We are the PACK!

Smiley Thoughts

PACK Guardians,

Thank you to everyone who showed up this week for Meet the Teacher! Next year we will return to "New Student Orientation" but we thought everyone needed to come get acquainted with the building this first year. If you were unable to come get your student's schedule, you may come between 8 and noon Monday/Tuesday to pick it up in the front office. Although you will not be able to walk the building, we promise that we are going to help all students get familiar with the building and know where their classes are the first couple of weeks. The PACK can't wait to see your students!

Hubbard Guardian Handbook - Please review this document so you are informed of our specific policies including dress code, A/B day schedule, and Bell Schedule. All of these are also located on the Hubbard Website under "documents." Here are a few changes from last year:

8th grade recognition requirements (p.8-9) - In order to hold students to the highest standards for their academics and behaviors, we have adjusted our 8th grade recognition requirements. Please review these with your 8th grader.
Chromebooks (p.15) - There are MANY reasons why we chose to change our Chromebook policy including cost of damages, cost of lost chargers, time dealing with those issues, persistent misusage outside of school hours, lack of access on testing days, etc. but I wanted you to know we will not be issuing Chromebooks to each individual student. Instead, they will be kept within the classrooms for student access. We will be communicating a method for students to check them out through the media center if they are needed for instructional purposes outside of school hours.
Drop off/pickup (p.16-17) - The complete Hubbard MS construction, including competition football field/track and parking lots, will not be finalized until Summer of 2025. Currently, ALL students will enter through the front doors, including bus riders. Please make sure you understand the pick up/drop off procedures and traffic flow. Yes, it is going to take more time the first week, but everyone will adjust quickly! This also includes where students will report in the morning.
Cafeteria seating - (p.16) - Yes, students need social time with their friends, but the campus needs time to create structure and ensure our procedures are being followed. At the beginning of the year the students will have assigned seats, but that is loosened up soon and they will have "free seating" if systems are being followed.
Fundraising - (p.21) - To make sure we are being clear and up front regarding campus fundraising, there is information on page 21.

School Supplies -Please make sure your student is prepared by having purchased their school supplies in accordance with their grade level. If you are in need of financial assistance, please reach out directly to the campus.

Convocation Fun
