VOLUNTEER BACKGROUND CHECKS
If you plan to help in a classroom or attend a field trip, you must complete a Volunteer Background Check.  Please click on Volunteer Background Check to do so.  Thanks!

STUDENT ILLNESS
A child should be fever free for 24 hours without medicine before returning to school.  In addition to fever, if a student has been affected by vomiting or diarrhea, those symptoms may return so 24 hours after onset is the best way to avoid additional issues. We have students at Bauer with low immunity so we appreciate all your help with this.

HPS International Celebration
Please join the Hudsonville EL (English Learners) Department for an international celebration on Friday, April 17 at 5:30 pm in the Hudsonville Freshman Campus Cafeteria.  There will be a showcase of food, music, clothing, dances, and more from a variety of cultures. Your entire family is welcome to attend and we invite you to participate and represent your culture. 
We will celebrate the food from different cultures. If you would like to prepare or purchase food, please tell us what food you would like to bring by filling out the form through the attached link. You do not have to bring food in order to attend the celebration. 
We also hope to have some students and families share songs, poems, and/or dances from different cultures. If you would like to participate in this way, you can also indicate it through the link below.  Whether you come just to watch and/or enjoy the food or come to represent your heritage, we hope to see you there! 
Please reply using the link below by Wednesday, April 1. If you have any questions, please contact Rachel Manzer rmanzer@hpseages.net (high school EL teacher) or Victoria Cooley  vcooley@hpseagles.net (ECC, K-8 EL teacher).
