Dear Hubbard Woods Families,

Here are some wonderful snapshots by Jude Bamshad capturing the creation of our mosaic. We are thrilled that the mosaic will soon be on display for all to enjoy.

A huge thank you to the PTO for funding this incredible project and to our resident artist, Anna Soltys, for providing expert guidance and instruction in mosaic art. We also deeply appreciate Jude for collaborating with Anna and ensuring that every child had a meaningful and engaging experience throughout the process. It’s been wonderful to hear how excited students have been and how they have been sharing their experiences with their families at home.

Below are some photos of the mosaic coming to life. We are excited for everyone to see the finished piece first hand.

All the best,

Ivory Ajavon

Principal

To keep everyone informed on what we are seeing around the district, we are sharing that a lot of students are currently getting diagnosed with influenza, strep, and GI viruses. Please keep our health guidelines in mind when thinking of sending your child to school.

If your child is not feeling well and you are uncertain about sending him/her on any given school day, it is best to keep him home and observe him for further symptoms. If a child is too ill to attend school in the morning it is recommended that he/she stay home all day.

Everyone needs to be fever/vomiting/diarrhea free for 24 hours without the use of medication before returning to school.

We are grateful for your cooperation as we’ve worked to improve safety and security practices at our schools. That said, I would like to give some reminders when dropping off or picking up your children from before and school after school programs.

For before and after school care/activities:

• When parking your car or waiting in your car for your child(ren) please remember to not block any driveways in and around the school if you park on the street.

• Please follow their instructions involving pickup. i.e., sign in and out protocols.

• Do not leave your vehicle running when you come inside, even leaving your vehicle momentarily is a safety hazard and provides opportunities to thieves.

• Please use the designated parking spots to avoid blocking the lane of traffic when parking in the school lot.

• If you need to walk your chil(dren) to the building please use the designated door that after school staff have identified as the pickup dropoff location.

• It is strictly prohibited to enter school buildings outside of regular school hours without a staff member escort. This includes going to the RC or the child's classroom to pick up something they may have forgotten.

Thank you for your continued support in keeping our school as safe as possible.
