We are the PACK!

Smiley Thoughts

PACK Guardians and Students,

Have a wonderful weekend Huskies! It has been an awesome week and you deserve some rest. Please remember to check out the bolded items below and scroll to the very end of the newsletter so you don't miss anything coming up in the next few weeks. We will turn around a few times and it will be the end of the year!

7th grade social - On February 20th we will have our 7th grade social from 3:45-5:45pm and need your help! Please use this signup link to select a time/duty. Also, STUDENTS this is not a dance! This is a free event where we will sell concessions/pizza for a dollar and have music/games in the courtyard along with lots of new balls for those that love sports. It is a time to have fun without the structure of school!

Transfers - The Tyler ISD transfer window will open February 1st and close March 1st. The website provides all details regarding transfers and you can pick up a transfer application in the front office starting February 1st and they are due by MARCH 1st. Just a reminder that ALL transfers must re-apply every year unless you have moved to the official Hubbard school zone. Response letters regarding your transfer application will be mailed out April 1st. Transfer applications should be turned in at the front office.

Free athletic physicals - Mark your calendar! The Tyler ISD Free Physical day will be Friday May 9th. We will bus athletes to and from the venue. This is needed for 2025-2026 7th graders and Freshmen.

-------------------------------------------------------------REPEATS--------------------------------------------------------------------

Leaving Early - If you are picking your child up early from school please do so by 3:15 p.m. We do not allow students to be checked out after 3:15 p.m. since this could hamper our dismissal procedures and ability to retrieve multiple students before the bell. The front office is closed between 3:15 and 3:45 p.m.

Yearbook pictures - In addition to looking for some 1st day of school pics, we would love to have any of your great student pictures for consideration in the yearbook! You can use this yearbook google folder to upload them in addition to the first day pics folder.
