Week of February 2

Posted Date: 02/03/2025

Dear Families,

February is an exciting month at Hurlbutt.  This Tuesday, we celebrate 100 days of learning together!  We are so proud of all of the progress our students are making socially, emotionally and academically.  This milestone in our calendar marks the number of days we have been in school. It also brings to life math concepts and skills.  As a community, we will reflect on all we have accomplished together.  We invite you to celebrate at home by asking your child what they have learned so far in school.  Encourage them to reflect on the friendships and social skills as well as their academic growth.  

Early Dismissal Tomorrow: February 3 

Tomorrow, Monday, February 3 is an early dismissal day for staff professional learning.  All grades dismiss at 12:35 p.m.  Car riders will be dismissed out of the main entrance circle.  Walkers on early dismissal days are dismissed out of the library doors.  Please remember that walkers as a dismissal option is for families who live within walking distance of school.  Driving to school and parking to pick up students as walkers causes parking challenges for our town residents trying to access the library, senior center and town hall.  Please remember to update the School Dismissal Manager on Monday by 10:00 a.m.
