On Friday, December 5, 2025, the NHS will draw three winners for their first annual meat raffle during the varsity basketball game. The prizes include a meat bundle worth $420; one worth $200; and one worth $150! See the pictures for a detailed list of what is included in each bundle. You do not need to be present to win your bundle - but if you come, you can cheer on our Huskies! We will call you if you win and are not present.

There are still some tickets available for $10 each. Please email Heidi Macias at maciash@hpsmi.org with any questions or to purchase your tickets! Tickets will be sold until we run out - even up to the last few minutes before the drawing!

All proceeds go to The Giving Tree Project that was started in 2015. This inititave pairs students from our own elementary school to shop with current NHS members to get much needed warm winter gear and clothing.

*Not much freezer space? No need to worry! Keep what you want and gift the rest to your family and friends or your local food pantry. What a way to give back to your community, fill your freezer, and share with your loved ones.

Thank you for your support

El viernes 5 de diciembre de 2025, el NHS sorteará a tres ganadores para su primera rifa anual de carne durante el partido de baloncesto universitario. Los premios incluyen un paquete de carne con un valor de $420; uno con un valor de $200; y uno con un valor de $150. Vea las imágenes para ver una lista detallada de lo que incluye cada paquete. No necesita estar presente para ganar su paquete, pero si viene, ¡puede animar a nuestros Huskies! Le llamaremos si gana y no está presente.

Todavía quedan boletos disponibles por $10 cada uno. Si tiene alguna pregunta o desea comprar sus boletos, envíe un correo electrónico a Heidi Macias a maciash@hpsmi.org. ¡Los boletos se venderán hasta agotar existencias, incluso hasta los últimos minutos antes del sorteo!

Todo lo recaudado se destinará al Proyecto del Árbol Generoso, iniciado en 2015. Esta iniciativa conecta a estudiantes de nuestra escuela primaria con miembros actuales del NHS para que compren ropa y equipo de invierno muy necesarios.

*¿No tiene mucho espacio en el congelador? ¡No te preocupes! Quédate con lo que quieras y regala el resto a tus familiares y amigos o a tu banco de alimentos local. ¡Qué manera de contribuir a tu comunidad, llenar tu congelador y compartir con tus seres queridos!

Gracias por tu apoyo.

Statement Regarding Redwood Elementary Student Dismissal and Pickup:
Declaración relativa a la salida y recogida de alumnos de la escuela primaria Redwood:
3 months ago, HPS
Redwood Elementary 395 Woodside Dr. Hartford, MI, 49057 November 14th, 2025 Redwood Families, Student safety is our number one priority. Recent incidents have placed children in unsafe situations during dismissal, and we are implementing stronger procedures effective immediately to ensure every child is protected. Walkers vs. Car Pickups ● A walker is a student who leaves the school on foot and walks home. ● A car pickup is a student who walks from the school building to a vehicle. To maintain a safe environment, children will not be dismissed to walk to vehicles that are not in the pickup line. This practice is unsafe and will no longer be permitted. If your child walks to a vehicle, they are now considered a car pickup and must use the official pickup line every day. Car Tag Requirement All car pickups must have an official school car tag. If you do not have a car tag, you must sign your child out through the front office and pick up a car tag before using the pickup line. We appreciate your cooperation as we make dismissal as safe and orderly as possible. The safety of our students will always be our top priority, and these changes help ensure that every child gets home safely. Sincerely, Maggie Platt Principal Redwood Elementary School 269-621-7300 plattm@hpsmi.org
Escuela Primaria Redwood 395 Woodside Dr. Hartford, MI, 49057 14 de noviembre de 2025 Familias de Redwood, La seguridad de los estudiantes es nuestra prioridad número uno. Los recientes incidentes han puesto a los niños en situaciones de riesgo durante la salida de clases, por lo que estamos implementando procedimientos más estrictos con efecto inmediato para garantizar la protección de todos los niños. Caminante vs. Recogida(o) en carro ● Un caminante- Es un estudiante que sale de la escuela a pie y camina hasta su casa. ● Recogido(a) en carro- Es un estudiante que camina desde el edificio escolar hasta un vehículo. Para mantener un entorno seguro, a los niños no se les permitirá caminar hasta los vehículos en Spaulding Drive. Esta práctica es insegura y ya no estará permitida. Si su hijo camina hacia un vehículo, ahora se le considera un recogido(a) por carro y debe usar la línea de recogida oficial cada día. Requisito de etiqueta del carro Todos los vehículos recogidos deben tener una etiqueta oficial de la escuela. Si no tiene una etiqueta, debe registrar la salida de su hijo/a en la oficina y recoger una etiqueta para el carro antes de usar la línea de recogida oficial. Agradecemos su cooperación mientras hacemos que la salida sea lo más segura y ordenada posible. La seguridad de nuestros estudiantes siempre será nuestra máxima prioridad y estos cambios ayudan a garantizar que todos los niños lleguen a casa sanos y salvos. Atentamente, Maggie Platt Directora Escuela Primaria Redwood 269-621-7300 plattm@hpsmi.org

4 months ago, HPS
10/30/2025 Dear Parents, Guardians, and Community Members, At Hartford Public Schools, the safety and well-being of our students is our top priority. We are committed to providing a secure learning environment, and part of that commitment includes preparing for emergency situations in a proactive and effective manner. This morning we conducted a school-wide lockdown drill. These drills are required and mandated by the state of Michigan. In order to preserve the safety of our students and faculty, these drills are not posted ahead of time. We understand that drills may cause temporary concern or disruption, but they are a critical component of our emergency preparedness plan. Please be assured that all appropriate safety measures were in place and that the drill was conducted in a structured and sensitive manner. Thank you for your continued support in helping us maintain a safe and secure environment for all students and staff. 30/10/2025 Estimados padres, tutores y miembros de la comunidad: En las Escuelas Públicas de Hartford, la seguridad y el bienestar de nuestros estudiantes son nuestra máxima prioridad. Nos comprometemos a brindar un entorno de aprendizaje seguro, y parte de ese compromiso incluye prepararnos para situaciones de emergencia de manera proactiva y eficaz. Esta mañana realizamos un simulacro de confinamiento en toda la escuela. Estos simulacros son obligatorios y exigidos por el estado de Michigan. Para preservar la seguridad de nuestros estudiantes y personal docente, no anunciamos estos simulacros con anticipación. Entendemos que los simulacros pueden causar preocupación o interrupciones temporales, pero son un componente fundamental de nuestro plan de preparación para emergencias. Les aseguramos que se implementaron todas las medidas de seguridad pertinentes y que el simulacro se llevó a cabo de manera estructurada y respetuosa. Gracias por su continuo apoyo para ayudarnos a mantener un entorno seguro para todos los estudiantes y el personal.
