Mrs. Wong's Weekly Update

November 9, 2026

Dear Red Hawk Families,

Happy Monday!

On November 4, we will hold our Veterans Day Rally to honor and celebrate the brave men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Veterans Day is a special opportunity to recognize the sacrifices, courage, and dedication of those who have protected our country and freedoms.

We encourage families to take a few moments to talk with their children about the meaning of Veterans Day and the importance of honoring those who have served. These conversations help our students develop gratitude, respect, and a deeper understanding of our nation's history.

Thank you to all of our veterans for your service and sacrifice!

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

Mrs. Wong

Reminders:

Emergency Contact List

Please ensure that your emergency contact information in Aeries is current and up to date. For student safety, we can only release a student to individuals who are listed under the Contacts tab in Aeries. Thank you for helping us keep your child's information accurate and current.

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 3rd Grade students for earning the highest attendance rate (98.22%) during the week of November 2 to November 6, 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
