Join the Comet Club!
HCS's Mathematics and Reading Incentive Program is beginning again on October 1! Below are three attachments with information and the recording sheets for families. Students will be taking home a packet with all of this information next Monday, September 30. The hope is that students will practice the skills they are learning in school during some time at home, increasing their automaticity, skills, and self-confidence. Students who participate will be recognized as members of HCS's Comet Club!
The PBIS Corner
One key to successfully implementing PBIS is consistency across the building with all staff members. Staff at Hubbardston Center School is ensuring consistency by having three clear expectations. Students know that the expectations for everyone are to be safe, responsible, and respectful. Staff members are teaching school-wide lessons, developed by HCS’s PBIS committee, that reinforce how to be safe, responsible, and respectful across the school building.
A few more important tidbits...
- If you have not already done so, please complete the "Back to School" packet (which included Emergency, Health, Permission to photograph, etc.), and send it back to school with your child(ren).
- Grade 5 families, the final payment for Nature's Classroom is due to HCS by October 4, 2024.
- Dismissing your child early? To ensure safety, the adult dismissing a student early must come into the building to do this and sign the form at the Main Office, with Mrs. Walker.
- HCS's Student Handbook is linked below.
Open House
Thank you for partnering with the HCS staff and attending Open House! The turnout was great! Staff is committed to building relationships with families to ensure success for all children.
Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held on November 5. During this day, teachers hold individual meetings with families to update them on their child(ren)'s academic, social, and emotional progress. Stay tuned for more detailed information!
