DR Trip Donation Requests

Dominican Trip Donation Requests
Our Senior Class is headed to the Dominican for our annual Mission Trip. The dates of the trip are January 8-12, 2018. This trip would not be possible without the donations from our Hickory Grove families. Below is a list of items we are asking for students to donate. Collection dates will be after Christmas, but while you are doing your Christmas shopping, here are a few things you could pick up for the Dominican people.
Monetary donations are also being taken to purchase food bags once the students arrive in the Dominican. Students assemble and distribute the food bags to families in the villages and communities while they are there ministering to the local people. A small gift of $15.00 will feed a family of four for one month.
Please contact the high school office at 704-531-4077 if you have any questions.
Thank you for your contributions to the people of the Dominican Republic!
Dates for Collection: December 11 –Jan 5
If you have donations you would like to drop off prior to the collection dates listed,
please bring items to the High School Office. There will be yellow bins through the school to drop your items off. Thank you!



Report Cards – 2nd Qtr

Report cards for 2nd quarter will be available to view/print beginning Thursday, January 4th through RenWeb.  They will remain open until Friday, January 19.  If you need to print a copy of your child’s report card, please make sure you do so by Friday, January 19.  This option will be closed by the end of the day on 1/19/18.

Student Security

Student Security is important at HGCS.  Therefore, carline tags should be displayed in vehicles for student pick-up in the afternoon.  This applies to Main Campus carline, or North Campus bus carline pick-up.  If you need additional carline tags, please contact the Elementary Office.  Additional carline tags are available for parent pick-up.


Student Absences

If your student is absent for any reason, please email the teacher and the Elementary Office, NancyMcDowell@HGChristian.org.  Remember to follow the CDC Guidelines when your student is not feeling well.  Students should be free of the following for 24 hours before returning to school: fever of 100 degrees or more, vomiting or diarrhea.  For attendance records to be accurate, please email the Elementary Office each day your student is not in class.

Moved? New phone number? New email address? 

Email any changes to nancymcdowell@hgchristian.org.  It’s important your information is current for your student.
