Hudson High School has had a busy and exciting week! Our school trip to Washington, D.C., provided students with valuable opportunities to learn beyond the classroom and explore nation’s history.. It is always great to see our students engaging with the world around them and making the most of these experiences.

We also have exciting news to celebrate! Hudson High School received two awards from the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) in recognition of our work with the Seal of Biliteracy. We are incredibly proud of our students and their accomplishments in developing proficiency in multiple languages. This recognition highlights the hard work, dedication, and commitment of our students and staff, and we are excited to continue celebrating the many ways our students excel.


Looking ahead to November, we will be making adjustments to our Monday and Wednesday schedules to ensure that all students receive equal learning time. These changes are intended to support a more consistent and equitable learning experience for everyone. Students should pay close attention to the schedule posted as they enter the building each morning to make sure they are aware of the day's schedule and any adjustments

Thank you to our students and staff for your continued flexibility and commitment to making Hudson High School a great place to learn and grow.

🕒 Attendance

This year, Hudson High School’s data focus is on student attendance. We have formed a committee of staff that will look at the data and identify ways to improve student attendance. We know that students who feel more connected and engaged have better attendance. One resource that the attendance committee will use is Attendance Works. The Attendance Works website has many resources if families are interested.

🎒 Student Item Drop-Off Reminder

We understand that students occasionally forget something at home! To help families while also keeping our building secure, we have set up a student item drop-off area in the vestibule.

There are two designated bins:

Technology: Chromebook chargers and other technology-related items

Other: Any other small items your student may need

Backpacks and sporting equipment should NOT be placed in the bins. Please label and leave these items on the designated table.

We ask families to limit entry into the school whenever possible by using the vestibule drop-off area. This helps us maintain a safe and secure environment for all students and staff.

We also encourage students to remember to bring everything they need with them each morning. While we are happy to help when something is forgotten, developing the habit of being prepared is an important part of becoming more independent.

🚦 Drop Off & Pick Up

Please follow the student drop off signs in the Parking Lot. Students that are driven to school need to be dropped off in the designated lanes.


After the first few days of school, we are still seeing drivers who are not following our new traffic protocol. These procedures are in place to keep our students safe and to help traffic move efficiently.

Please remember:

  • Do not drop students off at the crosswalk. This creates a safety hazard for students and pedestrians.
  • Move all the way to the end of the designated drop-off lane before allowing your student to exit the vehicle.
  • Students should carefully walk to the closest crosswalk to enter the building safely.
  • Please follow all directions from staff and posted traffic signs.

Our Resource Officer will be out monitoring the traffic pattern and issuing tickets to vehicles that are not following the established procedures.


See below the pattern that was sent previously.


Morning Arrival: The doors open for Hudson High School at 6:45 AM. Students who arrive before this time will not be allowed entry to the building.


When dropping off students, please observe the NEW traffic pattern pictured below.

  • Do not enter the bus loop.
  • Do not enter the first 4 rows of the parking lot. These rows are reserved for our mobility impaired students, visitors with a handicap sticker, general visitors and staff parking.
  • If you have a student driver (learners permit) and/or are switching drivers at drop off, please take the second left as you come into the parking lot and park in a space to swap drivers in the back area of the lot.


Afternoon Pickup: Students are dismissed at 2:03 PM.

In the afternoon, families may line up in the front bus loop, starting on the far end of the building over by the gym. The picture below illustrates where afternoon cars can line up. DO NOT park in front of the building! This is a fire lane and cars will be asked to move. DO NOT block the handicap spots in the first row. If this loop fills, vehicles should utilize the two drop-off rows in the parking lot.

🚌 Bus Routes

Bus routes will be published in August and can be found on the Transportation page of the Hudson District Schools website. Families are encouraged to go to the Transportation page in Aspen to view your eligible student(s) bus number and bus stop.


If you are unable to access Aspen, families with students that are eligible for transportation (see eligibility guidelines below) should review the bus routes for their student’s school to find the bus number and bus stop that is closest to their home.


All students are automatically assigned to a bus number and bus stop (if eligible determined by First Student software). Bus number and bus stop are subject to change each year depending on enrollment.

Transportation Eligibility Guidelines

  • All students in Kindergarten through Grade 12 living more than one mile from their assigned school are eligible for Transportation.
  • Students that live under one mile from their assigned school are considered "walkers" and are not eligible for transportation services.
  • Eligibility is determined by First Student Bus Company software.
  • Safety issues are taken into consideration when determining transportation eligibility as well.


Families/students, please remember there is a 10 minute window at the bus stops for estimated pick up and drop off times posted on our bus routes.
