A Visit With Abe

seated with hatParents and community members – Join us for a visit with Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth president of the United States.  He will be arriving at the Hay Springs School Auditorium at 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 9, 2014.  Highlights of his visit include election highlights, inaugural speeches, and the Gettysburg address.

Just a taste of the presentation is this quote from his website: “As the 16th President, I was the first Republican, the first with a beard, the tallest, the first born outside of the original 13 colonies, the only one with a patent, the one who granted the most pardons, probably the strongest and one of the few poets.” (http://www.abelincolnalive.com/)

Changes to Email Login

Google Apps LogoGoogle Apps for Education, who provides our cloud services, has decided to change the way users log into their email and drive accounts.  In the past, we used only the first part of our email address(our name) for the “email” portion of the login.  Now, we must use our full email addresses to log in.  For example, if your name is Joe Rock you previously used “joe.rock” and your password to log in, you must now use “joe.rock@hshawks.com” and your password to log in.  Again, the difference being that we must now use our FULL EMAIL ADDRESS as our “email”.  Please contact me if you are unable to log in.

During the February school board meeting, after much discussion, the board approved the school calendar for the 2014-2015 school year.  The approved calendar is similar to the current calendar and reflects the same number of instructional days.

The Board of Education appreciates the comments received from the community, staff, students and parents.    While it was impossible to accommodate every request or suggestion, the calendar does support our mission of a simple calendar and a schedule that reflects what’s bestfor student learning.
