  • Brother/Sister Puppies go as a Pair

    February 18, 2020 By InFREE

    Our little brother/sister pair needs a home.  They cannot be separated.  A shared dog house will be included. As much as it pains me, they are just too much for our other dog to handle.  They are SO full of energy and love to be all up in your business  🙂  Cooper is bigger and a sweet teddy bear.  Annie was the runt of their litter and is a fireball of energy.  They do best outside and love to run.  We have been taking them back and forth between our house in the city and our country’s property.  However, we do not have a fence and they are much better equipped for outside.  We are having to spend more time in the city and that is just not fair to them.  They do bicker with each other sometimes, usually over food or a toy, but it never lasts for long.  And some of that probably has to do with being in such close proximity.  Due to so many family issues over the past few months, they have not had their shots,  but have had no health problems whatsoever.  We estimate they are 6-7 months.  Please email Jillcrowe12@gmail.com for pictures and if interested call or text 205-542-2038.

  • HES Kindergarten Registration

    February 10, 2020 By InUncategorized

    Haleyville City Schools will hold kindergarten registration on Wednesday, April 1, 2020, from 8:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m.   Registration will be held at the Haleyville Elementary School library.  A child who is being registered for kindergarten must be five (5) years old on or before September 1, 2020, and meet Board enrollment requirements before he/she can attend school for the 2020-2021 school year.  Parents or guardians registering prospective kindergarten students are encouraged to bring the following:

    1. The child’s birth certificate
    2. Immunization certificate showing that the child has had all of the required immunizations:  D.P.T., polio, measles, and mumps.  ALABAMA STATE LAW REQUIRES PROOF OF THE IMMUNIZATIONS BEFORE A CHILD CAN ENTER KINDERGARTEN OR FIRST GRADE
    3. Social Security Card
    4. Proof of residency
    5. Custody Papers (if applicable)
    6. Driver’s License of parent/guardian

    A team of Kindergarten teachers will be administering the HES Kindergarten Screener to all children who will attend kindergarten in the fall of 2020.  Thus, it will be necessary for you to bring your pre-school child with you to registration so we can administer this short screening instrument.  We plan to make this a fun experience for the children.  You can help by planning to make this a special outing for you and your pre-schooler.  In an effort to avoid over-crowded conditions and give each child individual attention, we ask that you adhere to the following schedule:

    LAST NAMES BEGINNING WITH: A-L 8:30-11:30

    M-Z 12:00-2:30

    We realize that some of you may work and can only come at certain times.  We will adjust our schedule to accommodate working parents.

    It is important that all parents or guardians register eligible children on April 1.

    Further inquiries can be made by calling Haleyville Elementary School at 486-3405.

    Disclaimer:  The enrollment of homeless, migratory, immigrant and ELL students will not be denied or delayed in accordance to the Haleyville City School Board’s policy File:JBCB.
