Last Blog Bits 5/29/2015
News From the Office….
This is it! The last Blog bits of the school year! I can’t believe how fast the year went! We have 5 more SCHOOL Days until we are out for the summer!! We will be dismissed at 1:00 on Friday, June 5. We hope you all have a fun, safe summer and we will see you back in the fall.
Here are a couple reminders for the end of the year:
1. If you are bringing in a frozen treat for a birthday or just for fun, please bring them in a cooler. We do not have a lot of extra room in the lounge freezer. Thanks for your help with this!!
2. If your child has meds at school, you MUST pick them up by the end of the day on Friday June 5 (last day of school). Any meds that are left at school at the end of the year will be disposed of. Thanks!
5th Grade News….
4th and 5th grade Field day is June 2 from approximately 9:20-1:45. Rain date will be on June 3. Please send a waterbottle, sack lunch (unless you ordered one from food service), and put on sunscreen!
Safety reward will be on June 3 and the reward is a secret! If you son or daughter is a safety, please have them check around for a safety belt at home as we are missing some of them. Thanks
As stated in the note sent home in January, we have experienced many changes in funding for our extracurricular activities. Because fifth grade camp serves as a culminating activity for our students, we will not have a formal fifth grade celebration. Instead, on Thursday, June 4 the teachers have planned a fun end-of-the year punch and cake social at Georgetown for the fifth graders. This activity is for students only; no volunteers are needed at this time. Thanks
Vote August 4….
|
On August 4, 2015, voters will be asked to consider a $21.88 million bond proposal to address growth and improve facilities. This proposal will extend Hudsonville Public Schools’ current debt levy for six additional years without raising the current tax rate. The district’s enrollment has grown from 3,555 students in 1994 to 6,450 in 2015 and is projected to exceed 7,000 students in 2020. The proposal being considered would provide for: • Safe and secure entrances for all buildings • Renovations to the recently purchased Heritage School building • Renovations to Alward Elementary • Additions at Riley Street Middle School • District-wide technology enhancements • Gradual replacement of an aging bus fleet |
