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.

This past week was filled with exciting activities for our students and opportunities to come together as a community! Our annual Hutchinson Haunt was a great success, and it was wonderful to see our students and families enjoying the festivities. A heartfelt thank-you to our staff, student, and parent volunteers who helped make this event possible. Seeing our Hawk community work together to create special experiences for our students brings me great joy! Our students and staff also brought plenty of creativity and school spirit with their Halloween costumes on Friday.

Please remember that there will be NO SCHOOL for students this Friday, November 6, 2026.

We also have an accomplishment to celebrate! At the NLMUSD Board Meeting on Monday, October 26, Hutchinson Middle School was recognized for earning the Educational Results Partnership Honor Roll distinction. Hutchinson was the only middle school in our district to receive this honor! This recognition reflects the hard work of our students, the dedication of our staff, and the continued support of our families. There is so much to be proud of here at Hutch!

On Thursday, October 29, our district held its annual College & Career Exposition at Norwalk High School. This event gave students and families an opportunity to explore college options and learn about potential career paths. I encourage our Hawks to attend next year’s Expo—it is never too early to discover new interests and begin imagining the possibilities ahead!

Finally, a reminder to help keep our school community safe: the staff parking lot is not a student drop-off or pick-up area. Beginning tomorrow, Monday, November 2, we will resume using the chain to close the parking lot entrance, as we have in the past. Please follow traffic laws, use designated drop-off and pick-up areas, and be considerate of our neighbors and their driveways. Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we work together to keep arrival and dismissal safe for everyone.

Thank you for your continued partnership and for making Hutchinson such a special place for our students.
