Hutchinson Herald

OUR MISSION is to cultivate a positive community of engaged critical thinkers.

OUR VISION is for all students to access high quality curriculum, engaging instructional activities, and a supportive learning environment,

WE ARE COMMITTED to closing the gap for our students who are below grade level while still ensuring that every student makes continuous growth each year.

It was a great first full week of school, students have been slowly but surely adjusting to being back. It has been great to see the APEX fundraiser getting involved with our students and doing activities with them during their breaks and lunches. All students also participated in our annual expectations assembly that was run by our Assistant Principal Mrs. Garcia. Thank you to all our amazing students who were very respectful in participating and being active listeners.

Thank you for the understanding for those families who had submitted schedule request changes. We did receive nearly 200 requests and have tried our best to adjust as best as possible. Request submissions were closed at the end of the school day on Wednesday as I stated in last weeks newsletter. If your students schedule was not able to be changed we do apologize. We look forward to a great rest of the first semester. It continues with our Back to School Night coming up this Wednesday at 5:30 pm. We hope to see all families, we will be having our Grand Opening for new Band Room at 4:00 pm for those that can come a little earlier for the ceremony and buy something to eat from our fundraising vendors.

I want to continue to invite and encourage all parents/guardians to become actively involved at Hutchinson Middle School. Opportunities include joining parent organizations such as the Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) @hutchfriends on Instagram, School Site Council (SSC), and the English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC), as well as attending school events throughout the year.
