Our Third-Grade DLI students learned about the Ojibew Tribe and their rich culture, including the meaning and importance of dreamcatchers. They explored traditions, community, and how they honor nature. 

In addition, they also worked as a team to build the tallest and most stable pyramid using cups and string. This challenge helped them practice problem-solving, teamwork, and perseverance! 

Our Kindergarten Red Hawks had an exciting Career Day filled with imagination, creativity, and big dreams! Students dressed up as their future selves, exploring different careers such as police officers, firefighters, doctors, chefs, and more. Through this fun experience, our young learners discovered the many ways people contribute to our community and learned that with hard work and determination, they can be anything they dream of becoming! 

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 Kindergartners students for earning the highest attendance rate during the week of October 12-October 16, 2026. 

Thank you to our students and families for making attendance a priority. Keep up the great work!

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
