Day 91/180

On Tuesday, staff participated in a full day of professional development focused on Universal Design for Learning, often referred to as UDL. UDL is an approach to teaching that recognizes students learn in different ways and encourages teachers to design lessons that offer multiple ways for students to access information, stay engaged, and show what they know. The goal is to remove barriers to learning and create lessons that are flexible, inclusive, and accessible for all learners. This was the second formal UDL training for staff this year as we continue to focus on engaging your child in meaningful and enjoyable learning experiences.

Next week will be a busy and exciting one with both the JES and JMS Winter Concerts. The JES concerts will take place during the school day on Tuesday. Families attending the JES concerts will enter through the Receiving Doors in the back of the building, with doors opening 15 minutes before each show (see times below). While we do not recommend dismissing siblings from class to attend concerts, as it can disrupt learning, families may do so by signing students out through the main office prior to the performance. Please note that JES students also participate in a rehearsal concert, which gives all students the opportunity to see their peers perform. The JMS Winter Concert will take place Thursday evening at 6:30PM. JMS families should enter through the doors by the ramp near the gym, with doors opening 15 minutes before showtime. We hope to see many of you there to celebrate our students.

Lastly, our Patriots Friday brought us some good luck last week, so we are keeping the momentum going with another Patriots Friday this week. Go Pats!!!

Preschool Registration for the 2026-2027 School Year is now open! We will be holding open houses on February 4 and March 4 (both Wednesdays) from 10-11am, for families of children who will be 3 or 4 years old at the start of the next school year, and who are interested in attending the Hull Integrated Preschool. Parents and guardians can bring their child to meet the teachers, see the classrooms, and have their questions answered. Please email Amy Hyde at ahyde@hullpublicschools.us for additional information. Sign up for either open house here: Preschool Open House

If your child will be 5 years old on the first day of school, it's time to register for kindergarten! Please join us for K-101 on February 4 at 5:30pm to learn about the kindergarten curriculum, meet the teachers and tour the classrooms. We’ll inform you of important dates and information to get your child started on their educational journey.

Please go to our website to start the registration process, or contact Katy Rae Abatuno at kabatuno@hullpublicschools.us for more information. Students already enrolled in Hull Integrated Preschool at the Jacob School will automatically advance to kindergarten ─ no re-registration is needed.

We are excited to kick off another session of Intramurals. Floor Hockey will take place on Monday for students in grades 6 and 7, followed by Soccer on Tuesday for our 4th and 5th graders. On Thursday, students in grades 4 through 7 can look forward to Nintendo Club, a favorite option that brings students together for friendly competition and social connection. These opportunities continue to give students a chance to stay active, connect with peers, and enjoy school in new ways. Click here for more information.

Students and staff are all invited to celebrate the Playoffs by wearing Patriots gear or colors tomorrow! LETS GO PATS!!!
