Dear Razorback Community,
Thank you for enduring the cold weather this week. It was wonderful to see everyone back in the building on Wednesday. As the community experiences colder temperatures, we kindly request that additional layers of clothing be labeled with the student's first and last name, especially for our younger students (PreK-2nd grade).
Report cards and tutoring letters were sent home on Friday, January 19, 2024. Tutoring for Kinder through 5th-grade students will commence on Monday, January 22, 2024, from 3:30 to 5:00.
Parent conferences will be conducted from Monday, January 22, 2024, to Friday, January 26, 2024. Your learners' teachers are currently in the process of scheduling conferences via Sign-up Genius.
Community members, we are eagerly anticipating another excellent week at Hogg New Tech.
Proud Principal of Hogg New Tech,
Ms. Molina
