Counselor Connection
We have had a wonderful first week with our newest counselor, Ms. Castro! She is going to be a great asset to the Hobby Counseling Team. Our doors are always open and we will see any student. However, in an effort to get to know our students for the three years they are in middle school, we split them up based on their last names. The alpha split has changed some from the beginning of the year. Please take note of who your child’s counselor is:
Mrs. Stridde: A-G
Ms. Abell: H-M
Ms. Castro: N-Z
Counselors have finished up their first guidance lesson with all grade levels. We encourage you to talk with your children about the meaning of Grit and how it can fit into their lives.
Red Ribbon Week is October 25-29. Schedule of events for that week will be coming soon.
We're still on the lookout for mentors.
“We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.”
-Winston Churchill
If you are interested in becoming a mentor to a current Hobby student, please contact Natalie Stridde, Head Counselor, by phone (210-397-6325) or by email (Natalie.Stridde@nisd.net).Upcoming Events

The Family Engagement Program continues to use the electronic version for the campuses to share with all families.
The survey will offer families an opportunity to share their feedback and indicate any needs to be met by the campus, district, and/or any social service agency. All surveys must be completed electronically by the families no later than September 24th. Please use the following links which are in English & Spanish to share with campus families via classroom apps, email, text, etc.
Thank you for your consideration and continued support. Have a wonderful day.
