Oct. 25 - RH Walkathon

Oct. 31 - RH Halloween Parade (details to follow)

Every class is paired with a “buddy class” at Robert Hunter, with younger students paired with older "buddies" from higher grades. This program fosters community, mentorship, and social growth among our students. Buddies engage in various activities together, such as reading, art projects, outdoor games, and collaborative learning. These activities are designed to encourage teamwork, build communication skills, and promote positive peer interactions. Buddy classes will meet monthly, starting this month.

The Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights law requires each school to establish a school climate team and appoint an anti-bullying specialist, who leads this team. The Robert Hunter School Climate Team is led by our school counselor and Anti-Bullying Specialist Nicole Del Duca and includes many other RH staff members. We are looking for a few parents to join our team to share your perspectives and ideas in ensuring a positive school climate at Robert Hunter. Please complete the form here if you are interested. Meetings will be held virtually from 8:30-8:45 once per month

If you are interested in helping with making copies/laminating for teachers please complete the form here.

We are planning our Halloween parade for 9:45 on Oct. 31st. Children should come to school in their costumes, should they choose to participate. As you are choosing costumes, please remember that plastic weapons, such as guns and swords, may NOT be brought to school as part of a costume. Additionally, please be mindful that scary or revealing costumes leave lasting impressions on young children. Your cooperation to keep our parade enjoyable for all is greatly appreciated. If you would prefer your child not to remain in their costume all day, please send in alternative clothing for him/her to change into after the parade. Families are invited to watch the parade on the blacktop if it is held outside. If it rains, we would need to move our parade indoors without family viewing.

Classroom parents who are assisting with class parties must connect with teachers prior to the event for approved food and activities. Food items and ingredients must be shared with the teacher at least one week prior to the celebration. You must adhere to class allergy restrictions as well as the district wellness policy HERE in regards to food.

This includes:

Offering snacks that do not contain sugar as the first ingredient

No candy or spun sugar products

Juices offered should be 100% fruit juice.

If you would prefer that your child not participate in Halloween activities, please email your child’s teacher, so that we can plan alternate activities.

Parent conferences will be held Nov. 21-26 (These will all be early dismissal days). Teachers will be reaching out regarding open conference times later this month. If you would like to request a translator for your conference, please complete the form here by Oct. 14th. You only need to complete this form if you are requesting a translator.

Ms. Tremel (STEM, G&T Math, and Stretch teacher) will offer STEM challenges for students to try at home. Check out the challenge for this month here. Please send a picture of your finished project by October 30. We will highlight some of the designs in our next newsletter!
