If you are unsure of where to go, call the county auditor office or visit https://www.minnehahacounty.gov/dept/au/election/precinct_info/AllCityPrecincts.pdf
Please remember the north driveway is closed before and after school to everyone except buses and daycare vans.
The buses need a lot of room to safely navigate and park.
In addition we want to keep everyone safe by reducing foot traffic in that back parking lot before and after school.
Don't forget to order your Hayward Spirit Wear by tomorrow night!

We are classroom teachers, interventionists, education assistants, specials teachers, administration, and more. We are so much more because above all else we are a team.
Everyone brings gifts and strengths to the table, and with those things we build a team that constantly grows in positive ways.
Without each and every member in this building, we couldn't be what we are: a powerful team that has the power to make a difference in the lives of students every single day.
Thank you for letting us teach your children.
