Counseling Center Corner

Schedule Change

PACK classes are intended to assist students in several ways: tutorials, extra support in Math and Reading, and to build community and positive relationships. For instructional purposes, please note that counselors received a list of students to change for PACK classes. The goal is to help students grow. Counselors are in the process of completing these changes. This change will not affect your child's schedule, it will only move PACK teachers for applicable students. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our Academic Principal, Mrs. Armbrust.

"Give Back to School"

Hughes is partnering with Office Depot in their "Give Back to Schools" program, and we would love for you to participate. You can do this by simply stating Hughes MS when you make your purchase. Office Depot should have our School ID, but you can find business cards that you can place in your wallet to use if needed (the ID is: 70122272). They will give back 5% in credit for qualifying purchases to our school when you present this card, or share our school name and ID. Please be a part of our yearly fundraiser as we work hard to support our students, staff, and families in need. This is an easy way to give back to the school as we work hard to help students learn and grow.

Nurse Corner

Just a reminder: attendance is essential to your child’s success at school! Throughout the year, there may be health reasons to keep your child home from school. The following guidelines may be help determine when your child should stay home from school due to illness:

Fever of 100 degrees or higher in the past 24 hours

Your child must be free of fever for a full 24 hours without the help of fever-reducing medications (such as Tylenol or Motrin) before sending them back to school.

Vomiting and/or diarrhea in the past 24 hours
Itchy, red eyes with discharge
Rash that has fluid or pus coming from it until treatment has been received, and a note from the doctor states that your child may return to school.
Ringworm of the scalp (until treatment has started)
Head lice (may return after appropriate lice treatment) -Your school nurse will need to check your child’s head before he/she returns to class.

Please encourage your child to wash his or her hands often, use hand sanitizer, and cover their noses and mouths when coughing or sneezing. It is also helpful for your children to get plenty of sleep and to eat healthy foods, especially breakfast.
Always remember that I am available to assist you if you have any questions on whether or not you should keep your student home. We share a common goal – the health, safety, and educational success of your child!
