Our staff had an incredible week of Professional Development! We spent the week building a strong foundation for this year’s Expeditionary Learning adventures, learning together, sharing ideas, and strengthening the relationships that make our HCC community so special. Of course, there was also great conversation, fun initiatives, and a few hikes along the way! 🥾🌲

Now we’re ready to welcome our students and families back! ❤️

We are SO excited to see all of our HCC students and families tomorrow. We can’t wait to kick off another year of learning, growing, exploring, and making memories together.

🎉 Teacher Meet & Greet is coming! 🎉

We heard your requests for an opportunity to meet teachers before the first day of school, and we’re excited to make it happen! 💙
📅 Wednesday, September 2
⏰ 1:00–2:00 PM

Join us for a fun afternoon where families can:
✨ Hear a welcome from Mr. Lippy
🤝 Learn more about Parent Crew and sign up to get involved
🍎 Meet your child’s teacher
🎒 Drop off school supplies
🍦 Enjoy a cold treat!
We can’t wait to welcome our families back and kick off another great school year together!

📚 Don’t forget about Back to School Night!
Thursday, September 10 | 4:00–6:00 PM

Back to School Night will be a little different from the Meet & Greet. After your child has had a few days in the classroom, families will have the opportunity to learn more about the school day, hear about classroom expectations and routines that have been introduced during the first week, and ask teachers any questions that they may have after the first few days of school.

We’re looking forward to seeing everyone! 💙🎉

💡 Learning isn't just about what you notice—it's about where it takes you.

Check out this throwback to our students using teamwork to "notice, think, and infer!" These are the exact critical thinking skills we take out of the classroom and into the wild.

We’re gearing up for an incredible new school year, and we want you to be a part of it.
Come meet some of our team and experience the expeditionary difference firsthand as we hike to the most beautiful view in town!

6:30-8:30 pm

Our Hayden Canyon Charter Middle School students recently completed an unforgettable learning experience at Glacier National Park!

After researching Idaho’s regions and creating persuasive proposals for Idaho’s first National Park, students explored a real national park firsthand. They visited Glacier’s Native Plant Nursery, learned about conservation efforts, and even planted seeds that will help restore native habitats throughout the park.

This fieldwork brought classroom learning to life and gave students a deeper understanding of environmental stewardship, conservation, and what it takes to protect our natural treasures for future generations.

Our 5th grade class has been working incredibly hard on their i-Ready growth, and we decided to celebrate their effort in a fun (and very visible!) way. For every 2 points of growth students earned, they got to choose a temporary tattoo for their teacher to wear.

As you may notice, their teachers are now proudly covered in tattoos thanks to all of their hard work, perseverance, and academic growth! The students have been SO excited watching their progress pay off, and this was such a fun way to celebrate their achievements together.

We are incredibly proud of the growth they’ve shown and the determination they’ve put into reaching their goals. Thank you for supporting your students throughout the year — and for helping us survive our new tattoo-covered look!
