Greetings Families:
Welcome back! The Hudtloff staff and I hope you enjoyed a restful and well‑deserved winter break. As we return to campus, our focus is on finishing the semester strong and supporting every student in meeting their goals. The second quarter and first semester will conclude on January 23, with the third quarter beginning on January 27. Report cards will be mailed home at the end of the month, so this is a great time for students to check in on their progress, complete any missing work, and reach out to teachers for support as needed.
Hudtloff will honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. this month, with an assembly on January 16th at 9:10 AM. Dr. King is remembered for his unwavering commitment to nonviolent activism and for the powerful words he shared through speeches such as I Have a Dream and his Letter from a Birmingham Jail.
In 1964, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his leadership in the Civil Rights Movement. His life was tragically cut short on April 4, 1968, yet his legacy continues to inspire generations.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. will forever be recognized for his courage, character, and transformative leadership.
Hudtloff has embraced Character as one of our Four Pillars for the school year. This focus directly supports the Hudtloff Mission: to ensure a learning environment in which all feel safe and that prepares our students to contribute and be successful.
We highlight six key traits of Character—Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Citizenship. Each of these qualities plays an essential role in helping students grow into individuals who contribute positively to their school community and are prepared for success beyond it. By practicing and modeling these traits, students build the foundation they need to thrive academically, socially, and personally.
