Raider Update
A Weekly eNewsletter from Hastings Public Schools
Message from the Superintendent
Happy Friday Raider Families,
All in all, we had a great first week of school. In my visits to buildings, it did not take long for kids to look settled and school to look like school again. I heard a lot of great feedback from the staggered starts, allowing our kindergarten, 5th, 6th, and 9th grade students a little extra time and attention prior to being in the full swing of things. It was also great to see families at Todd Field last night for the home football opener! Our COVID number, as of this morning, is at 35.5, so no changes in our masking requirements.
The school board had a work session this past Wednesday and discussed options for one of our levies that has the last payment year of fiscal 2024. They also discussed their work topics for the remainder of the year, planned out the budget adjustment process between now and December, and gave us direction to start planning a middle school program review.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to your buildings with questions and concerns, we know that it sometimes takes until the second week of school to get things ironed out.
I hope everyone has a safe and relaxing weekend!
Sincerely,
Bob McDowell, Ed.D.
Superintendent
