Important Upcoming Dates
PACK Guardians,
Next week starts STAAR testing for all students. What do we need from you as parents? Inspire your students to do their very best! I am competitive and hope you are too. We want to shine compared to other campuses. I want our teachers to shine. I want YOUR kids to shine. It is game time and we just need them to do their best! Please read ALL of the bullet points below, there is so much going on and I want you to be informed!
Volunteers needed! - We are in need of Spring Fling Volunteers and 7th grade Social Volunteers for anyone willing to lend a hand. The flyers are further down in this newsletter.
Husky CHOIR - The 43 members of the Husky Choir attended Solo & Ensemble Contest last Friday at Tyler High. We came home with 1 third division rating, 18 second division ratings and 32 FIRST DIVISION RATINGS! Way to go Husky Choir!
6th grade guardians - A new opportunity is coming to Hubbard this year, Family Circle of Care Health Center will be hosting a Vaccine event day May 2 from 9 am - 2 pm. Please take advantage of this immunization clinic. Information packets will be distributed in the next 2 weeks to those students who need it. Completed forms must be returned to the school nurse to ensure that your student has a spot during the immunization clinic. You do not have to be present for your child to receive these required vaccines. Please contact the school nurse at 903-262-1567 or email eleanor.olivares@tylerisd.org if with any questions. This will help our incoming 7th grade students to be in compliance to get the required Tdap and MCV4 vaccination before August 14, 2024.
Jr. Vase - TOMORROW at Moore Middle School, our art students will be presenting to judges from 11am-Noon for Jr. Vase. I have seen some of their artwork and it is AMAZING! Come support these students and the arts!
Physicals - May 1st Tyler ISD will have a free physical day. We will bus students to the Brookshire's center. This is for incoming 7th graders (current 6th) and incoming 9th graders (current 8th). HERE is the flyer.
Foreign Exchange Sponsor - If you are interested in hosting a foreign exchange student for next year, please contact Courtney Smith at (903)279-3347 or courtney1smith@yahoo.com There is a high school student coming from Germany that needs a loving home to be a part of next year!
FIELD DAYS! - We will be hosting some Olympic themed field days the last week of school at Tyler Legacy High School. How does a student earn the privilege to go? We need to just see GROWTH in their STAAR/iReady. Not all students will perform at the highest level, but everyone can show GROWTH!
PTA 7th Grade Social RESCHEDULED!!! This has been rescheduled to April 30th! Also, this event is free for students but if you're able to help cover costs, please make a $5, $10, or donation amount of choice on our Hubbard PTA Square Site. Thanks so much!
