Removing Students Towards the End of The School Day: Hudtloff is focused on ensure all students are successful in their learning.  Class time is especially important to achieving this goal.  Please support your student by scheduling appointments outside of the school day.  Please note that students will not be called out of class in the last 15 minutes of the school day without prior arrangement or an emergency. Students must bring a note to the main office at the start of the school day in order to be released in the last 15 minutes of the school day.

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.
