Hughes Family Weekly Newsletter

Principal's Message
As we approach the end of the semester, I want to encourage all of our students to stay motivated to get to the finish line for semester one. The semester grades will be final so make sure all assignments have been turned in and we do our best on all the remaining assignments for the semester. Parents, if you are not already signed up in Canvas as your child's observer, I HIGHLY recommend that you do so. This will allow you to monitor your child's grades, see assignments, and is also another way to communicate with teachers. You can also view student grades and attendance in ParentVue.
Next week, we will have FOUR minimum days: Tuesday 1/24 thru Friday 1/27, with a 1:10 pm dismissal for students. Please make sure that arrangements are made for pick-up so that students go home immediately after dismissal.

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!
