Elementary families, we want to see pictures of your children reading, whether it's at home, in the car, in a restaurant, at the ball field, etc. We know our students can read in some of the most creative ways and places! Post them on our facebook page, tag us on instagram or tweet us at HGCSchool! Thank you to Mrs. Moldenhauer for this picture of your kindergarten students! #HGCSreaders

Field Day Volunteers Needed
Elementary Field Day is on Monday, May 22nd. TK-2nd grade Field Day will be from 8:00-10:00am, and 3rd-5th grade Field Day will be will be from 12:00-2:00pm. All events will be held on the football field and practice field. In case of inclement weather, Field Day will be moved inside to the gymnasiums.  To make Field Day run smoothly, we need several volunteers! If you are interested in helping with Field Day, please contact Miss Wisehart, Elementary PE Teacher: meganwisehart@hgchristian.org

Terra Nova Testing
Monday, May 15th through Friday, May 19th, students in grades K5-5, will be participating in the TerraNova 3 Achievement Test.  Students will test in the morning and have abbreviated classes after lunch.  It is critical that students arrive to school on time. Students arriving after the testing has started will not be able to enter the classroom until either a break is given or testing is over for the day.
The purpose of this assessment is to determine your student's level of achievement in areas such as reading, language, vocabulary, mathematics, science, social studies, and Bible.  Since achievement testing is a critical component of our school's instructional program, TerraNova 3 and the complete assessment program will provide valuable information to you and to your student's teacher about his/her academic progress.  It also becomes a teaching resource for our faculty, allowing us to collect student data that, in turn, helps us make wise decisions in meeting the learning needs of your student.
You can assist your student by encouraging adequate sleep the night before and a good breakfast prior to school.  Please remind your student to give the test their best effort.
Information will be mailed to you this summer explaining how to access your student’s scores as they become available.
Thank you for your assistance in making this a positive experience for your student.  If you have any questions, please contact the elementary school office at 704-531-4195.
