Dear Haas Families,
We are excited to begin planning our annual December PAWS Celebration — the Haas Hot Cocoa Hop! This is truly one of the best days of the school year, and it wouldn’t be possible without the generosity and support of our families.
Your donations help make this celebration fun, festive, and memorable for our amazing students who consistently show PAWS behavior. Students will be dancing, celebrating, and sipping delicious hot cocoa as we recognize their positive choices and school pride.
Please consider donating to support this special event. All donations should be turned in to the main office by Wednesday, December 17th.
If you plan to volunteer at the event, please be sure you have an up-to-date volunteer form on file before the celebration.
Thank you for helping us celebrate our Haas Wolves and for being such a supportive school community. We truly couldn’t do this without you!
Warmly,
The HAAS PBIS Team

📚 The Haas Elementary Book Fair Is Here!
Our Book Fair is happening this week at Haas Elementary!
This year, students have a new way to create their Book Fair Wish List — they’ll receive a printed “receipt” that shows the actual prices (including tax) for the books they’d like to purchase. You’ll notice a “W” on the receipt to indicate it’s a wish list, not a purchase.
Students may bring money to shop at the Book Fair during the week.
Families may only come in to shop with their child if this is pre-approved with the teacher, so classroom instruction is not interrupted.
The Book Fair will also be open during Parent-Teacher Conferences from 1:30–5:30 PM, which is the most ideal time to shop together and avoid missing class time.
Thank you for supporting our readers and helping foster a love of books! 💚🐾
