The thought or quote for the week: In ancient Greek, there was a king named Midas. He had a lot of gold and everything he needed. He also had a beautiful daughter. Midas loved his gold very much, but he loved his daughter more than his riches.
One day, a satyr named Silenus got drunk and passed out in Midas’ rose garden. Believing that Satyrs always bring good luck, Midas lets Silenus rest in his palace until he is sober,
against the wishes of his wife and daughter. Silenus is a friend of Dionysus, the god of wine and celebration. Upon learning Midas’ kindness towards his friend, Dionysus decides to reward the keg.
When asked to wish for something, Midas says “I wish everything I touch turns to gold”. Although Dionysus knew it was not a great idea, he granted Midas his wish.
Happy that his wish was granted, Midas went around touching random things in the garden and his palace and turned them all into gold. He touched an apple, and it turned into a shiny gold apple. His subjects were astonished but happy to see so much gold in the palace.
In his happiness, Midas went and hugged his daughter, and before he realized, he turned her into a lifeless, golden statue! Aghast, Midas ran back to the garden and called for Dionysus. He begged the god to take away his power and save his daughter. Dionysus gives Midas a solution to change everything back to how it was before the wish. Midas learned his lesson and lived the rest of his life contended with what he had.
Moral of the story: Do not get greedy. Be happy and content with what you have.

NO CELL PHONE USAGE ANYWHERE IN HPJH! A letter was sent home on the
first day of school which outlines the Hazel Park Board Policies. Students may
NOT have cell phones in classrooms, hallways, locker rooms, cafeteria, restrooms
or any place other than the main office with permission or outside
of the school. If a staff member SEES or HEARS the phone (even
if it is not being used) the student will be required to turn over the
phone and a parent/guardian listed on MiStar must come to school
with ID to get the phone. NO EXCEPTIONS!
When studemts are signing in to their Hazel Park Gmail account, please remember
that it is FOR SCHOOL WORK ONLY! If you want to download videos, games, etc,
you must create your own personal Gmail account with the permission of your
parents. We have experienced devices freezing up at school due to the excessive
amount of downloads some students are doing at home that are not school related.
***Please send in your BOX TOPS that you saved over the summer. They help us
earn money for our school. ***

Breakfast and Lunch Menus A full student lunch includes the following items: Choice of entree, TWO vegetable/fruit
side dishes (1 of each) and milk. All students must take all the items when going through
the line. If you have any questions or comments about the menu, please contact Samantha
Mozdzierz at 248 658-5995 or 248 658-5994. Please note that If a student brings a
lunch from home and would like to purchase milk or a side of fruits/vegetables from the
bar, it will be a $.50 charge for each. When making that purchase, the student should give
the money to the checker at the end of the serving line. Remember, a full reimbursable
meal is always available to the students at NO Charge. To be a full reimbursable meal, the
student would have to take 3 out of the 5 lunch components, which would include the milk
as an option. Menus are posted in the cafeteria and attached to an email sent on 9/15/18
Some classrooms are warm and others can get rather
chilly. Dressing in appropriate layers in highly
recommended! Keeping a sweatshirt in your locker in a
good idea! Remember to adhere to the school dress
code!
Dropping off and Picking up Students:
Parents please do NOT drop students off or pick up students in the
parking lot where the cars are parked in the front of the school or on
any of the side streets. Please use the drop off lane in the front of the school.
This allows students to be dropped off on the sidewalk and reduces the chances of
students getting hit by walking through the lot or by passing cars. The Hazel Park
Police Department have been issuing tickets to any drivers that stop, stand or
park along the side streets and to people that stand or park in the drop off
lane in front of the school.
←---Drop off and pick up on this side! Enter from the
south side and exit at the north by following the curve.

FYI: Safety is a priority at HPJH so we do not call a
student out of class and will not release a student to
anyone during the school day without proper identification
even if the staff is familiar with the parent or guardian
that is checking a student out. There is a clipboard on
the front counter of the office for signing out students.
Please note that students will only be released to people
listed on the MiStar emergency contacts. We want to
make sure ALL of our students are safe!
If you have any questions, concerns, or comments, please feel
free to contact the Principal, Ms. Scholz at
[email protected] , or Assistant Principal,
Jeremy Gold at [email protected] . You may
also call (248) 658-2300.
