Community Forum

Hay Springs School will be hosting a Public Forum on Monday, October 20th at 6:30 p.m. in the Hay Springs Auditorium.

All community members, parents, and stakeholders are invited to attend.
We will be addressing the following topics:

25-26 tax rate
Curriculum updates
Student counts
Investments/upgrades in the school
Calendar

There will be a question and answer session at the end. Please feel free to bring your questions.

Operational Norms
While we will be discussing school finance, facilities, academics- this forum will not be an appropriate venue to discuss specific concerns with individual teachers, students or coaches. I encourage you to bring any of those types of concerns up with the appropriate staff member or administrator.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact George Clear at 638-4434.

Veteran’s Pictures

Hay Springs Public Schools would like to invite the community to submit a picture of a veteran that you would like to honor in the Veterans’ Day Program slideshow, which will be displayed before the program begins. Please include their name, branch, and relationship if you prefer. We have many submissions from previous years. If you have not yet submitted a picture, please do so by emailing Brad Bounous at brad.bounous@hshawks.com.

First Responders Night

First Responders Night will take place on Friday, October 10, 2025. Hay Springs Public Schools will be honoring our First Responders Heroes before the game vs. Cody-Kilgore. All first responders will receive free admission to Friday’s game. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 PM.

Salute The Troops

The 2025 Salute the Troops Night will take place on Friday, September 12, 2025. Hay Springs Public School invites all Veterans and EMS personnel to attend. Veterans and EMS personnel will receive free admission to the football game vs. Potter-Dix.

We will honor our Veterans and EMS personnel prior to kickoff. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 PM.

Communication With The Office

I wanted to reach out and share a request with parents and guardians. When communicating with the school about your child’s absences or appointments, we need that information to be shared by a phone call to the school office (308-638-4434).

There are times that our office staff will be out of the office and there will not be an appropriate way for us to get information in a timely manner if that message has been sent to an employee’s social media account, email, or personal phone.

We recognize that as a small school district we have strong relationships with our school community; however, we need to have a dependable system in which to communicate and that is through a phone call. Thank you for your assistance with this.

Have a great week,
Mr. Clear
