Dear Hershey Families,
We are in the swing of things here at Hershey Jr/Sr High School! It is so exciting to have the staff and students back into the building and seeing the educational process back in our building. It is a very exciting time with students settling back into the routine of school, staff working hard to build relationships and deliver content to students, and the start of fall activities off and running. There are many GREAT things taking place on a daily basis in Hershey and I look forward to what the month ahead brings!
As I have stated before, please make note of a couple of items in this month's newsletter. First, please check out the IMPORTANT DATES for the month of September. These dates are critical to make sure of all stakeholders as we get into the start of a new school year. Second, I included some information about the work we are doing with our staff here at HPS to ensure the best educational experience possible. Finally, there are other items of importance for families to use as a reference as we start a new school year here at HPS!
As always, if there is anything we can do to support you and your family, do not hesitate to reach out to me here at the school. We have the privilege of working with great students every day and if there is a way we can partner to make it a better experience, let’s have that conversation!
Please check out the LINK below to access the September 7-12 Panther Principal Newsletter.
Looking forward to a GREAT month ahead here in Panther Nation!!
