Humboldt News-Homecoming Edition
September 25, 2022
From the Desk of Dr. Butler
Greetings Humboldt Family,
We have completed three weeks of school and I am grateful to say that Humboldt has amazing staff, students and caregivers. As we continue to make the necessary adjustments to ensure the educational experience is successful for all students, I want to highlight a few reminders. All students are welcome at Humboldt High School, but all behavior is not welcome and/or appropriate.
- Parents please be mindful that due to the lack of staff supervision, the doors will not be open in the morning for students until 8:15a.m. The weather is getting colder!!!
- Students must attend all classes on time.
- Students must have a pass for an intended purpose while in the hall during passing time.
- Students that abuse the pass privileges, will have their name added to the NO PASS list.
- We do not have a TikTok class anywhere in the building. Students that are truant to class to make videos and/or roam the halls may be dismissed with a required readmit parent meeting.
- Disruptive and disrespectful behavior is not tolerated and the appropriate and immediate response will address the situation with parental contact.
Thank you for your continued support as you stay actively engaged in the educational journey of your child(ren).
