Dear Hill-Roberts Families,
Happy Veterans Day! We hope you are enjoying the start of your long weekend!
It was wonderful hosting families at our Fall Parent-Teacher Conferences on Wednesday afternoon/evening and Thursday evening! Thank you to all those who attended! As always, we appreciate your partnership in ensuring that your children, our students, reach their fullest potential. Further, thank you again to our families and community partners for making our PTO’s Race for Education Fundraiser a huge success! Thanks to the efforts of our PTO, in particular Tracey Gardner, a record-breaking $18,000 was raised in support of our school! Wow!!!
For now, please read this week's updates and reminders, including information about HRES Giving Tree, a save the date for Family Literacy Night and PTO updates! Have a terrific weekend and many thanks for your ongoing support!
Sincerely,
Dr. Paul Madden, Principal
Ms. Nora Hassan, Assistant Principal

Update - HRES Giving Tree RETURNS
Hill Roberts Elementary School has a tradition of supporting our community members with making some holiday wishes come true. If you would like to make a donation to our Giving Tree (by 12/18), please fill out this permission slip, allowing your student to take a gift tag from our tree. Tags will be available outside the front office starting the first week of December. If you are a family in need and have not been contacted by HRES about this opportunity please reach out to Jennifer Leach jleach@attleboroschools.com. See flier for student permission slip and more information about ways to participate.
Update - From the Nurse - Vision and Hearing Screening Update
4th grade Vision screenings are completed, and I will be moving onto 3rd grade Vision and Hearing screens. If your child wears glasses, please make sure they are bringing them to school every day. If your child does not meet the cut off values for these screenings, a Referral Letter will be sent home with your child. You may opt out of State Mandated Screenings by sending a letter to school requesting that they not be screened. Please reach out to me with any questions or concerns.
Reminder - This Thursday - Fall Family Literacy Night (11/16)

HRES Howliday Shop
The Howliday Shop is fast approaching! We are excited to be able to offer Hunter Husky’s Howliday Shop again this year on December 1 & 2. The shop is a great way for students to experience the spirit of giving as they pick out gifts for loved ones with prices of only $1-$4. We are in need of Committee Members needed to help coordinate décor and displays, our community café, gift wrapping and packaging, and volunteer management. Please email hillrobertspto@gmail.com if interested in helping the committee or volunteering on the day of the shop!
