Principal's Note

The time children spend reading books correlates to numerous long-term positive outcomes. Our overarching emphasis at the Hess School this year and in the years to come is on time spent in books. I encourage you to make reading a big deal in your home. Reach out to your child's teacher or to our literacy coach for additional supports for immersing your child in books.
