Hawk Happenings- July 2021
Hawks Fly As One
The NEW school year is NEAR!!!
Greetings Hutchison Families,
It's been quite an adventure wondering what this school year will bring us but we are eagerly preparing for our students to enter our building for a new adventure in learning! As Covid continues to evolve and is ever-changing our way of operations with many unknowns, I ask for our school community to continue to be considerate and respectful of one another's stance on the pandemic, vaccinations, masking, etc. We are here to provide the best educational opportunity possible for students to be successful and career-ready!
IGNITION DAY- AUGUST 18TH
All of our freshman and any new students to Hutchison are invited to be at school on August 18th for our annual Ignition Day! This is a day organized by upper-class Ignition Mentors as a way to support our new students with a successful transition to Hutchison High School. There will be organized activities and students will have a chance to become familiar with the school, get their class schedule, lockers, meet one another, etc. before the entire student population arrives on August 19th.
OPEN HOUSE- AUGUST 18TH 5:00-6:30 P.M.
We will host our annual fall Open House on Wednesday, August 18th from 5:00-6:30 p.m. Come enjoy some refreshments and cookies, browse the school and see some of our upperclassmen in action in their cluster areas, meet staff, and visit the tables in the commons to learn about our various clubs, athletics, and activities.
FIRST DAY FOR ALL STUDENTS- August 19th
The first day for ALL Hutchison High School students will be Thursday, August 19th. Our regular school day will run from 7:30 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. daily. Thursday, August 19th and Friday, August 20th will be a 1-6 bell schedule.
Here's to a great new school year!
Robyn Taylor, Principal
When Are the Student Schedules Ready?
Will My Student Be Issued A Chromebook?
If your student has their own personal device they are welcome to use it for school. The Fairbanks School District has a network named FNSBSD-BYOD for students and staff to connect a personal phone or laptop to the district Wi-Fi. Please go to this page for instructions specific to your device's operating system. https://www.k12northstar.org/byod
What Should My Student Bring To School The First Day?
Students should come to school with a positive growth mindset. We encourage students to think of school as a daily job interview to help set them up for a career-ready future.
