It was a great (very cold!) first week of December. We were excited to crown a Spelling Bee champ. We are also looking forward to the Holiday Shoppe next week! See information below about the Holiday Shoppe and RaiseRight.

Holiday Shoppe

The annual Holiday Shoppe starts next week, and we would love your help! This is a fun event where students can pick out holiday gifts for their loved ones, and every item is just $2. Your child’s teacher will let you know the day and time their class will visit the shop.

We are still looking for parent volunteers to help make the Holiday Shoppe run smoothly. If you’re able to lend a hand, please sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E0A4AABAA23A6F85-60648007-2025

Hempfield School District utilizes a text messaging system to notify parents/guardians of student absences, emergencies, school closings, delays, or unexpected early dismissals. Families no longer need to subscribe or “opt in” to receive the messages. Cell phone numbers are automatically pulled from PowerSchool, our student information system, if your number is listed as MOBILE and not HOME.

To complete or update your demographic information in PowerSchool:

1. Log in to PowerSchool, using the district website: www.hempfieldsd.org
(click on the PowerSchool Link) Usernames and passwords are case-sensitive.

This process will NOT work using the app. You must use a laptop or desktop computer. 

2. Select the student you wish to update along the top (if you have more than one student, you need to complete one demographic form for each student)

3. Select the Student Demographic Information Update icon on the left-hand side (scroll to the bottom);

4. Enter your child’s date of birth for authentication.

5. Select “Begin Forms.”

6. After making your updates, the last page will show you a summary and a submit button. Click submit. Double-check to ensure your cell phone number is listed as 'MOBILE' and not 'HOME' phone from the dropdown menu. 

7. For additional assistance:
https://www.hempfieldsd.org/operations/technology-department/student-demographic-information

Email powerschool@hempfieldsd.org for any questions regarding your Parent PowerSchool Portal account, or Parent Schoology account

Only MOBILE phone numbers listed in PowerSchool will receive text messages. If you are not a child’s parent or guardian listed in PowerSchool or a Hempfield staff member, you will no longer receive text messages from Hempfield School District.

It is almost time for the Holiday Shoppe!  Once again this year, LPC and LIC students are invited to participate in the ‘Gift of Giving’ through our annual Holiday Shoppe. Students will be invited to shop for holiday gifts for their loved ones. ALL ITEMS WILL BE SOLD FOR $2 EA. We’ll also hold an evening shopping event on Dec. 11 from 4-7 pm at LPC for family members who want to join in the shopping fun.

We can still use some help getting the shop set up, and we will need help running the shop.  Please sign up here so we can continue to offer this experience to our students! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E0A4AABAA23A6F85-60648007-2025#/

I want to wish everyone a happy and healthy Thanksgiving! We appreciate your support during parent-teacher conferences this week. This month's character trait is 'Gratitude.' We have such wonderful students, teachers, support staff, and families that I cannot help but have an 'Attitude of Gratitude' to be the principal here at LIC!

What a busy week here at LIC! We had our math family engagement night on Wednesday. Over 200 parents and students enjoyed fantastic math experiences! We also had our 5th grade musical. It was amazing to see how talented these students are! We look forward to partnering with you next week for parent-teacher conferences. If I do not see you next week, I hope you enjoy your extended break!
