Mrs Baughn

You have been an amazing teacher. You balanced both online and virtual students well. Communications to parents has been awesome. We are lucky to have you as our home room teacher. Thank you and have a great summer!

We are in the final stretch of what is probably everyones craziest year of teaching...and we made it!! Thank you to our awesome connect team who has welcomed and supported me in my first year here. They have worked so hard and I am lucky to have such a great team. Thank you to all who have taught our students in school and at home, teachers who have had to learn so many new things and overcome so many challenges.  Thank you for the support and encouragement from admin and all their hard work, especially with the never ending schedule changes. Thank you to the TA's for all the extra and new things they had to do this year, which they did with enthusiasm and patience. Thank you to our specialists and counselors for helping our students. Thank you to the custodians for keeping our school so clean and beautiful, and for all the extra end of year work they have to do. Each person in this building has made this year the best it could be for our students! Most, if not all, of us have put in more hours than we ever had and we did it for the kids. I am so grateful to be here at HES and I look forward to a more normal year when I can get to know more of you even more. Have a restful, safe and mostly screen free summer!

We had a situation pop up at dismissal, and EC was there to offer helping hands, supplies, and support.  Mrs. Comer walked my bus riders and Kids Plus students to their places for me.  Thank you to the entire EC Team!  I don’t know what I would have done without you all!

My Teams meeting was asking for permissions to do a screen share in my small group, and I am so grateful for the helpers here at H.E.S.  Ms. Smith is one of the many helpers that we have here at school, and she has been so helpful not only with helping me straighten out my permissions on Teams, but also with helping me ‘watch’ a student during quiet dismissal on Monday.  Thank you for always being so kind and helpful to me and everyone that you encounter.

Thank you for saving us when we were locked out of our computers this past week.  I think about how vital your job is in a 'normal' school year, and how lucky that we all are to have you supporting us with all of our technical needs.  You are the best!

Kelly has really helped me out this week!  She offered to take my bus duty and car rider duty when I was scrambling to find a ride for my high schooler, and then graciously covered it the next day when I needed to leave early to get my high schooler to her basketball game.  We have so many helpers and team players at this school, and people like Kelly is what makes HES such a fabulous place to be!  Thank you, Kelly!  I owe you big!  ~Liz

HUGE shout out to 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade teachers for being so flexible and patient during weeks of AIG testing.  I had to pull students 2 - 3 (and in some cases even 4) different times...and they have been very understanding and have allowed me to pull them out of class as needed.  I also appreciate them being flexible with my new (Plan B) AIG resource schedule.  Thank you so much!!

Thanks to all the staff members taking care and making sure the kids stayed safe getting out of the cars on this rainy morning. I even saw Mr. Clark making sure the kids stayed dry under the umbrella instead of making sure he was underneath.

Coming from several other buildings in different districts in my career I am so impressed with all the wonderful custodians here at HES. They are so thorough, welcoming and hard working!

Kelly stepped up to cover and sub for my class while I was out on my honeymoon. Thank you so much for jumping in to help out so much during this week! All of this happening at once wasn't the perfect timing at all, but you did it without hesitation! Thanks so much Kelly! -Katelyn Reed (Walters)
