Dear Hudtloff Families:

After all that snow –it feels like spring is on its way. Hudtloff’s STEM Fair was a success, due to student participation and those who attended. It was nice to see all the proud families celebrate science. Thank you for attending.

Removing Students from School: In order to support academics at Hudtloff, we are asking that families do not remove students in the last 15 minutes of the school day. We are asking that families wait until 3:15PM. In emergency cases, we will honor the family’s need to access their student, and as always- we will honor prearranged requests for early releases. These requests need to be brought to the main office at the start of the school day.

Scheduling Meetings with Teachers/Administration: Families we know your time is very valuable, as is the teachers and administration. Please review and follow these steps for schedule a meeting with teachers/administration:

For Teachers:

• Call or Email the teacher to schedule an appointment
• Appointments will be before or afterschool
• Appointment may or may not happen on the same day as the request
• Appointment will depend on family’s and teacher’s availability

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.

Family Access: View student attendance, grades, and to load lunch account. 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.

Respectfully Yours,
Principal Cindy Adams
