Our First Week
Thank you for an amazing first week! What a great start to our year and it was noticed. I got several notes from our parents sharing that their kids came home excited about the Hixson Hour activities. They enjoyed getting to know each of you guys in a fun way and were eager to share about it. A special shout out to our 1st Week of School Committee! We appreciate all the work you guys did behind the scenes from creating the schedule to organizing each day's activities to getting all the supplies needed for each day. It was a family effort and it came together in the most awesome way!
NWEA Testing
NWEA testing has reached Hixson and will start with 7th grade. Starting this year, all 7th grade students will be assessed. Hope and I will be talking with 7th grade team leaders and elective department leaders about what the testing will look like and how often we will be asked to assess our kids. Stay tuned for more details as we work out the schedule and training about administering the test with Tim Brown.
Cafeteria Lunch Addition
Starting Monday, the cafeteria will be offering a salad bar option for lunch everyday. It will be placed in the same line as the deli bar.

PLC Meetings will begin on August 30th. All our other meetings will begin in September. Please make sure to update your calendars for our Monday meetings.
