Raider Update
A Weekly eNewsletter from Hastings Public Schools
Message from the Superintendent
Good afternoon Raider Families,
The countdown is on to the first day of school! In working with staff this week, there is definitely an excitement to have your students back in the buildings. By now, you should have received messages from your student's building. If you missed it or did not receive it, there are links below to the messages sent out. As we get closer to September, please don't hesitate to reach out to your buildings with questions. I know that safety (masking in particular) is on most, if not all, of your minds. Many of you have reached out and shared your thoughts and passed along information you have found, which I appreciate. Based on the messaging, it's clear that regardless of the decision, we will be in a situation where some folks will be happy and others will not. That said, ALL of your students are important to us, and their safety continues to be a priority, along with learning. I think everyone can agree that for the vast majority of our students, being in school is what's best for their learning and development. And so, we will continue to do all we can and make decisions in support of that.
Sincerely,
Bob McDowell, Ed.D.
Superintendent
Back-To-School Annual Updates
Families will be asked to review and update parent/guardian contact information and non-household emergency contacts. Families will also be asked to review and agree to their school's student handbook, the Student Device User Agreement & Responsible Use of Technology Agreement, and a COVID Daily Symptoms Check Agreement.
One parent or guardian from the primary household will be required to provide information for your children. Parents/Guardians from a secondary household will be able to update their own contact information. For step-by-step instructions, click here.
We appreciate your support in updating this critical information so that we can best serve you and your students.
