Hawk Talk
March 22-26, 2021
A Message from the Principal
Hobby Family,
We have almost made it across the finish-line. Today is the last day of the third grading period and report cards will be available for you to review by Friday, March 26th. We will include instructions on how to access and view your student(s) report card.
It is very important to review all the grades for the year. If you feel your student needs to be in person to finish the year strong, Hobby is a safe learning environment for your child. Please contact the front office at 210-397-6300, and we will set up a time to transition your child from virtual learning to In-person learning.
Praise, Promote & Protect.
As always, You Matter!

N-Genius- Help with Devices
Northside now has N-genius, a “Geek-Squad” located at the Kelly Smith Technology Center
to support student issues with the school issued technology. Therefore, Hobby will no longer swap out chromebooks. If a student’s Chromebook is damaged or malfunctions, contact the student hotline at (210) 397-0020 to schedule an Ngenius appointment. If needed, while the Chromebook is under repair, Hobby will issue a loaner Ipad so the student can access Schoology and be marked present in their classes.
