A Letter from the Principal A Letter from the Principal

Hello Hobart Middle School family! We hope you had a fantastic summer and are as excited as we are to kick off another amazing year together. Our halls are buzzing with energy, and we can’t wait to see all the incredible things our students and staff will accomplish.


To our new students and families, we extend a heartfelt welcome to Team Middle! We’re so glad you’re here. We’re excited to get to know you and share this journey together.


Our dedicated staff has been working hard this summer to make sure we’re ready for a strong start. From exciting curriculum updates to a variety of clubs, sports, and enrichment opportunities, we’re committed to providing a well-rounded and joyful educational experience. At HMS, we cherish each student's unique qualities and believe in cultivating a community built on respect, responsibility, and kindness. We’re here to support and empower every child—and we can’t do it without your partnership!


Last Year’s Highlights

We’re thrilled to celebrate our Students in Good Standing who have shown outstanding attendance, behavior, and academic growth—way to go! Nearly every subject and grade level is meeting or exceeding the state average, and the kindness radiating through our building makes HMS a truly special place to learn and grow.


This Month’s Exciting Events

  • August 6 & 7 (12–6 PM) – New Student Orientation

  • August 18 (5pm) – Back to School Night: Meet the teachers, get classroom info, and attend sport call-out meetings and tryouts!


These events are fantastic opportunities to connect, explore, and start the year strong.


Cohort Admin & Guidance Teams

We’re here to support you every step of the way! Students are grouped alphabetically by last name for administrative and guidance support:

  • A–GOM: Curatolo / Koritko

  • GON–PIO: Reno / Klukken

  • PIU–Z: Gill / Kammer

Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions or need assistance.


Things to Remember

✔️ Encourage students to attend orientation—it’s key to a confident start
✔️ Watch for students who may need extra support adjusting
✔️ Promote involvement in clubs, sports, and extracurriculars
✔️ Make sure student devices are charged and ready to go
✔️ Use ParentSquare and Canvas to stay connected and informed


Parents & Guardians

Your involvement in your child’s education makes all the difference. Encourage them to try new things, get involved, and embrace the adventure of middle school. Thank you for trusting us with this important part of their lives.


Yes… your kids are becoming teenagers! We’ll navigate these amazing, messy, exciting years together—with humor, grace, and lots of teamwork.


Let’s make this the BEST year ever! We’re grateful for the opportunity to partner with you, and we’re so excited for what’s ahead. Here’s to a school year full of learning, laughter, and growth at Hobart Middle School.
