October 20, 2025 / Robert S. Hyer Elementary School

Dear Hyer Families,

The time for Parent-Teacher Conferences has arrived. I know that many of you have already met with your child's teacher, and others have those appointments scheduled for the coming days. Conferences are one of the most valuable opportunities teachers have to discuss your child's progress, celebrate their strengths, and collaboratively set goals for the remainder of the school year. Thank you for signing up for a time to meet with our teachers; your input is truly valued.

As the weather cools, we see more jackets, sweaters and sweatshirts in the lost and found. Please put your child's name on these items to they can be returned to him/her when found. Don't forget to label water bottles and lunch boxes as well.

Have the most amazing week!

Warmly,

Debbie

Debbie Burt

Principal Hyer Elementary
