Dear Robert Hunter families,
This week we celebrated the 100th day of school - we can’t believe how quickly this year is going. We know that we have faced many challenges, but we are moving in a positive direction as cases are going down and we are now in the “Yellow.” We thank all of our families who have shown grace, understanding, and support throughout the pandemic. We thank our teachers and staff members who continue to go above and beyond for our children every day - always showing compassion and dedication.
Thank you to everyone who helped plan Valentine’s Day celebrations this past week. We are grateful to work with such a supportive PTO and homeroom parents who are always ready to assist!
We hope you enjoy the long weekend!
Warm regards,
Mrs. Glaab and Mrs. Braynor
This week's calendar:

Lost and Found
We have many items in our “Lost and Found.” Please check the pictures below to see if any items belong to your child.
We will begin donating unclaimed items for children in need. Please ensure that you remind your child to pick up any of their belongings. Also, please label your child’s items that are brought to school (lunch boxes, water bottles, jackets, gloves, hats).
Masks
As you are aware, the mask mandate is being lifted, and our district is permitted to offer families choice regarding masking. Masks will be optional at Robert Hunter School beginning March 8th. We will honor each family's choice. Optional mask wearing will involve parents making decisions for their children and then reinforcing those decisions. It will be up to you and your family to have those discussions.
As stated within Dr. McGann’s letter from 2/15/22, “Regardless of their choice, everyone will be treated with the dignity, respect, and care that all deserve whether selecting to wear a mask or not wear a mask. The District will ensure that the environment is conducive to learning and that everyone feels safe and respected at all times.”
Please note children will still be required to wear masks on the bus - this is a federal mandate.
Kindergarten Registration
If you are registering your child for Kindergarten, you may drop off your registration packet this week at Robert Hunter outside the front entrance.
