We were so lucky to have Principal Ian and Principal Eric assume their roles as Hauser principals for the day! Throughout the day, Ian and Eric helped out in the office, delivered tasty treats to teachers, selected our passing period playlists, helped Hauser students select library books, and visited Central to spend time with the elementary school students and teachers. They also earned a special lunch that they got to share with a group of friends. Thanks Principal Ian and Principal Eric for all your hard work and help today!

Picture Day is BACK!

If your child is part of the boys' basketball team or the cheer team, athletic pictures will take place Monday, November 10th.

If your child was absent on all-school picture day or would like a new picture, picture makeups and retakes will take place Wednesday, November 12th .

For absentee students, families can visit the Van Gogh website at www.ordervgil.com, select "Before Picture Day," and enter school code: 20016602 to place an order.

For students who want a retake, they are able to go to the camera set-up on retake day. If a picture package was previously purchased, the order needs to be returned to the photographers on retake day, and Van Gogh will print the original order using the retake image. Please know that the retake replaces the original image.
