The Junior class is selling magazine subscriptions to raise money for Prom. You may order through any Junior at Hay Springs Schools or go to the Online Store. The online store is available anytime during the school year. Log on to www.gafundraising.com, click on the “SHOP NOW ONLINE STORE OPEN 24 HOURS A DAY” button, enter the school’s ID 2637262 and simply follow the prompts on the screen. In addition to the 700+ magazines, there are also over 600 other items to choose from. We appreciate your support!

Note to those using the http://portal.hshawks.org web address to log into the learning portal:

As you may have noticed, the web address http://portal.hshawks.org now redirects you to this page(https://www.hshawks.com/).  In an effort to overcome some of the issues the ESU is currently experiencing, we are now bypassing the portal page and will instead use the buttons to the left under the heading “Learning Portal Logins” to log into Google Drive(hshawks.org email) and HSPS Moodle(online learning).  You will still use the same email address and password to log into those services when prompted.  My apologies for the change, but this seemed the easiest way to work around the difficulties with the ESU portal page.  Thank you for understanding.

Read/Run Marathon began this morning at 7am on the football field. We will be making laps around the football field every Monday through Thursday, 7:00 am to 7:45 am, for 10 weeks. It is your choice to run or walk, the days you will attend, and if you will attend the entire time or part of the time. The goal is for the participants to run/walk a total of 26.2 miles (a marathon) in 10 weeks and to read 26 books by January 10, 2013. We hope to see you here! Stay tuned for biweekly progress reports on this event!

New Federal Requirements: Our food service manager is working to adapt the new Federal USDA requirements.  Our food service program is required to provide a wider variety of vegetables and 50% more whole grain foods.  Students will be offered five items each day and students must take three of them.  One of the items must be a fruit or vegetable.  As in the past students are welcome to go back through the lunch line for seconds.

There will be a special award presentation tomorrow during the Academic Fair. The “surprise” presentation will be made to a very deserving staff member at 5:30 p.m. in Lister-Sage – you won’t want to miss it!

Each student grades K-12 will receive a check-out slip. Outstanding obligations will be added to the students check-out slip by the corresponding sponsor, librarian, teacher, etc; therefore the office will not be able to tell you what your child owes.

• Each classroom teacher will collect book fines for damaged books.
• The Librarian will collect payment for lost or damaged books.
• The Athletic Director will collect payment for missing uniforms, etc.
• Mrs. Palmer will collect Hot Lunch money.

Each fee must be paid separately to the appropriate person/department!

Students last day is May 24, 2012—dismissals will be at regular times—no early outs.
