Message from the Principal

State of the School Address
Can you believe it is the last week of school for the 2011-2012 school year? It feels like yesterday that I
walked through the doors of Haynes Bridge to open for this school year. As I sit here, to write my final message for the 2011-2012 Eagle Edition, I cannot believe the year is complete. I am proud to announce that our CRCT scores are back and look great! I will send them out in a separate email. Our children have had a successful year and I have all of you to thank for the support that you have provided to the school and
at home. Remember, our school hours will be changing next year. Arrival time is 8:20 am and class will begin at
8:50 am. However, we will be allowing early arrival, beginning at 7:50 am. Dismissal will begin at 4:00 pm and will end at 4:30 pm. Our goal is to get your children dismissed as quickly as possible to minimize the time it takes to get them home to you.
Ms. Seidman
