MESSAGE FROM THE HIPS BOARD: Thank You, HIPS Community! As we wrap up the 2025–2026 school year, we want to thank our entire Hacienda Involved Parents and Staff (HIPS) community for an incredible year of support, involvement, and Hawk spirit. From volunteering at events and supporting classrooms to donating time, ideas, and energy, you helped make this year truly special for our students and staff. We couldn’t do it without you! To our promoting 5th graders, we are so proud of you and wish you the very best in middle school. Once a Hawk, always a Hawk! We hope all of our Hacienda families enjoy a fun, relaxing, and well-deserved summer. We can’t wait to see everyone back in August.

5TH GRADE PROMOTION PHOTOS: Congratulations to our promoted 5th graders & families. We hope you enjoyed the various photo options to help commemorate your time at Hacienda. Thank you to all the volunteers who made the day so memorable. PhotoBooth photos can be viewed & downloaded HERE. You may also upload any photos you have to share to this folder as well. 

PREORDER LOGOWEAR BY JULY 1ST: Whether you’re new to Hacienda, your student has outgrown last year’s shirts, or it’s simply time to replace those well-loved favorites, now is the time to order! Our Hacienda logowear can be worn on any school day and is a great way to show school spirit in comfort and style. Be sure to place your preorder by July 1st so your items arrive before the new school year begins. Only a Limited selection and sizes will be available for in-person purchases during the school year, so preordering is the best way to guarantee you get exactly what you want.ORDER HERE     Questions: logowear@hips.rocks

STAFF APPRECIATION 26-27: Next year, we’re still seeking a volunteer (or team) to help coordinate our monthly staff appreciation moments. You don’t have to lead each event, just help ensure they happen by setting up a Konstella sign-up (or finding a volunteer to do so) and sharing a simple treat idea each month. If you’re organized or small-scale events are your jam, this could be the perfect fit for you! This is a great small way to get involved! Please email community@hips.rocks if you’re interested.

HAWKS AT THE BALL PARK!: We've sold 188 tickets, and we're just 3 weeks away from Mr. Weber taking the mound and throwing out the FIRST PITCH! If we reach the 200-tickets-sold tier, we'll earn 35% in donation revenue!  Let’s keep the momentum going and pack the stands with Hacienda tie-dye as HIPS, and Mr. Weber cheer on the San Jose Giants as they take on the Lake Elsinore Storm on Friday, June 19. TICKET PURCHASE LINK Use code: HIPS Tickets: $18 (+$3.50 fee = $21.50 total) Seats: Upper-Level C (shaded). Every ticket purchased helps lower the cost of the 2027 5th Grade Science Camp! Stick around after the final inning for a grand slam fireworks show! Round up your friends, wear your tie-dye, and we’ll see you at the ballpark!

INCOMING KINDER HAWKS!: Do you have an incoming Kindergartener for the 2026-2027 school year? Save-the-date!! We are hosting a  playdate over the summer to socialize and get to know other families on Saturday, July 11, from 9:30-11:30AM at Paul Moore Park (Be sure to wear your Hacienda gear!) We've created a Konstella “Kindergarten 2026-2027” social group. Please join the group for the upcoming school year to stay informed about all the fun activities!
