Mrs. Wong's Weekly Update

September 28, 2026

 
Digital Citizenship Assembly

Dear Red Hawk Families

Hidden Trails Students Learn to Be Smart Digital Citizens
Our students participated in an engaging Digital Citizenship Assembly where they learned how to be safe, responsible, and respectful online. Through interactive discussions and real-world examples, students reviewed important technology expectations, including making positive choices online, protecting personal information, and contributing to a kind and supportive digital community.

Digital Citizenship Assembly

To help reinforce these lessons, please remind students that school devices are for learning purposes only. Students should stay on approved educational websites and apps and should not access YouTube or other unauthorized platforms, search for inappropriate pictures or content, or use technology in ways that do not align with school expectations. Together, we can help our students become responsible digital citizens and make smart choices both at school and online! 

Bringing Learning to Life



Our third-grade students brought learning to life through a fun and colorful tie-dye activity! As students mixed colors and created unique designs, they explored concepts of patterns, color blending, and creativity while following directions and practicing problem-solving skills. The activity also encouraged self-expression and perseverance, as students learned that each project turns out differently and reflects their individual creativity. It was a hands-on learning experience that combined art, science, and collaboration in an exciting and memorable way.

Celebrating Culture Through Creativity




Our DLI students enjoyed a fun and meaningful Mid-Autumn Festival celebration by making mooncakes with clay and creating traditional pomelo (grapefruit) hats. Through these hands-on activities, students learned about the history and cultural traditions of the festival while expressing their creativity and imagination. The experience helped students build an appreciation for diverse cultures, connect classroom learning to real-world traditions, and create lasting memories with their classmates.

Upcoming Events

Parent Conferences
This is a friendly reminder that Parent Conference Week is taking place this week. As a result, all students will be on a minimum day schedule throughout the week. If you have not yet signed up for a conference, please contact your child's teacher as soon as possible to schedule a meeting. Parent conferences provide a valuable opportunity to discuss your child's progress and partner together to support their success.
Please plan your schedule accordingly and ensure that your child is picked up promptly at dismissal each day. Thank you for your cooperation and continued support.

ATTEND TODAY, ACHIEVE TOMORROW

Regular attendance is essential for student success and remains a priority at Hidden Trails. Every school day provides valuable learning opportunities that are difficult to make up when missed.
🎉 Congratulations to our 6th-grade students for earning the highest attendance rate during the week of September 21-25!
 Thank you to our students and families for making attendance a priority. Keep up the great work!

Project Wisdom

This year, we will focus on one Wise Choice each month. We encourage families to help reinforce these important character traits at home so that we can work together as a team to support our students' growth.

October Wise Choice: Choose a positive attitude. 
I choose a positive attitude, noticing what is good, right, and wonderful in myself and others. I learn to laugh at myself. 

Our Star of the Month Award Rally for September Wise Choice will be held on Wednesday, October 7. Be sure to keep an eye out for an award notification, as your student may be recognized for demonstrating outstanding character and making positive choices at school. We look forward to celebrating our students' achievements! 🎉👏🌟
Red Hawk Online

Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (PBIS)

Our Red Hawk Online PBIS Store is now open! Be on the lookout for exciting new prizes that your child may bring home as a reward for demonstrating positive behavior at school. We are proud to celebrate and recognize our students for making great choices every day!

We would like to recognize and celebrate our students' positive behavior through our PBIS Reward Program. Students earn PBIS reward points, which they can redeem for prizes through our Red Hawk Online Store.
If you would like to support this program, we welcome donations of small toys, trinkets, or individually wrapped candy. Please drop off donations at the school office and label them "PBIS." Thank you for your support of our Red Hawks!

Important Reminders

Pick Up/Dismissal Reminders:

For the safety of all students, please do not park, drop off, or pick up students in any red curb area, especially in front of the MPR. There is no breakfast drop-off or pick-up permitted in front of the MPR. Students should only be dropped off and picked up at the designated yellow curb areas.

These procedures are in place to ensure the safety of our students, staff, and families. When everyone follows our traffic expectations, we can provide a safer arrival and dismissal experience for all. Unfortunately, there have been traffic accidents in the past, and we want to do everything possible to prevent such incidents from occurring again.
Our traffic expectations are outlined in the Parent Handbook (under "Traffic Safety") and have been shared multiple times through ParentSquare. We respectfully ask all families to follow these guidelines at all times to help keep our students safe, even when traffic supervisors are not present.
Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to maintaining a safe school environment for everyone
