Smiley Thoughts
PACK Guardians and Students,
Please read all the information below and check out the calendar events, so you are aware of the homecoming week theme, game, and dance. We also have PSAT on Wednesday!
Free and Reduced Lunch - We have paper applications in the front office for those needing free/reduced lunch. Please let us know how we can help you! If you would rather, you can go online, click "create an account", and fill it out. You will need your students' ID numbers.
Are you registered to VOTE? - I am inspiring all adults to double check their registration status and make sure they vote in the upcoming presidential election.
HOMECOMING - Homecoming week is October 15-18 with a dance that Friday. The game is on Tuesday and we are having a theme week!
- Pep Rally - All grade levels will get to attend the pep rally on Tuesday at 9a.m. There will be a small parent section as well. Parents may check in at the front office starting at 8:25a.m. Please let us get students settled into class first.
- 6th grade wear WHITE
- 7th grade wear BLACK
- 8th grade wear ORANGE
- Mums/Garters - These are allowed on Tuesday, for game day only. They need to be reasonable and not pose a distraction to instruction. That means no flashing lights and loud bells. Thank you for understanding that our priority for students is a distraction free learning environment.
- Dance - Tickets for the dance go on sale starting Monday during all lunches and will run all week. If you are a member of the PTA, the ticket is $3, if you aren't a member of the PTA, the ticket is $5 per student. In addition to that, we will be selling temporary tattoos for $1 that can be worn on October 15th for the Hubbard Spirit dress up day. Each ticket and tattoo bought will give the student one vote they can use to choose what teacher they want to participate in a fun and messy game during the pep rally. The 6th grade dance will be immediately after school in the cafeteria from 4-5:30pm. The 7th/8th grade dance will be from 6-7:30pm with tickets being sold that week during lunches. The theme for that day is 80's and neon!
-------------------------------------------------------------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.

Legacy Basketball - October 23rd
Coach Barber/Smith at Tyler Legacy are excited about the upcoming basketball season! They wanted to share information with you all about our Red Raider Madness happening October 23, 2024 at Legacy. This will be a great night to kick-off the basketball season with door prizes and games to showcase the Boys and Girls Basketball programs at Legacy!
Future Red Raiders
Athletics has approved the Future Red Raiders shirt for free admission for our K-6th grade Future Red Raiders with a paying adult. This admission is to all home games at Legacy for Basketball, Baseball, Soccer and Softball but does not include playoff games. The price of the shirt is $10 so this shirt pays for itself if a student attends 2-3 events. This store will close October 23rd and shirts will be delivered to Hubbard for distribution.
