Hallett Academy
Dear Hawks Community,
Thank you for joining us for Field Day last week! Our Hawks had a blast with the races, water games, parachute and all the other activities. I'm so glad so many family members were able to come out and cheer on the fun.
As we're approaching the end of the year, please take note of all the upcoming events and mark your calendars! I'm looking forward to closing out the year with you all.
Warmly,
Ms. D

Don't forget to join us on the Hallett playground for Discovery Link's Fun N Da Sun party on Friday, May 30! It will start after school at 3:50 p.m. and go until 6 p.m. There will be water games, a bouncy house, an ice cream truck, field games, a dunk tank and more! We can't wait to see you there.
Our last and final A+ Attendance Celebration will take place on the two dates below. ONLY students who achieved a 95% or higher attendance percentage will have the opportunity to participate. The third trimester began on March 3rd and will end on May 23rd. Families will receive a letter confirming if their child(ren) reached the goal by Friday, May 23rd.
Wednesday, May 28th, 2025: 2nd - 5th Graders who reached 95% or better attendance (only) will attend a special field trip to Skate City from 12-2 p.m.
Thursday, May 29th, 2025: ECE - 1st Graders who reached 95% or better attendance (only) will partake in a jumping castle party at school.
Just a quick reminder that ALL attendance minutes in the third trimester count towards this goal, that includes any minutes where students were tardy and/or picked up early. Missing any part of the school day (excused or unexcused) will be calculated into the percentage total and could possibly affect the total percentage earned negatively if a student was consistently tardy and/or leaving early. More details to follow soon!
Make sure your child dresses up for Spirit Week next week!
