Hubbard Woods Family Newsletter
September 9, 2024
Dear Hubbard Woods Families,
I’m excited to kick off our first full week of school! Last week was filled with community-building and establishing both classroom and school-wide routines. We had a school wide assembly that demonstrated the school spirit that has been instilled in students through our school songs. It was exciting to be in the room and fill the sense of pride.This week, we’ll continue to focus on strengthening these routines and our community while diving into the academic side of learning as well.
Additionally, each grade-level teaching team will participate in a second half-day of professional learning to further support the implementation of the ARC curriculum. We're looking forward to a productive and enriching week ahead!
Warm regards,
Ivory Ajavon
Principal
