We are so excited to start the 2026 - 2027 school year. Each year brings new opportunities to learn and grow. Our staff cannot wait to see how our students grow this year.

The Stop Finder App is the perfect tool for tracking your students' bus information. It will provide you with bus stops, arrival and departure times, route information and more. The transportation department sent emails to families with their unique link for utilizing this important application. Using the app is how you will receive your child's bus stop information. It will take a week or two for buses to acclimate to their routes. Expect buses to possibly be running late. We ask for your patience and ask that you arrive to the bus stop on time or maybe a little early.

We are happy to welcome many new faces at Huron this year. You will see the faces and positions in the newsletter below. We are welcoming back, CLP 1 teacher, Mrs. Katakis, and 4th Grade teacher, Mr. Altadonna, both were completing administrative internships in the district the past few years.

We are glad to have them back on our Huron team.

We also would like to welcome Ms. Rohm, our CLP 2 speech pathologist. Additionally, Mr. Mutrynowski is joining us as our part-time resource room teacher. We have Mr. Gilbert joining us as an EL teacher.

Also, Mrs. Kaznowski will fill in for Mrs. Kennedy while she is on maternity leave until November. Mrs. Kennedy recently welcomed a healthy baby boy to their beautiful family.

Mrs. Guinn will be joining Mrs. Wilson so that she is set to fill in for Mrs. Wilson when she has her baby sometime in September.

Additionally, we would like to welcome Mrs. Susan Henry our SACC Director.

The Parent Portal will open up on Monday, August 31st at 4:00 PM. At this time, you will be able to view your child's class placement. Please know that we have an amazing staff at Huron. Each staff member has the same goal and that is to help each student in their charge flourish at school. There is a lot of work that goes into placing students in classes. At this point, all class placements are final. It is no longer possible to make changes to class placements.

Completing the Education Benefits Forms is necessary for our school system to receive the necessary state funding. It impacts free and reduced lunch, but also other programs offered by the school. Even if you do not think you will qualify, we ask that you submit this form.

Below is the link to the parent portal and instructions for accessing the student forms to update.

There are up to 6 forms depending on the grade level of the student. Parents/Guardians are responsible to complete these forms.

• Student Contact Updates (parents will see all of the contacts for their students and be able to update any information.)
• Student Change of Address (parents will see the current address on file and be able to check if there are changes – if they have changes it will remain pending until residency documents are received and approved by the office staff)
• Permissions/Agreements (parents will acknowledge the handbook, AUP, Plagiarism and Cheating, Virtual Coursed, Concussion Awareness, Media Release, Custodial Concerns, and lunch money procedures)
• Transportation Request Form (Parents should complete requesting transportation for the a.m., p.m., or both – this form will be monitored by the transportation department for this year but will be required to be completed if they wish to have transportation for the 26/27 school year)

Our technology department has created a document with directions on how to complete the returning student forms, please see above.

The parking lot will always be busy at peak drop off and pick up times! Please pack your patience and adhere to the parking lot guidelines. A map is below for your reference. A few points to remember.

• There are "no parking" areas that are noted with no parking signs and cones, please do not park in these areas.
• Please utilize the drop -off lane. This lane is a moving lane. Cars should not park and get out of the vehicle. If you get out of the vehicle this is not the lane for you. You should park in a parking space.
• Please drive cautiously in the parking lot there are a lot of people in our peak drop off or pick up times.
