Tina Payne Bryson
Come and join us for a presentation from Tina Payne Bryson.
We are excited to announce that we will once again be having Dewey's Food Drive to support the Hortonville/Dale Community Food Pantry. It will be running from November 12th - December 14th. Our Goal this year will be 15,000 items between GES, GMS, and HMS/FWA combined. If we meet this goal Mr. Harris, the GES Principal, Mr. Deli, the HMS Associate Principal and Mr. Lawrence, GMS Principal, will be sleeping on the roof of one of the schools.
For every 10 items a student brings in they will have their name entered to win gift cards. Let's see if we can crush this goal as a community to support our local families and have three administrators sleep on the roof!!
All items should be dropped off in the library.
For more information on the Hortonville/Dale Food Pantry Information Sheet, please see link below.
Dewey's food drive begins November 12th and goes through December 14th. Brown bags were sent home with students to enable pantry/dry food items to be returned for the food drive. Students who bring in 10 items will be put into a drawing for a gift card. More Dewey Food Drive information will be in the next newsletter on December 3rd.

HASD Clinic Now Open
The Hortonville Area School District is happy to announce that the Employee Health Clinic is NOW OPEN. HASD partnered with ThedaCare to promote balanced, healthy lifestyles that encompass the whole person - mental, physical and social. Also, employees will be able to improve their overall health and quality of life at no cost to themselves. Any employee, spouse, or dependent (ages 2-25)that is covered by the HASD health insurance plan can be seen by a Nurse Practitioner for a variety of services. While many medical services are offered, not all can be conducted atour clinic. HASD and ThedaCare still encourage patients to maintain a relationship with their primary care physician.
Please be sure to send your child with a warm jacket, hat and gloves to school daily. Once the snow falls and temperatures fall below freezing, snow pants and boots are a must. Labeling your child's boots, snow pants and other items brought or worn to school is a great idea.
As a reminder, spills and accidents happen! It is always helpful to have a spare change of clothing at school. Now is a great time to exchange the shorts and t-shirts with warmer clothes for winter.

Favorite Sport Dress Up Day - Wednesday, November 21st
If your high school student will be absent from school for the upcoming deer hunting season in late November, please complete a “Permission Slip for Deer Hunting” and have your student turn it in to Student Services prior to the hunting season.
If your student will be missing two or more consecutive school days for hunting, he/she will also need to complete a “Deer Hunting Homework Request Form” and submit it to Student Services along with the “Permission Slip for Deer Hunting” form.
Students may only be excused for up to ten school days during per semester including vacation and illness unless they have a medical excuse/documentation. Students who miss more than ten school days in a semester can be referred for Truancy.
Both of these forms are available to print below and are also available in Student Services.
Please contact Mrs. Powell, HHS Dean of Students at 920-779-7940 or jessepowell@hasd.org with questions.
