Hubbard Woods Update

Hubbard Woods Families,

How is it our last week of school? Thank you for partnering with us to make the year successful. We are so fortunate to have such an amazing school community. For those families that are "graduating" from Hubbard Woods, we will miss you and we thank you for all that you have contributed to our HW family over the years.

It will be a busy summer for our renovations and construction at Hubbard Woods. We had a festive groundbreaking ceremony last week. See the picture below! Please note that our playground will be closed for the summer.

I wish you all a wonderful summer. If you need to find me, I will be housed at Carleton Washburne in June and August. It will be exciting to see how HW looks in the fall after our first summer of renovations!

Sincerely,

Beth Carmody

As we are getting close to the end of the school year, just a reminder that all medication must be picked up by a parent/guardian by the day of school, unless the child is self carry for their emergency medication. Please wait to pick up emergency medication (epi pens, inhalers, Benadryl, seizure medication, etc) until after all field trips are completed and closer to the last day of school. If your child has any over the counter medication, feel free to pick it up as soon as possible.

As described on our Medication Permit Procedure and Guidelines, " At the end of the school year parents will be notified to pick up their child's medication. Any student medication must be picked up by the last day of school. Any students medication remaining in the buildings at the conclusion of the last day of student attendance will be discarded at the end of the day with an administrator present."

Thank you Nurse Ashley

All books are due back in the library ASAP! Books will be accepted through Friday, June 9. Can't find the book anywhere at home? Please let Ms. Delzell know as soon as possible at lizdelzell@winnetka36.org. Thank you for your support!

To All Elementary School Families:

Just a quick email to let you know it is that time of year again. Recruitment assemblies will be taking place this month at Crow Island, Greeley and Hubbard Woods for current 1st-3rd grade students. 4th grade students will have a separate assembly where they will learn more about the program at Skokie. 4th graders can also start on any string instrument including the string bass!! Students will be introduced to the instruments that they can learn at school: violin, viola, cello and string bass. (4th graders only) The registration forms will be electronic again this year via Google Forms.

If you have more than one child signing up next year, feel free to use the same form for both (all) of your children. The registration deadline will be Friday, June 10th. Please let us know if you have any questions. Looking forward to working with your children again next year!
