With just one day to go before Christmas Break officially begins, things have been pretty exciting—and a little wild—around Hatfield! From surprise visits by the Grinch to hands-on learning about owls in Mrs. Dusard’s class, we’ve definitely embraced the wild side of learning. The exciting side has been filled with holiday cheer and festive fun like building gingerbread houses, sharing silly snowman jokes, imagining life inside a snow globe, and even practicing reindeer counting.
A big thank you to the MJHS Honor Society and Mrs. LaFevor for spending time reading to our students, and to Raptors Rise Rehabilitation Center for visiting and sharing their amazing owl friends with Mrs. Dusard’s class.
We have one last day before Christmas Break—and it also happens to be Wear Your Comfy, Cozy Clothes Day!

Due to continued snow and worsening road conditions overnight, we are transitioning from our previously announced two-hour delay to a full school closure and eLearning Day for today, Friday, December 12, 2025. Today will be an asynchronous eLearning Day, which means students should complete their assigned learning tasks from home. Stay safe, stay warm, and enjoy a little extra winter wonder this morning!

Mother Nature is sending a little winter weather our way tonight, so we will be on a two-hour delay tomorrow—Friday, December 12, 2025. With the possibility of accumulating snow and slick roads, this delay will help keep everyone safe on their morning commute.
Please remember: if conditions worsen, the delay may be upgraded to an eLearning Day tomorrow morning. Be sure to keep an eye on our school social media pages, as well as your phone and email, for any updates tomorrow morning.
Stay warm, stay safe, and enjoy your evening!

Due to the impending winter weather, we will be moving the start time of our First Grade Holiday Music Program up to 5:30 PM this evening. First grade students may arrive beginning at 5:15 PM, and the show will start promptly at 5:30. Doors to the gym will also open at 5:15 PM.
Our goal is to ensure everyone is able to enjoy the performance and still head home safely before the weather moves in. Thank you all for your understanding and flexibility during this lovely winter weather! Stay safe and we look forward to seeing you tonight.

Come join us for a joyful night of music and celebration! 🎄

This week, our students learned all about staying healthy during this busy season! We were excited to welcome special guest speakers who shared tips on handwashing, healthy eating, and dental hygiene. A big thank you to Shelby England and the IU Nursing Students for teaching our students the benefits of staying healthy and strong through nutrition and handwashing! Shout-out to Lauren Simmerman for visiting our Kindergarteners and showing them the best ways to brush and floss! Thanks to these amazing guests, we are officially healthy holiday ready!
