Happy New Year Hudtloff Families:

The staff and I look forward to welcoming students back from winter break.  We hope that it was restful and that all students are looking forward to returning to their academics and extracurricular sports and/or clubs.

This month Hudtloff will honor and celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. with an assembly on Wednesday, January 16 from 9:50AM to 10:30AM.  MLK, Jr. was awarded the Noble Peace Prize in 1964 for his role in the American Civil Rights movement in the mid- 1050s until his assassination in 1968.  He is remembered each year. 

The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character- that is the goal of true education.  Martin Luther King, Jr.

First semester will end on January 24, so please check Skyward Family Access to view your student’s grades and any missing assignments.  Please have a conversation with your student on finishing the first semester strong.  As a reminder, After-School Math Tutoring is on Tuesdays from 3:15PM to 4:15PM.

The January calendar is full with sports and extracurricular clubs. Winter 1 sports: Girls Basketball and Co-Ed Wrestling. Extracurricular Clubs/MESA meet on Tuesday’s from 3:15PM to 4:15PM.  Extended Science meets on Thursdays from 3:15PM to 4:15PM.  If your student is interested in joining a club, please connect with the main office staff for details and information #253.583.5400.

Hudtloff families you will notice a new addition to our main entry doors.  A new visitor entry system was installed at the main entry to the school.  This system will start sometime in February.  There will be more information to come on this new entry system.

Before School Drop-Off & After-School Pick-Up: Families please help us keep our parking lots safe – WATCH for students. Do not pull into the Bus drop-off/loading area.
Clover Park School District’s website has an online payments system-inTouch Receipting System. This is a great way to pay student fees and fines. It can be located in the Parent section of the website.

Afterschool events: Afterschool activities, sports, sports games, and Tutoring are supervised and have an end time. Any student who is NOT involved or attending one of these events will be asked to call home and get picked-up by a parent/guardian. Any student attending a sporting event and not following the district/school/sportsmanship policies will be asked to call home and get picked-by a parent/guardian. Any student who is constantly not getting picked-up after an event will not be able to attend future events.

Bus Notes: Parents, if your student is requesting to ride a different bus home (to go to a friend’s house or other) please send a note. Your student needs to bring the note to the main office to get approval. Main office will call you to verify, and an admin will sign. This needs to be done in the morning or at lunch. Any note brought to the main office after school leaves little time to verify prior to buses leaving. Please put your phone number on the note.
