Dear Parents/Guardians,
The teachers at Hatch School set aside Wednesday, February, 9th for conference make ups due to the snow days we had this week. If you are able to come on that day, I will be available from 2:00-4:00 and then from 4:45 until 7:00. Please let me know if you can make it. If you are willing to do a phone conference, I can make sure we set up a time to call and have our much needed conversation.

If we do not meet face to face, but talk on the phone, I will send the Student Progress Report for math and reading in an envelope with the school letterhead addressed to you. You will NOT get that report if we don’t talk or meet face to face. Please email me with your preference at: slyles@op97.org. You may also send a note, with your child, letting me know what you prefer.

I will be assigning each student an important African-American to research. We will do some research in school, however most of the work will have to be done at home. Each student will have to dress as their person on the day of the presentation. Naturally, the girls will be assigned women and the boys will be assigned men. The project due dates are during the week of February 22nd -25th.

Please be advised that ISAT testing week starts February 28th. The week after that is for make-ups. Make sure your child is in school on time, well rested and well fed during those times.

If you would like, please send in your snow day pics to be posted to the Hatch School web page. Email one or two pictures of snow fun, and I'll post them to the web page under the Photo Gallery section.

Ms. Lyles
