ART NEWS
We have now landed in Florida! The JK and kindergarten classes are exploring the Magic Kingdom created by Walt Disney. He
was inspired by a real castle in Germany. The 1st and 2nd graders are exploring Cape Canaveral and the NASA program. The
3rd and 4th graders are exploring the animals and plants found in the Everglades. Please spend some time with your child,
watching all of the great postings I have added to my art room web page (under "Florida").

We are in desperate need of nature based magazines for our next art project. Please send in as soon as possible with your
student.

CELEBRATE YOUTH ART MONTH AT THE BRIGHTON DISTRICT LIBRARY...

Congratulations to several of our students for representing Hornung Elementary School's artistic endeavors in the BAS K-4 art
exhibit. The show is located in the front gallery, and is open during all normal Brighton District Library business hours. Enjoy!

Artfully Yours,
Ms. Valerie
 Lunch room/recess reminders.
No Parents on playground during school hours.
Microwaves are not available to JK thru 2nd grade students.

Kindergarten Parents
The Kindergarteners line up outside at the double doors closest to the Multipurpose
Room. Teachers/safeties will bring them into the building at 8:35am. Please do not
drop off students before 8:35, because there is NO supervision for students before
that time. Thank You!

Communications
The Hornung staff believes that quality parent/teacher communication and parent involvement is
vital for a child's success in school. Because a teacher's top priority is to prepare and deliver instruction,
we ask you to pre-arrange conference times. This will guarantee that you have adequate time to discuss concerns
and also allow the teacher an opportunity to plan for your meeting. Your child's teacher will provide you with
times he/she is available for conferences and will work with you to schedule a mutual meeting time. Your child's
classroom agenda/planner is an excellent means of communication. Feel free to call Mr. Yates at 810.299.4451 if
you have any questions or concerns or email him at yatesj@brightonk12.com.

Attendance
Remember to call Hornung's attendance line at 810.299.4454 when your child is absent. As a safety
precaution, we will call your home to check on your child's whereabouts if we do not hear from a
parent/guardian regarding the student's absence. It is important for students to arrive on time. However, if
a student arrives late, the parent/guardian must sign the book on the table in front of the office and the student will
take a pink slip to his/her teacher. This lets the teacher know the student has signed in at the office.

Bus Information-
If your child is to be picked up at or dropped off at a location different than their normal pick up/drop
off location, an alternate destination form must be completed. These forms are available in the office.

Notes-Keep us InformedPlease keep us informed if:

If your child is going home with another child, we must have a note from you and the receiving parent.
Anyone other than you will be picking your child up from school. We need a signed note from you
with specific details. Please make certain that this person is listed on your child's emergency card.

Lost and Found

If your child has lost any items this year please check the lost and found. You will need to come
into the office to get a Visitor Pass and sign into the building. You will then be directed to lost
and found.

From the Clinic Students, who have had a fever, should be fever
free for 24 hours before returning to school AND be given 24 hours to
recuperate from diarrhea and vomiting before returning to school.
THANK YOU!
