Dear Hudtloff Families,

As we open the doors to the 2025–2026 school year, the Hudtloff staff are filled with excitement and a deep sense of purpose. Whether your student is returning or joining us for the first time, we are thrilled to welcome you into our school community.

This year promises to be one of growth, discovery, and connection. Our dedicated staff are committed to supporting each student’s academic journey and personal development, while fostering a safe, inclusive, and engaging learning environment for all.

We believe that strong partnerships between home and school are essential to student success. Your involvement, encouragement, and communication play a vital role in helping your student thrive—and we are grateful to have you as our partners in education.

This month, we honor the vibrant cultures, histories, and contributions of Hispanic and Latino communities. From art and music to leadership and innovation, your impact enriches us all. ¡Gracias por todo lo que aportan!

CELL PHONES: One of our top priorities is ensuring that students are actively engaged in their learning during every class period. As we work toward this goal, we are also addressing the impact of cell phone use during instructional time. Cell phones can significantly disrupt focus, participation, and academic progress when used during class.

Please speak with your student about the importance of being present and engaged in class. This will allow them to make the most of their education and contribute to a more focused and productive learning environment.

ATTENDANCE: Attendance is essential for student success. It builds a solid foundation for academic achievement, personal growth, and future opportunities. When students attend school consistently, they gain access to daily instruction, develop critical thinking skills, and form meaningful relationships with peers and teachers. Attendance also fosters responsibility, and a sense of belonging—qualities that extend far beyond the classroom. Everyday counts!

Important Dates: 

Important Information:

Before School Drop-Off & After-School Pick-Up: 
To ensure the safety of all students during busy arrival and dismissal times:

• Please stay alert and watch carefully for children walking through the parking lot.
• Do not enter the designated Bus Drop-Off/Loading Zone—this area is reserved exclusively for school buses.

Your cooperation helps keep our school community safe and running smoothly.

End-of-Day Appointments: At Hudtloff, we are dedicated to ensuring every student thrives academically. To protect valuable instructional time, we kindly ask families to schedule appointments outside of the school day whenever possible. Students will not be called out of class during the final 15 minutes of the school day unless prior arrangements have been made. If a student needs to leave during this time, they must bring a written note to the main office at the start of the school day. This helps minimize classroom disruptions and maximizes learning time for all students. Thank you for your continued support in fostering a strong academic environment!

Bus Notes: Families, if your student needs to ride a different bus home, please send a written note with them to school. The note must include your phone number and be brought to the main office either in the morning or during lunch. This allows time for the office to call and verify the request with you, after which an administrator will sign off on it. Notes submitted after school may not be processed in time before buses depart, so early submission is essential. Thank you for helping us ensure safe and organized transportation for all students.

Thank you,
Principal C. Adams
