Update on school tax mailing error
NEWS
Welcome to week three! Our classrooms are starting to feel like a community, and it's been wonderful to watch students grow more confident with our routines and become more independent each day.
REMINDER: Open House is this Thursday (Sept. 24) from 6-8 p.m. We invite you to join us and follow your child's schedule, visit each classroom and review procedures and expectations.
Our next Friday Fun Day is this Friday, Sept. 25 and the theme is Hackett School Spirit! Be sure to show your Hackett pride by wearing our school colors of blue and gold/yellow.
Update from the PTA: Hackett's PTA is looking for parents, guardians, families and school community members who want to make a difference at our school. Every contribution makes a difference. We hope you’ll consider joining the PTA or volunteering for a committee this school year! Together, we can make a difference for our students and strengthen our school community.

All students should have received their student ID cards and should be wearing them around their necks during the school day. Any student who has not received an ID should inform their homeroom teacher. Replacement cards, due to loss or theft, carry a $5 replacement fee.
The district's annual emergency release drill will be on Friday, Oct. 2. Hackett will dismiss at 2:45 p.m. that day. Additional information about the state-required dismissal can be found here.
Please keep our school community safe by being mindful of school buses and school zone speed limits as both carry fines as much as $300 for stop-arm violations and $50 for speed violations. For more information on stop-arm cameras on First Student buses, visit our website. You can learn more about school zone cameras via this link.
