Mrs. Regh's class is learning about capacity, liters, and milliliters. In class, they had to come up with desriptors for this statement, "Joao's water bottle has a capacity of 500ml." They stated that 500 ml is not a liter, 500 ml is half one liter, The liquid in the bottle is not to capacity. Using cups, you can split 500 ml into hundreds using 5 cups, one liter would not fit into the water bottle, and one liter is more than 500 ml. Mrs. Regh then drew a cylinder. She drew a line at 500ml and then asked, "How many more water bottles like Joao's would you need to fill the container?' The children were able to tell Mrs. Regh. They then went to their desks to do work and showed Mrs. Regh how they knew all the material! Mrs. Regh was so proud of them for persevering and they were proud of themselves!

Each week a student in Mrs. Calvanese's class chooses an experiment. The student follows a format for a lab report and presents it to the class. The student then performs the experiment. This week, in Mrs. Calvanese's class, a boy showed how light sticks react in different water temperatures. In hot water the stick glowed the brightest, in cold it was the dimmest, and in room temperature water, it was bright, but not as bright as the hot water.

Do you have a special talent (dance, sing, play an instrument, take karate lessons or gymnastics, etc.)? Do you like to perform?

Forest Ave is hosting the 13th Annual Hudson’s Got Talent Jr.!! HGT Jr. It is open to Forest Ave, Farley & Mulready 3rd & 4th grade students.

Dear Parent/Guardian:

This introductory letter is to inform you of our programming and enrollment information for the Hudson Public Schools preschool program in the fall of 2023.

Preschool Options:

Hudson Public Schools and CHAPS, Inc. have partnered to offer a part-day inclusion preschool at The Hubert School. This part-day preschool program offers a variety of classes in six classrooms and schedules for children ages 2.9-5 years old. The morning session is held from 8:30-11:30, the afternoon session is held from 12:00-3:00. Transportation is not provided. For your reference, current class choices and tuition rates are at www.hudsonchaps.com, and information for the 2023-2024 school year will be available in March 2023.

In addition, we have a few spots available in the Farley Integrated Preschool and the Mulready Integrated Child Development Preschool programs. Each preschool has a four-day class that mixes 3 and 4 year old students together. Classes are held Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 9:00 a.m.-11:40 a.m. Children must be 3 years of age by August 31, 2023 to be eligible. Transportation is not provided. Tuition is $2,305.00 and includes a non-refundable $65.00 deposit. Students will attend Kindergarten in their home district schools, which may be different from the preschool they attend.

Enrollment Process:

The Hubert School, operated by CHAPS, Inc., conducts registration in March. This process is coordinated by the Hubert School. Registration forms, fees and all enrollment paperwork are completed with the Hubert School. If you have any questions about the CHAPS part day classes, please contact the Hubert School (978)567-6130 and ask for Mrs. Patulak or Sally@hudsonchaps.com

The Farley and Mulready Preschools are operated by Hudson Public Schools. Since there are a limited number of openings, Hudson Public Schools will conduct a lottery for interested parents on December 22, 2022.

The lottery is early to alleviate families’ concerns that they could lose a possible spot in the Hubert School if they do not get one of the few slots in the Farley or Mulready programs.

Lottery Process for Farley and Mulready Preschool:

Any family wishing to enroll their three or four year old child in the Farley or Mulready preschool program will need to enter the lottery which will be held on Wednesday, December 22, 2022 at 9:00 a.m. on the second floor of the Hudson Public Schools Administration Building located at 155 Apsley Street. Families will receive a letter within a couple of weeks of the lottery letting them know if they have a slot for September 2023 or are on the wait list.

Enclosed is a preschool lottery form for Farley and Mulready. To enter the preschool lottery, complete the attached form and mail it to Renee Graca, Student Services Office, Hudson Public Schools, 155 Apsley Street, Hudson, MA 01749. The deadline for lottery applications is 4:00 p.m. on December 20, 2022. Please do not send the $65.00 deposit with your lottery application. If you have any questions about Farley or Mulready, contact me at 978-567-6100 x-42118.

Sincerely,

Renee Graca
