Husky Howler 8/18/23 (Guardians)
We are the PACK!
Smiley Thoughts
Hubbard Guardians,
It has been a great first week at Hubbard! New students have learned the bell schedule, the campus layout, and our basic Husky expectations. I know many of you have heard that we have assigned seating at lunch. However, this is NOT all year. We are teaching our lunchroom expectations and will allow free seating soon! Also, back by popular demand, we will have the VIP lunch seating outside for students who meet the grade/attendance/behavior requirements. Here are a few updates/reminders:
Chromebooks - All students were issued chromebooks this week and will need to bring them charged each day. Please make sure your students are handling them properly and keep up with the charger as well.
Hubbard Guardian Handbook - Just a reminder, 95% of your questions could be answered by taking a look at the Hubbard Guardian Handbook.
