3 Sept. 30th Stevie Karas The thought or quote for the week: A Pound of Butter (Honesty) There was a farmer who sold a pound of butter to a baker. One day the baker decided to weigh the butter to see if he was getting the right amount, which he wasn t. Angry about this, he took the farmer to court. The judge asked the farmer if he was using any measure to weight the butter. The farmer replied, Honor, I am primitive. I don t have a proper measure, but I do have a scale. The judge asked, Then how do you weigh the butter? The farmer replied; Your Honor, long before the baker started buying butter from me, I have been buying a pound loaf of bread from him. Every day when the baker brings the bread, I put it on the scale and give him the same weight in butter. If anyone is to be blamed, it is the baker. Moral of the story : In life, you get what you give. Don t try and cheat others.

8 NO CELL PHONE USAGE ANYWHERE IN HPJH! A letter was sent home on the first day of school which outlines the Hazel Park Board Policies. Students may
9 NOT have cell phones in classrooms, hallways, locker rooms, cafeteria, restrooms or any place other than the main office with permission or outside. If a staff member SEES or HEARS the phone (even if it is not being used) the student will be required to turn over the phone and a parent/guardian must come to school with ID to get the phone. NO EXCEPTIONS! When studemts are signing in to their Hazel Park Gmail account, please remember that it is FOR SCHOOL WORK ONLY! If you want to download videos, games, etc, you must create your own personal Gmail account with the permission of your parents. We have experienced devices freezing up at school due to the excessive amount of downloads some students are doing at home that are not school related. ***Please send in your BOX TOPS that you saved over the summer. They help us earn money for our school. *** Breakfast and Lunch Menus A full student lunch includes the following items: Choice of entree, TWO vegetable/fruit side dishes (1 of each) and milk. All students must take all the items when going through the line. If you have any questions or comments about the menu, please contact Samantha Mozdzierz at 248 658-5995 or 248 658-5994. Please note that If a student brings a lunch from home and would like to purchase milk or a side of fruits/vegetables from the bar, it will be a $.50 charge for each. When making that purchase, the student should give the money to the checker at the end of the serving line. Remember, a full reimbursable meal is always available to the students at NO Charge. To be a full reimbursable meal, the student would have to take 3 out of the 5 lunch components, which would include the milk as an option. Menus are posted in the cafeteria and attached to an email sent on 9/22/18 Some classrooms are warm and others can get rather chilly. Dressing in appropriate layers in highly recommended! Keeping a sweatshirt in your locker in a good idea! Remember to adhere to the school dress code!
10 Dropping off and Picking up Students: Parents please do NOT drop students off or pick up students in the parking lot where the cars are parked in the front of the school or on any of the side streets. Please use the drop off lane in the front of the school. This allows students to be dropped off on the sidewalk and reduces the chances of students getting hit by walking through the lot or by passing cars. The Hazel Park Police Department have been issuing tickets to any drivers that stop, stand or park along the side streets and to people that stand or park in the drop off lane in front of the school. ON OCTOBER 10TH-12TH WE WILL BE HAVING A REPAIR TO OUR WALKWAY IN FRONT OF THE SCHOOL WHICH MAY MAKE DROP OFF A LITTLE LONGER DUE TO LIMITED ACCESS IN THE DRIVEWAY. --- Drop off and pick up on this side! Enter from the south side and exit at the north by following the curve. FYI: Safety is a priority at HPJH so we do not call a student out of class and will not release a student to anyone during the school day without proper identification even if the staff is familiar with the parent or guardian that is checking a student out. There is a clipboard on the front counter of the office for signing out students. Please note that students will only be released to people listed on the MiStar emergency contacts. We want to make sure ALL of our students are safe!
