Comments Off on Summer Food Program

We will be starting our Summer Food Service (SFSP) early this year! This year will be a little different than years past considering our current situation with COVID-19. This program will begin Tuesday, March 31st and conclude Tuesday May 19th. If school is able to resume normal operations the program will end at that point. Meals will be To-Go. You will pick up a week (4 Days) worth on the day that is scheduled to pick up and return school assignments. Breakfast and Lunch will be included in the weekly meal package. Specific preparation and storage instructions will be included and we encourage you to pay close attention to the instructions to ensure food safety.  Also, you will need to bring your own box our bag to haul it home in. This is a free meal service for any child 1-18 years of age. To sign up, please contact Jen Young directly via cell phone @1-308-430-2562 or email jen.young@hshawks.com The deadline to sign up for this service is Thursday March 26th 2020. Jen will also reach out to as many families as she can by phone. Thank you and stay healthy!

School Closings

Comments Off on School Closings

After consultation with COVID-19 Unified Command, it has been determined that all schools in the Nebraska Panhandle will be closed through May 1st, with the possibility of schools being closed for the remainder of the 2019/2020 school year. This decision will be re-evaluated as circumstances change, with parents and families updated accordingly and extended as needed. This is a precautionary measure; there are currently no confirmed cases in the Panhandle; however, local health and school officials are watching the COVID-19 situation in Colorado, Wyoming, and South Dakota closely. School Superintendents met with Unified Command today and agreed this action would help prevent exposure to our area to flatten the curve and decrease the spread of disease.

Hay Springs Public School will remain consistent with the school calendar in that the last day for Seniors will be on Thursday, May 14th, the last day for students in grades PK-11 will be Thursday, May 21st. More information regarding end of the year activities will be forthcoming as we learn more about the COVID-19 outbreak situation.

A pick up and drop off station for student assignments has been created on the north end of the school in the school garage. The station will be open on Tuesday, March 24th from 7:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. Please remember to practice social distancing while in the garage and communicate directly with your child’s classroom teacher to determine if new assignments will be available in this location during this time.

Thank you in advance for your support and cooperation during this time of uncertainty.

Due to health concerns, especially among our older community members, we have decided to try something a little different this year with the Elders’ Wisdom program. We are going to move the program to August 20th, the Thursday before Friendly Festival. We hope this will lead to a larger turnout and hopefully will have better weather for visiting family members.  Thank you all for your understanding and cooperation!
