Hi Hicks Families,

Eeeeekkkk!!!!!! :)  TOMORROW is the BIG day!!! :) Hicks staff are all looking forward to welcoming our kiddos tomorrow morning for the first day of the 2023-2024 school year!!! I know I am messaging a lot between email, robo calls and dojo messages but I want to ensure that everyone knows the plan for tomorrow! We are SO excited to show off our BEAUTIFUL building on Wednesday, August 30th at 4:30-5:30pm for our open house! I know it feels odd having to do it differently this year because of our construction but please know we appreciate your understanding in advance. Our construction and custodial staff have working unbelievably hard to get the building ready so having a couple extra days was so beneficial for them.

Remember to watch the video I sent out showing you the new building entrance! I posted it last week on DOJO and on our David Hicks Elementary Facebook page for you to watch with your children so everyone feels prepared for tomorrow. We will have a TON of staff outside ready to help guide the children to their new classes. Please remember that parents will stay in their cars on arrival. We promise we have the staff to get our children to their classrooms safely. :) We are ready! 

Give our sweet Hicks Hornets a BIG hug before bed tonight and remind them all how excited we are to welcome them tomorrow!!! It's going to be a FABULOUS year!!! 

Love you all tons, 

Mama Gee :)

Happy Summer!

Happy Summer Hicks Hornets! We are so happy to have the sun and warm weather here to stay. We will definitely miss our hornets over the summer, but can't wait to see your smiling faces in August. All students were sent home with a Summer Bridges Essentials Backpack earlier this week. We are hopeful that students will continue to practice their reading and math skills during our break with these materials. Any student that brings back their Summer Bridge book fully completed will earn a pizza party in the fall! Who doesn't love PIZZA? đźŤ•

A reminder that our building will be under construction for all of June, July and majority of August. That means our Back to School Open House will take place after the first day of school on August, 29th, 2023. That date will be communicated as soon as it is scheduled! Thank you for your patience and understanding!
