Thank you!

Dear Hickory Point Parents,

We continue to be amazed by all of your support and partnership. We appreciate your open and honest communication and willingness to support our work. Please know how grateful we are for your partnership. We are sad to say goodbye to our second-grade students. We wish them luck as they become Shabonee Dolphins. We will miss them.

Also, some staff supporting our students will be leaving Hickory Point. We want to thank them for their service and dedication to our school community. We wish them well in their new endeavor. Every one of these staff members contributed to our success this year. Once a Bulldog, always a Bulldog. 

We wish you a summer full of memories, relaxation, and cherished moments with your children. We will see our Bulldogs in August. The first school day for 2025-2026 is August 21, 2025. Until that time, be well. 

Sincerely,

Maureen Deely, Ed. D.  and Lauren Weingarten

Celebrating the Retirement of Three Beloved Educators

This year, we bid a fond farewell to three extraordinary educators whose dedication, passion, and wisdom have shaped generations of students and inspired countless colleagues.

After decades of unwavering service, Ms. Gothelf, Ms. Reed, and Ms. Smith are retiring, leaving a legacy of excellence, compassion, and lifelong learning. Whether through their innovative teaching, steadfast mentorship, or tireless support of the school community, each has made an indelible mark that will not be forgotten.

We thank them for their years of commitment and celebrate the incredible impact they’ve had. While their presence will be deeply missed, their influence will continue to echo in the halls, hearts, and minds of all who had the privilege to know them.

Wishing them all the best in this next exciting chapter!

Summer Communication

The school administration will be providing updates for parents beginning in August. The details for the beginning of school and other essential information will be sent out through Hickory Point News in early August. Once you complete registration, you will automatically be signed up to receive Hickory Point News.

Class placement for the 2025-2026 School Year

As the closing of the 2024-2025 school year draws near, we want to share information about teacher assignments for the fall. Parents will sign into Infinite Campus about a week before school begins to learn about their child’s teacher assignment(s). In August, Hickory Point News will include more details and directions.

Reminder for Adventure Campus Families

If your child attends Adventure Campus on Tuesdays, please notify the office how your child will be getting home on the last day of school, Tuesday, June 3. Thank you.
