Hughes Families Weekly Newsletter
#HughesProud
Principal's Message
Our students were iReady! This week, our Owls took their first iReady diagnostic of the year and the data from this assessment will help our teachers and school support student learning. If your child was unable to complete the assessments this week, that is OK. They will have another opportunity when we take our second diagnostic later this year.
Next Thursday is our Back to School Night and I would like to invite all our Owl parents/guardians to attend this important night. Back to School Night is from 5:30-7pm and is an opportunity for you to meet your child's teachers and see our newly renovated campus! At 8:10am and 5pm, there will be our Annual Title 1 Parent Meeting in the auditorium for those interested in attending. More information about Back to School Night is below in our newsletter.
Here are the highlights of this week's newsletter:

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!
