Please join us in earning extra money for our school! Box Tops is now an app for you to scan your grocery and household item receipts and the money goes back to our school. If you use Fetch or Upside - it is the same thing! So easy and it doesn't cost you anything! Please see the attached information to start earning money for our school!

Join the Big Rock Library tomorrow! They are hosting a Take and Make at the Big Rock Library for people who like to do arts and crafts.

You do not need to have a library card and the session runs from 10:30 am to noon. Come and be crafty!
It's our first Royal Friday of the year! Be sure to have your student wear his/her best "Royal Wear" each Friday to join us and possibly featured in our Royal Friday sightings!
Good Morning!
We are working to get Pick Up Patrol up & running for HBRES. Please go to Pick Up Patrol's website and check that your default pick up plan is accurate. Once that is set- you only need to enter something (BEFORE 2:00) if there is a change to how you are transporting your student home.
We do ask the students to stick to their usual transportation plans and changes are made only in unique situations. Thank you for your patience with us as we get this running.

(Please park at Pioneer Park next door; no parking in the circle drive.)
