Haysboro Read-A-Thon
Our Haysboro School Council is excited to be hosting our Read-A-Thon from April 13 - 30. Families can support by helping children read daily and returning Reading Logs at the end of each week. Families can also collect pledges and submit donations if they like. All students received a letter home and reading logs this week. To build excitement, students will preview the Owl's Nest Book Fair here at our school next week during regular school hours, and then the book fair will be open for parents to come on Thursday, April 9 from 3:10 pm - 6:00 pm to purchase books. You can also purchase books at Owl's Nest online site until April 17 using the code HAYSBORO.
We are also looking for a few volunteers to support our Thursday evening Book Fair hours. Please visit the Sign-Up Genius if you have an hour or two available on Thursday from 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm.

Kindergarten Registration Open
Registration for Kindergarten for the 2026-2027 school year is now open. When we plan staffing and class configurations, it is incredibly helpful to have as clear a picture as possible around student numbers.
If you know of anyone who is planning to register in our wonderful school (kindergarten or otherwise), please encourage them to do so as soon as possible! If there are any questions or if support is required, we are more than happy to chat with families. Please encourage them to call the school office!
Thank you to everyone who tells us that they are sharing positive messages about Haysboro School with their friends. You are an important reason why our little school continues to grow!
