The Hudson City Schools are committed to providing character development through the
Leader in Me Program in Grades K-5. We believe the 7 Habits outlined in this program
will encourage and promote such qualities as respect, responsibility, and readiness among
all students. The 7 Habits are as follows: Be Proactive, Begin with the End in Mind, Put
First Things First, Think Win-Win, Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood,
Synergize, and Sharpen the Saw. Every staff member is committed to the goal of
having all students achieve these qualities. Consequently, there will be student
leadership opportunities, activities, and recognition integrated with the Leader in Me
throughout the school year.

Lockers

Student lockers are located near the homerooms. We stress the importance of
respecting private property; therefore, students will not be permitted to place locks on
their lockers.

Lost and Found

The best guarantee of finding lost items is to have everything labeled with students’
names (lunch boxes, jackets, hats, gloves, etc.). All items are delivered to the Lost and
Found area of the school. Periodically throughout the year all unclaimed items are
donated to charity. Please check early and frequently when something is missing. To
avoid an item being lost or stolen, please have your child refrain from bringing valuable
property to school.

Lunch Program

Students may buy a hot lunch or bag lunch which includes milk or may bring a lunch and
buy only the milk. Hudson Nutrition Services uses MyPaymentsPlus software. This
allows lunch lines to move more efficiently by eliminating the exchange of money during
lunch. Students use their finger to record what they are buying that day. Parents may
put money on their child’s account by either sending cash or a check to the school made
payable to Hudson City Schools Food Service. Please include the students’ name and ID
number on the check or envelope. Parents can also make deposits online at
www.MyPaymentsPlus.com for a small fee. The lunch program begins the first day of
school for all students. If you have any questions about food service, please contact
them at 330-653-1203. Menus can be found at www.hudson.k12.oh.us.

When students bring their lunch to school, we would appreciate that they be as
nutritious as possible. We discourage fast food and pop or sugary beverages. Thank you
for your cooperation regarding our efforts for a healthy mind and healthy body.
