PACK Guardians and Students,
HOT DOG SUPPER!!!! - This upcoming Friday is our biggest community event of the YEAR and we need volunteers! Here is the signup genius for helping. We will be slinging hot dogs, enjoying student performances, and have lots of games/fun activities for middle schoolers from 5-7pm at the Hubbard courtyard and cafeteria. This is a free event to attend, but student wristbands to participate in the games are $10 via the PTA Website. They can be purchased at the door with cash. You won't want to miss it! Here is the official agenda of student performances and employee dunking booth participants.
• Entry is free
• K-8th grade students can enjoy unlimited activities with a $10 wristband
• Hot Dogs, ChickFilA sandwiches, chips, drinks & candy will be available for purchase
• Spirit Gear, including the 1964-2024 *60 Year Commemorative Shirt* will be for sale
• Raffle Tickets will also be for sale for 3 awesome gift baskets!
PARKING - The Burns Commercial property to the north and northwest of Hubbard is not intended for student pick up/drop off. The property managers have began handing out flyers to communicate to parents and have posted signs (pic below). Please do not use this for parent pick up. Once we have the bus lanes finished at Hubbard in the upcoming month, traffic flow will get even easier. Students should not loiter that property to be picked up later in the day, they can remain at the front of Hubbard as long as needed.
Basketball at Hubbard - There is a boys basketball parent meeting on Monday, November 4th at 5;30pm in the cafeteria. Now that volleyball season is over, we are excited about the upcoming basketball season. Campus administration and coaches are implementing a new policy at Hubbard that students are not allowed into the games unless accompanied by a guardian. Students who stay after school will not be allowed to enter the game until an adult has arrived.
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.
-------------------------------------------------------------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.
