By -

Happy April!  Just 2 more months of school!  We hope you had a great 3 day weekend and are ready to jump into some actual 5 day work/school weeks! Resources and PLCs resume this week.  Have an amazing 1st week of April!


Please use this FORM during Quarter 4 to report any student absences that parents/guardians report to you. 

  • Only fill out the form if you have been in contact with the parent/guardian.

  • Please bookmark this form for future reference

  • Parents may also report the student absences by calling the office or by filling out the form that is emailed to parents of absent students. However, the teacher and parents still need to be in contact directly.

  • Please contact parents if there are 3 consecutive or multiple absences to clarify reasons for absences. 

  • If you cannot reach parent/s via seesaw or email, contact parent/s via telephone. 

Thank you, 

Your HES Attendance Team (HAT)



Thank you counselors and Michell Shue for coordinating such action packed Career Day events for the students!  It was a great way to ease back in after Spring Break!  We appreciate all of the coordination that went into the planning and all of the adjusting along the way!



Thank you to Ashley C and Marie for planning our Family Engineering Night last Thursday!  What a great experience for the students and their families to work with engineers!  Thank you to the teachers and staff that also committed your help and supported the event by volunteering your time.


It is never a small task to coordinate school wide events, but the outcomes have been amazing.  We appreciate the effort to connect and engage students with our community.

This Wednesday marks Administrative Professionals Day, and we want to take a moment to sincerely recognize and thank our exceptional office staff. Their dedication and support extend far beyond the expected, touching every corner of our school. From cheerfully greeting families – both the friendly and the more challenging – to ensuring the smooth execution of every event, our office team is truly the backbone of our school. They arrive early, stay late, manage our supplies, process our paychecks and scan our lunches, and, above all, always help to ensure the well-being of our students. Thank you for all that you do! In addition to celebrating our administrative professionals, this week we also gratefully acknowledge the vital contributions of our campus volunteers. Our PCNC, Kilohana Motas, and our active PTA work tirelessly to create meaningful volunteer opportunities that benefit our entire school.
