Dear Robert Hunter families,
We can’t believe that we only have 19 days of school left! It is amazing what we have been through together and how far we have come. Our students continue to amaze us with the strong learning that they are doing every day. The end of the year is a busy time, and we are excited about fun end-of-year activities that are being planned. As we are planning for the next school year, we do so with increased optimism about more “normal” school experiences returning.
We know that there have been many questions about masks. As Dr. McGann has shared, students may remove their masks outside while maintaining social distancing. Our staff are bringing our students outside for extra masks breaks. Please pack additional masks in your child’s backpack in case they are needed.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Warm Regards,
Mrs. Glaab and Mrs. Braynor

May assembly
As part of our upcoming May virtual assembly, we are asking Robert Hunter students to share their expert advice about their grade level with students. Please see the following flyer and encourage your child to record a brief video on our school Flipgrid that will be shared in our assembly! Any videos from our Kindergarteners will also be shared with incoming K students during this summer’s orientation!
Student newsletter
Some of our Service Corp students wrote their own school newsletter to help share information about our school community. Please share their newsletter with your children!
Spirit day - May 28th
Each of our 4th grade classes will be choosing a spirit day for the remaining weeks of this school year. Mrs. Pinto’s class chose “Bring a Stuffed Animal Day!” Encourage your child to bring a favorite stuffed animal with them to school or have with them during virtual learning.
