Week of Sep 16: Start with Hello Week

  • During the week of September 16, we will share the positive message of Start with Hello week with our students via morning announcements. 

  • The purpose of Start with Hello week is to help build connections among students, to counteract loneliness and isolationism. With a focus on positive actions students and staff can do, we hope to build upon our culture of inclusiveness and belonging. 

  • On Tuesday, September 17, as part of our focus on being one community and part of the Hudson family, we are all wearing our Portrait of an Explorer shirts for our first POE day of the school year - Adaptive Problem Solver. Shirts will be distributed in homeroom on this day. We are all Explorers and support each other!
