How is Your Student Getting Home? Let us know by 2:00 PM
If your student is getting home a different way than normal please call the office by 2:00 pm to let the secretaries know of the change. After 2pm we cannot guarantee that the message will get to your student.
Hayes Food Drive
Next week the 5th Grade Girl Empowerment class is sponsoring a food drive to benefit the Grand Ledge Food Pantry. The food drive will be a friendly competition between 5th and 6th grade.
PM Back Carline Update
The PM back carline is still open to all 6th Grade families! It has been a great success, with most families in and out in a few minutes. The back carline is accessed from the Grand Ledge Public Schools Operations Drive (Penny Lane) for parents to pick up students in the afternoon. The back carline is accessible to 6th graders from either the Band Room or from Door #11. If you want your student to use the back carline, please let them know. Otherwise, 6th graders can still continue to use the front carline if you prefer.
NWEA Testing
Year-end NWEA Testing is continuing at Hayes Intermediate through May 24. Classroom teachers will communicate with you about specific dates. Students who miss a designated testing day will be able to participate in makeup testing.
