MAY 2016 HULL HERO HERALD

What a wonderful year it has been at Jane Dee Hull Elementary! I know that all the teachers and staff have thoroughly enjoyed working with your children over the past year and we are very excited about their growth and progress. We know it takes every-one working together to support our children. At this time of year we want to thank our fantastic PTO Board, Committee Leads, Art Masterpiece Coordinators and Jr. Achievement Volunteers. Each and every day we are fortunate to have parents, grandpar-ents, aunts and uncles come to volunteer at our school. That is why we are happy to celebrate “National Volunteer Appreciation Week”. We salute our volunteers and their incredible contributions to our school and community. On May 17th we will be recog-nizing the many volunteers that give their time to Hull Elementary by hosting an appreciation celebration in our Media Center at 3:15. As we look towards a new school year, we are excited to continue our preschool programs at Hull. A Community Preschool for children who turn 4 by December 31st and a Kindercademy Preschool for children who turn 5 between September 1st and Decem-

ber 31st. These programs are tuition based and a part of Chandler Community Education. For more information please visit cusdcommunity.com or call 480-224-3900. Hull will also host a Priority Preschool for children with special educational needs due to a disability for children age 3 and 4. A comprehensive evaluation is required. Please call 480-883-5979 to arrange an appoint-ment. The preschool programs are half day and will begin at 8:00 and 12:00. We have an exceptional staff for these programs and look forward to serving our community’s needs! This is the last issue of the Hull Hero Herald for the school year, so mark your calendars now! All parents with registered students in 1st-6th grades will receive an email in mid-July letting students know who their child’s teacher will be for the 2016-17 school year. This is a change from past procedures. Due to this change, it is important that we have your correct email on file. Please let the front office know if your email has changed. Thank you for your support of our outstanding A+ School! Have a safe and enjoyable summer! I’ll see everyone on Monday, July 25st to begin another fantastic school year. Cheryl Bromich Principal
