Raider Update
A Weekly eNewsletter from Hastings Public Schools
Message from the Superintendent
Happy Friday Homecoming,
A week of festivities ranging from door decorating and dress-up days to tonight's football game has made the school year feel at least a shred of normal. That said, as we begin the second month of school, please be sure to check in with your children about how school is going. In my discussion with one of our middle school counselors this morning, it is clear that while students are excited to be back, many continue to be anxious. A full load of classes, five days per week, in addition to navigating all of the daily school items, is something our students have not experienced since the spring of 2020. The impact of our recent past will continue to impact student learning and mental health. If you need assistance, please reach out to your student's principal or counseling department.
Our COVID cumulative COVID positive numbers since 8/26/21 are as follows:
HHS - 11 students, 1 staff
HMS - 18 students, 2 staff
Elementary - 11 students, 4 staff
Tilden - 2 students, 1 staff
Please continue to monitor your students and not send them to school if they are ill or have COVID-19 symptoms.
Finally, because it is already October, information regarding conferences will be coming out from your buildings. Please be on the lookout, as conference schedules and options are different for each level.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Bob McDowell, Ed.D.
