November 2019

Dear Hudtloff Families,

Last month, students began preparing for Student Led Conferences.  The SLC is an opportunity for your student to review and reflect on his/her academic progress.  Being reflective on academic progress is a wonderful transfer skill to high school.  Hudtloff’s goal is 100% family participation.  November 6^th – 8^th are half-days with the school day ending at 12:15PM, and SLC starting at 1PM.  After your student’s SLC, please stop by Hudtloff’s Lost and Found to look for any missing items.  Please visit our Scholastic Bookfair before or after your student’s SLC.  Hudtloff receives a portion of the money collected- which goes back into purchasing book for the library. Please come purchase a book and support your student’s library.

Veteran’s Day is November 11, 2019. Hustloff will honor military veterans at our Veteran’s Day Assembly on Friday, November 8^th to recognize and honor those who have served in the United States Armed Forces.  Hudtloff is honored to have as our speaker a representative from Wear Blue: Run to Remember.

This year's Fallen Officer Food Drive is November 26, 2019. Bring your non-perishable food donation to help support Emergency Food Network and honor our fallen heroes. Can't make it on the 26th? Drop off your donation at the Lakewood Police Department or Lakewood City Hall November 18 – December 6

As we break for Thanksgiving this month, the Hudtloff Staff and I are thankful for the partnerships that we have with our families, and we look forward in strengthening our partnerships. We are thankful for the time we spend with your students and the positive relationships that are fostered through classroom instruction, sports, clubs, and advisory. Thank you Hudtloff families for sending your students to us.

Save the Dates:

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:

• Appointments will be before or afterschool
• Appointment may or may not happen on the same day as the request

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.

Our P.R.I.D.E is Showing!

Respectfully Yours,
Principal Cindy Adams
Hudtloff Middle School
