Principal's Message
Happy Early Hannukah! This week, not only did our students continue to impress us inside the classroom, but talent was exemplified on the court, track and field, and stage. Our Girls’ Basketball Team has made it to the Championship game this Saturday, December 17, at 11:00 am at Poly HS. Our Boys’ Track and Field Team took second place overall and ribboned in numerous individual events at the All-City Track and Field Championship Meet at Wilson HS on Thursday, December 15. Our Advanced Band, Intermediate and Advanced Orchestras played beautifully Thursday night to a full house. Finally, we collected 537 toys/games for Miller Children’s Hospital and will be donating the toys on Monday! This week was filled with many #HughesProud moments!

Students Leaving Early (Early Outs)
When you know you are picking up your student early, please avoid the student lunch time and PE class. We are unable to call for students once they are dismissed to lunch and cannot allow adults to walk on campus. During PE classes, there is not always an available adult to let the students in to the locker room to obtain their belongings. Additionally, you are welcome to notify the office about the early out ahead of time and we can let the PE teacher and student know to keep their items with them during that time. Thank you for your help and understanding.

Hughes Guidelines for Success

Hughes - A Green Ribbon School
Reusable Water Bottles: We encourage all students to bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated and reduce our plastic waste.
Clean and Green: As a Green School, our students should not litter on or around campus. Please make sure that all items are thrown away and that we also pick up trash that we see when walking or sitting by it. When we ignore trash on the ground, we are saying that we are OK with trash on the ground, and that's not the Hughes way!
Walk, Bike, Carpool: To minimize the amount of CO2 we add to our environment as well as noise pollution from traffic, we encourage all our students to walk, bike, or carpool to school, when possible.
Join the Hughes PTA! Our goal is for our entire school community to be members!
