📢 Important Message for Parents 📢
Starting Monday, March 4th, there will be changes to the drop-off and pick-up procedures for our students.
To ensure the safety of our staff and students, cars will no longer be allowed to drop off or pick up students on the north side of the building.
Instead, we kindly ask that you make arrangements to drop off and pick up your child in the following areas: the circle drive, Holbrook, Valleyview, or Foxdale. Please continue to use right turns only to keep traffic moving smoothly.
We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we prioritize the safety of everyone in our school community.

❤ February is Kindness Month: Spread Love and Positivity! ❤
It's a time for us to show love, compassion, and goodwill to each other. We can all make a big difference in someone's day, even with small acts of kindness.
At Hayward, we believe in being kind not just in the classroom, but everywhere we go. Smiling, saying kind words, and helping others creates a caring and inclusive environment for everyone in our school.
Let's challenge ourselves to do nice things for others, say thank you, and lift each other up. Together, we can create a positive impact that lasts all year long, not just during Kindness Month.
