4/14 HCSTC Announcement

Dear HCSTC community members:

This Sunday, 4/14 is a normal school day for us. Unfortunately, we’d like to take this opportunity to draw your attention 

to an incident that happened several weeks back in our school. 

The incident is serious enough in its nature and involves three students from our third grade class, MLP. The story is long, but the end result is that one child got hurt in the incident and endured mental distress/pain afterwards. Fortunately, the child is getting better for now, but we certainly do not want to have the same thing repeated again in our school. Personal injury is whole lot worse than property damage, and can be much more devastating to the children and families involved and negative impacts can be very very long lasting and much much more painful and costly, not only to the students involved, but to their families as well.

Either way, we desperately and resolutely want to avoid similar incident happening again in our school and to any of our community members. 

We DO NOT wish to have our school to be associated with any troublemakers who can do harm to our community members and to the good reputation of our school. 

We strongly urge every parent to have a serious talk with your children before they come to the school this Sunday afternoon to behave properly. DO NOT CHASE ANYONE IN THE HALLWAYS DURING RECESSES TIME. BE CAREFUL WITH EACH OTHER, NOT TO DO ANY HARM TO EACH OTHER. 

Our School will not tolerate any type of bad behaviors, such as hitting, fighting or bullying at our school.

If you encounter any of this situation, please report to school immediately. Always remember that playful situations can turn from bad to worse in a blink of eye when harm is done to each other; especially if any personal injury is involved in any incident, no matter how innocent an incident starts. We can not stress more how important the above advice/messages mean to you and your children. Every family must follow the school rule if you DO NOT want your family/children to get hurt and possibly ruined by any potential devastating consequences of any unpleasant incident, which typically always starts carelessly and innocently by and among your playful children without your presence. 

We’ll see you this Sunday afternoon as usual, but hopefully with the above WARNINGS sinking in, in all your heads and hearts. 

Best wishes to everyone,

HCSTC
