CONFERENCES

Parents are encouraged to discuss their child’s progress with his/her teachers. There are various ways to
communicate with teachers; e-mail, phone, and conferences. Visit our website at www.hudson.k12.oh.us
for a complete listing of teacher e-mails. Voice mail can be reached by calling 330-653-1316. During
school-wide conference days, teachers first begin scheduling conferences with parents whose children are
experiencing difficulties, then fill in openings with requests from other parents. Additional conferences
may be requested by parents or teachers throughout the year by contacting a teacher or the school
counselor.

DANCES AND SOCIAL EVENTS

Hudson Middle School social events may be held throughout the year. These events are for Hudson
Middle School students only.

School rules and regulations (including the dress code) apply at all school sponsored events. Discipline
problems, including improper dress, at a dance may result in the removal of the student, and a call home
for parental transportation. Discipline problems deemed to be of a serious nature by the administration
may result in a student losing his/her privilege to attend future after school activities.

Students must be picked up on time or they will be transported to the Safety Center by the police
for parent pick-up.

environment. The dress code shall be incorporated into the Student Code of Conduct or Discipline Code.

Accordingly, the Superintendent shall establish such grooming guidelines as are necessary to promote
discipline, maintain order, secure the safety of students, and provide a healthy environment conducive to
academic purposes. Such guidelines shall prohibit student dress or grooming practices which:
A. present a hazard to the health or safety of the student himself/herself or to others in the school;
B. materially interfere with school work, create disorder, or disrupt the educational program;

C. cause excessive wear or damage to school property;
D. prevent the student from achieving his/her own educational objectives because of blocked
vision or restricted movement.
