Mrs. Wong's Weekly Update

November 2, 2026

Dear Red Hawk Families,

Happy Monday!

I hope everyone had a wonderful week. Our Character Parade was a tremendous success! It was heartwarming to see so many smiling faces as students proudly showcased their costumes and celebrated together. The excitement, joy, and enthusiasm throughout the event were evident, and our students truly had a fantastic time.

Our 6th grade students also participated in an assembly hosted by the Sheriff’s Department, where they engaged in interactive activities and learned about the importance of staying drug-free, making healthy choices, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Thank you for your continued support, and we wish everyone a wonderful week!

Our students had an amazing time watching the exciting performances, and the assembly provided a fun and engaging way to reinforce important messages about making healthy choices and staying drug-free.

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 4th Grade students AGAIN for earning the highest attendance rate during the week of October 26-October 30, 2026.

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.

November Wise Choice: Choose self-responsibility

I choose to take responsibility for my thoughts, words, and deeds, my choices and actions. I take responsibility for achieving my goals. I take responsibility for my own happiness, for raising my self-esteem. I notice my mistakes and learn from them.

Chino Valley Tiered Systems of Support (CVTSS)

We are currently revamping our Schoolwide Expectations to better align with our District's Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS). Stay tuned for our newly redesigned and engaging expectation posters, which will be displayed throughout the school and in key locations across campus soon!

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
