Not exactly hot off the press—more like cold to the touch after winter deliveries—but the Inside HF-L Winter 2026 newsletter has arrived and will be landing in mailboxes across the district in the coming days. This issue highlights HF-L’s continued focus on wellness, student engagement, strong financial stewardship, and meaningful community involvement, along with stories that celebrate creativity, achievement, and progress across our schools. Can’t wait for it to arrive? Take a look at the digital edition here. https://aptg.co/Q9QcZG #WeAreHFL

Congratulations to Jessica Riley on being a recipient of the BOE's Cougar Pride Award! Riley was nominated by student, Jacob P., who noted the following, Ms. Riley has been a wonderful teacher to have and is a very kind teacher and person. Every time I walk into Ms. Riley's classroom, I always feel welcomed, every day she greets each one of her students by the door of her classroom and is the only teacher who does that every day which in my opinion really shows her kindness. The main reason that I’m nominating Ms. Riley is her kindness and compassion, some days I was just down, and sure enough Ms. Riley came over and said if there's anything that I can do for you just let me know, not every teacher I know cares the same about the wellbeing of their students and colleagues. Thank you, Ms. Riley. #WeAreHFL
Reminder: Professional Development Day, 1.23.26, Staff in Session, Students not in Session. #WeAreHFL

We’re implementing Desha’s Law, which strengthens cardiac emergency response in schools. This means updated safety plans, AED access, and staff training in CPR/AED use. These steps save lives and keep our community prepared. 💛🖤 More info at https://www.hflcsd.org/article/2649620. #WeAreHFL
A golden start to the day at HF-L—reminding us that even the coldest mornings can bring something special. ❄️
