The Spring Book Fair is is underway.   Sales will continue after school each day until Monday, March 25.  As always, we will be open Thursday evening during Parent-Teacher Conferences.  Students will preview books on Monday, March 18, and Tuesday, March 19.

The online store will also be available.  The online store has a wider variety of books for all ages.  The books from the online sales will be delivered to the school – no shipping charges.  They come about one to two weeks after the book fair closes. The address for the online store is: http://bookfairs.scholastic.com/homepage/hayspringselementaryschool or click below.

Hay Springs Public Schools will dismiss school at 2:00 pm on Tuesday, November 13.  Teachers will have an in-service to prepare for the upcoming School Improvement/External Visitation Visit.  There will be no After School Program that night.  Buses will run their regular route at 2:10 pm.

Beginning October 1st, middle school and high school students will have a “grab-n-go” option for breakfast. The cost will be the same but menu items will be able to be taken to their lockers and eaten when convenient for the student.

New contest! The kitchen is looking for new menu ideas.  There will be a suggestion box located in the cafeteria on top of the microwave oven.  Students and staff are encouraged to write down their menu suggestions along with recipes to place in this box.  You can also email your suggestions to wendy.palmer@panesu.org.  Each time your menu suggestion is used, your meal is free!

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.

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.
