SUBJECT: Tails from the Bark Side - 3/31/25

March 31, 2025
This Week at Hicks

Who's excited for a light schedule this week?! You know it won't last - so enjoy it while we can! 


Did you get your hard copy calendar for April in your Friday Folder? If you missed it - you can print a copy here

Tuesday: 

  • It's April Fools' Day... but this is no joke: The city of Irvine is doing some slurry seal work on Central Park and Viewpark Tuesday AM. This could definitely affect traffic for drop off and pick up  - plan to walk if you are local, or leave early if you need to drive.

Friday:

  • PTO Meeting: 10:30 AM in the small MRP. Sign in at the front desk before joining us - or call in on zoom! Get all the info here. 


Check out all the good stuff coming up on Happenings: 

Husky Happenings
It's HUSKY HUSTLE Season!

Our 2nd edition of the "Hustle Report" came out last Friday... share it with your Husky - they might just be one of our next reporters! 

Mrs. Wright's class is in the lead right now with 52% registered... who will be the first to claim ice cream victory?

Marketplace Receipts - VICTORY CAN BE OURS!

 Only 30 days left! Let's finish strong! That $3,500 is calling our name! 

Keep saving those receipts to turn them in at the front office or enter them online!*  

Here's a few things you might have forgotten that count toward Earn & Learn: (check back weekly for reminders and to see how long I can keep this up)

  • Boot Barn for your "I need these for Stagecoach" excuse
  • Dairy Queen - because it's just about Blizzard season
  • European Wax Center - because it's also almost bikini season (nobody's actually reading these, right?) 

Receipts from EVERY store/service in the Marketplace counts! We're aiming to the be the TOP school in TUSD - let's win this thing! 

*If you enter them online yourself, please DON'T also turn them in... we don't want to double-enter. Need to save your original receipt? You can give us a copy to enter!
