Hubbard Elementary
Back to School 2023
Hello Hubbard Elementary Families!
Hooray!! The first day of school is a two weeks away! We are so excited to see our students and cannot wait to hear their sweet voices and laughter in our classrooms and hallways. We are looking forward to a year filled with wonderful learning experiences and building strong connections with our students and families.
On Monday, August 14, parents/guardians will be able to view their child's teacher via PowerSchool.
Please read the information below to help prepare and plan for a successful school year!
I look forward to seeing you all soon!
-Principal Burgess

Drop-Off & Pick-Up Routines
School starts at 8:50am. Students may be dropped off as early as 8:30am if they are eating breakfast at school. Please note that there is not any supervision before 8:30am.
FRIDAY DAY OF SCHOOL (August 24th)
- On the first day of school, please be patient with parking if you choose to drop off your child(ren). You will be allowed to walk your student to the classroom. We are asking that parents leave campus immediately after walking their student to class so that teachers and staff can begin the day. The classrooms do not open until 8:50 with the first bell.
- Starting on Friday, August 25th, when students arrive to campus, they can go to the cafeteria at 8:30 for breakfast or go to the playground. All students will be in the cafeteria or on the playground until 8:48. At 8:48, kid friendly music starts playing as a signal for the students to line up at their classroom door. We have many staff outside and around the front to help students throughout the year with this process
- School is dismissed at 3:35 (every Wednesday, students are released at 1:30). Our parking lot is generally crowded with parents/caretakers picking up, so we appreciate patience as we all have the same goal in mind - safety for all and getting all students home safely!
- BUS: If students ride the bus, the classroom teachers and support staff walk students to the bus area to wait for the buses. For pick-up at the front of the building, parents/caretakers are able to stay in the car and pick up or park and walk to the front of the building.
- PICK-UP: If students are being picked up, students are walked to our pick-up box at the front of the building and wait inside the yellow painted box on the concrete. When students see their caretaker (in the vehicle or in person), they raise their hand and a Hubbard staff member excuses them to their caretaker. This helps students stay safe, so thank you for your patience as students learn this process at the beginning of the year. We follow this same procedure every day of the year.
Main Office is Open!
Child Nutrition

Later this month, families will be able to start using LINQ Connect through the Kuna School District mobile app as well as through our website or they can download a separate app for LINQ Connect.
"What happened to my money MySchoolBucks?
Answer: "It will be transferred to LINQConnect and parents/guardians will see it when they connect to the new system." More information to come!
KSD Transportation
What if there is no bus number in Power School?
Students must be assigned to a bus in order to ride. If you do not see a bus number/bus stop/bus stop time, your student is likely not assigned to a bus after Aug. 14, contact the transportation department at at (208) 922-1013. Please leave a message if you don't reach a staff member.
If you are new to our district or if your child is new to riding the bus, please call as soon as possible our Transportation Department at (208) 922-1013.
Staff is available at 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday during the school year. 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the summer.
The start of school is a high call volume. We appreciate your patience and ask that you please leave a message.
Hubbard Parking Lot
Our parking lot gets very busy. Porter Road gets busy, but the Hubbard staff and parents work together to make this as safe and smooth as possible! Please be prepared by carefully reviewing a map of our parking flow.
We ask for adults to stay in the car and help your child(ren) get in and out quickly if you follow the blue arrows. If an adult needs to get out of the car, please park and walk your child(ren) over safely with the crosswalks.
We do have many preschool families at Hubbard for our developmental preschool and Head Start. We ask all Hubbard families to follow our safety guidelines. We care about student and adult safety!
