Dearest Hyer Families,

I hope you and your family enjoyed a joyful and restful long weekend! It certainly feels like spring is here to stay.

As we return to school this week, we’re excited to jump back into learning, growing, and having fun together. With just five weeks left in the school year, our focus remains strong on instruction and helping every student continue to thrive.

You can support a strong finish by keeping up with helpful routines at home—encouraging nightly reading, completing homework, and sticking to consistent bedtimes that set students up for a great day of learning.

We are so grateful for the partnership between school and home that makes Hyer such a special place for our students. Thank you for all you do, and have an amazing week!

Respectfully,

Debbie

Debbie Burt, Principal
