Dear Hudtloff Families,
As we begin the 2026–2027 school year, the Hudtloff staff are excited and ready to support every student. Whether your child is returning or joining us for the first time, we’re thrilled to welcome you into our school community.
This year will be filled with growth, discovery, and connection. Our team is committed to each student’s academic progress and personal development while fostering a safe, inclusive, and engaging learning environment.
We also believe strong home–school partnerships are key to student success. Your involvement and communication make a meaningful difference, and we’re grateful to have you as partners in education.
CELL PHONES: One of our top priorities is ensuring that students are actively engaged in their learning during every class period. As we work toward this goal, we are also addressing the impact of cell phone use during instructional time. Cell phones can significantly disrupt focus, participation, and academic progress when used during class.
Please speak with your student about the importance of being present and engaged in class. This will allow them to make the most of their education and contribute to a more focused and productive learning environment.
ATTENDANCE: Attendance is essential for student success. It builds a solid foundation for academic achievement, personal growth, and future opportunities. When students attend school consistently, they gain access to daily instruction, develop critical thinking skills, and form meaningful relationships with peers and teachers. Attendance also fosters responsibility, and a sense of belonging—qualities that extend far beyond the classroom. Everyday counts!

Important Information:
Before School Drop-Off & After-School Pick-Up: To ensure the safety of all students during busy arrival and dismissal times:
- Please stay alert and watch carefully for children walking through the parking lot.
- Do not enter the designated Bus Drop‑Off/Loading Zone—this area is reserved exclusively for school buses.
Your cooperation helps keep our school community safe and running smoothly.
End-of-Day Appointments: At Hudtloff, we’re committed to protecting instructional time so every student can thrive. Whenever possible, please schedule appointments outside the school day. Students will not be called out during the final 10 minutes of school unless arrangements are made in advance. If your student needs to leave during this window, please send a written note to the main office at the start of the day. This helps us minimize disruptions and maximize learning for all.
Thank you for supporting a strong academic environment!
Bus Notes: Families, if your student needs to ride a different bus, please send a written note with them. Include your phone number, and have your student take the note to the main office in the morning or during lunch so staff can verify it and get administrator approval. Notes turned in after school may not be processed before buses leave, so early submission is important. Thank you for helping us keep transportation safe and organized.
Thank you,
Principal C. Adams
Hudtloff Middle School
