Hayes Center School Community,

    As you more than know, we have already missed an unusual amount
of school time because of the weather we have had and the condition of
our roads. Moreover, you may be aware, that the State of Nebraska’s
Department of Education mandates the number of hours that our children
must be in school. When we formulate our school calendar, we always add
in extra days in order to accommodate the normal number that we miss
because of such conditions. As we are just in January, I am concerned
that we are running short of the extra days.
    One thing we are trying to avoid is having to extend our school year
beyond the original end date – May 17. With that in mind, I have decided
that school will be in session on Friday, February 17. The day was
originally scheduled as a Teacher In-Service day.
    I am reluctantly making this change, as I’m sure many of you may
have had other plans for that day. However, I think it is in the best interests
of our students and staff.
    Thank you in advance for your understanding.

Sincerely,

Tony Primavera
Superintendent

A Note from Mr. Primavera …

    As you are well aware, we’ve had some winter storms come
through our area lately. With that in mind, I want to remind our
parents that as our district is so large geographically, it is
impossible for us to make sure that every single route to our
school is safe and clear for our students while coming to town
each and every day. So if, as a parent, you feel it’s unsafe or you
are uncomfortable with your child traveling to school, that is
completely understandable.
    Should that be the case and your child will not be in
attendance, please notify the school office in the morning and
your child will have an “Excused Absence”.

Hayes Center Public Schools is looking for qualified candidates to substitute teach. Below you will find the information required to become a local substitute teacher. If you have further questions, please contact Megan Soundy at the school (308-286-5600).
