 6th Grade Parents

The Hayes PTO is looking for officers for next year to
serve as Vice President and Treasurer. If you have a
current 6th grader, please consider volunteering. If you
have been involved in your parent organization at the
elementary level, and are worried about the commitment,
please be aware that the responsibilities at the middle
school level are much less demanding. Please contact
Ariana Gibbs at ariana.gibbs@gmail.com if you are
interested. Thanks!


MESSAGE FROM MRS. KENNAUGH
It remains our district practice that we will not accept
any teacher placement requests. Please know that we
take this task very seriously and place students where
they will be most successful. That means using what we
know about your child and his/her relationships with the
other students, coupled with their learning needs. The
we includes Mrs. Husted, Mr. Albrecht, Mrs. T and/or
Mrs. Crowell, Ms. Edwards and/or Ms. Stone, each of
your childrens current classroom teachers, and myself.
We all want your child to have a successful year next
year and will work to see that they do!

As always, if you have any questions or would like to
discuss any concerns, please contact me.
