Box Tops

It’s time to turn in those Box Tops!

Thank you for supporting Hickory Grove Christian School by collecting Box Tops. Our school earns 10 cents for each box top submitted. We will be collecting Box Tops on May 9th. You can help us reach our goal by sending in your Box Tops by that date. This will be the last collection date for this school year.

HERE ARE A COUPLE OF TIPS TO HELP MAKE SUBMITTING BOX TOPS EASIER:

• Ask your family members and neighbors for save them for you.
• Bundle your Box Tops in groups of 50 using a Ziploc bag or envelope.
• Write your child’s name, homeroom teacher and grade on the bag or envelope.

We will give out prizes for the students submitting the most Box Tops in each grade level.

Once we send in all of our Box Tops, our school will receive a check. It’s that simple!

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?
