We are the PACK!

Smiley Thoughts

PACK Guardians and Students,

Tag, you're it! I hope you enjoy the next week with your student and reflect on all the many things we have to be thankful for. When we get back from break we have three more solid weeks of instruction before the Christmas break and the next report card grades go in.

Attention 8th graders! - We are excited to have our Huskies go to the CTC on Tuesday, December 3rd for the annual CTC Explorations event! What do you need to know as a parent? Your 8th grader will be bused to the CTC from Hubbard and will either be in an A.M. or P.M. group based upon their 8th grade class. We are also switching lunches and they will have lunch from 12:00-12:30 instead of 12:50-1:20pm. Here are the groups that you can check with your child about.

A.M. Group - At CTC 9:45-11:10 (Adams B2, Veatch A3,Studinka A2/3&B2/3)
P.M. Group - At CTC 1:00-2:25 (Adams A4, Veatch A4&B4, Studinka A4&B4/5th)

Progress Reports - Just a reminder that parents can check their child's progress reports online. Grades were due for progress reports Friday, November 22nd and will be posted when we come back from the break.

Progress Report - There is a NEW tab in the online parent portal (and student portal) labeled "progress report." This is ran every three weeks so you will have two of these each 9 week grading period. This is what we use to determine VIP status and is a snapshot of your student's progress at that particular date.
Report Card - There is still the "report card" tab on the parent portal which displays the students CURRENT average for the current reporting period. We have official report card grades every 9 weeks. You can click their average in the report card tab to see their individual grades on assignments.

I highly recommend visiting the "notifications" tab on your parent portal account to notify you of your students grades based upon your family standards. Thank you for assisting us in your child's education!

Be THANKFUL!

I found this note on the ground at Hubbard and am sad it did not have a name on it! So, I don't know who wrote it, but someone may recognize it. This Husky is thankful, as we all should be!

Food/Coat Closet at Hubbard

Shoutout to Pollard United Methodist Church for continuing to support Hubbard with donations of coats, food, and other items including this awesome custom donation box! When we come back from the break we are having a food drive through our Sources of Strength leadership program and would love your donations!

This week the Tin Can Cafe did it again with a Thanksgiving holiday SPREAD of food!

PTA Chik-fil-A

Thank you to the PACK PTA for doing another Chik-fil-A day! We still have students asking how they can get it, you have to read the Howler and see the flyer! Then, they were back again on Friday handing out cookies to ALL students, just because they are thankful for them all! We love the PTA!

Shiloh Road Church of Christ - "Friendsgiving Feast"

Of course, Shiloh Road Church of Christ was back this year for the annual "Friendsgiving Feast" where they serve the entire PACK! 18 crock pots of soups, stews, bisques (did I spell that right?!?), and desserts. We were STUFFED!

Band Winter Concert

The Husky band, under the command of Andria Friday and Hunter Barrett, completed their first performance in the new building with a PACKed house! If you were there, you saw we had to wheel in an extra 40 chairs because the cafeteria was packed. Shoutout to the band!

A house divided!

We can't wait for the UT vs A&M game next week! The PACK is split on who they are cheering for!
