Hunter Headlines

Hello Hunter Families,

I just wanted to pop in and say welcome back from Spring Break! We are excited for the warmer temperatures and sunshine that spring is surely to bring.

We recommend dressing students in layers in the coming weeks, a zip-up hoody they can easily take off throughout the day. Sometimes it doesn't warm all the way up until late in the afternoon, even on our nicest days! Also, thank you for making sure your students wear recess appropriate shoes each day. Its usually safest to make sure they have a strap on the back of their sandals, so they don't hurt their toes while running off their energy and wiggles on the playground.

It is also a good idea to pack a few extra masks, which most people are already doing, in student's backpacks. They might get a little sweaty throughout the day during gym and recess.

If your family happens to be impacted by COVID, please continue to let us know. You can call our main office or send an email to myself (mullinsj@gibdist.net), Mrs. Clark (clarkc@gibdist.net) and to your child's classroom teacher. This helps keeps everyone informed. We appreciate the patience and kindness that each family meets us with as we work through these situation. We know it can be stressful and inconvenient, we appreciate the team effort.

We are all looking forward to a great Spring!

My Best,

Mrs. Mullins

Friday, April 9th, is a half day of school for students!

We at Hunter Elementary want to spread the acceptance of Autism to all of our students and families the month of April. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) refers to a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, and communication. According to the Centers for Disease Control, autism affects an estimated 1 in 54 children in the United States today. Because autism is a spectrum disorder, each person with autism has a distinct set of strengths and challenges. The ways people with autism learn, think and problem-solve can range from highly skilled to severely challenged. We wanted to show our families and students love and support this month by learning more about Autism as well as participating in a fun Spirit Week!

The April lunch menu is attached as a PDF below. All students can receive breakfast and lunch at no charge for the remainder of the school year.

Please find the April PBIS update as a PDF attachment below. The PDF includes links to our March Assembly, April Lesson Examples, Autism Acceptance Month, and Positive Behavior Support Ideas. The document can also be viewed as a Google Slide using THIS LINK.

What is (PBIS) Positive Behavior Interventions and Support?

PBIS is a process for creating safer and more effective schools. It is a systems approach to enhancing the capacity of schools to educate all children by developing research-based, school-wide, and classroom behavior support systems. The process focuses on improving a school’s ability to teach and support positive behavior for all students.
