Hickory Point News- Picture Retakes and Tip of the Month

 

 

Happy Halloween Bulldogs

We hope your day is full of giggles, costumes, and spooky fun! Remember to be kind, share smiles, and stay safe while you celebrate. Whether you’re trick-or-treating, carving pumpkins, or dancing at a party, have a magical and safe Halloween night!

Picture Retakes

Picture Day Photo packets were placed in backpacks a few weeks ago with all students who preordered photos. Picture Retake Day is Wednesday, November 5, 2025. Please send the entire picture envelope back with your student if you wish to have their photo retaken. Any students who were absent on Picture Day will also be photographed on Retake Day.

Team SHINE Tip of the Month

We live in a digital age - surrounded by ever-evolving technology. How many of our Bulldogs enjoy playing digital games? How, as parents, do we know if a game is something you want your Bulldog to play? One way is to use the Common Sense Media parent tool, which provides detailed information about digital games. Check it out here!

Educational or action/adventure, XBOX, Apple, or PlayStation, they have reviews that are right for you! Have questions about how much screen time is right for your Bulldog? Check out the articles here:

Veterans Day

School will be in session on Tuesday, November 11. We will observe and honor this holiday in various ways, including celebrating the veterans in our lives. As an optional activity, students can fill out a Heroes Poster about a veteran they know and display it around the office to honor their service. Teachers will provide more details to students over the coming week. Thank you to all of our veterans for your service to our country.
