part of the daily operation of the school. Volunteer forms can be found in the
school office.

Parents can also participate in PTO and PTA. Both organizations actively support
the school and provide support to parents whose children are of school age.

Our website will include information about other opportunities offered by the
school and by the school district for parents to join with us in conversation about
the education of our children. We value your role in making a difference in the lives
of the children of Hudson.

Parents who wish to visit classrooms should make an arrangement in advance. This
allows the teacher to select a visitation time in the best interest of all students in
the classroom.

REACH Services

Hudson meets the diverse needs and abilities of students through curriculum
differentiation. Gifted services formally begin in grade 3. In grades K-2,
classroom teachers plan and design enrichment lessons and assignments to provide
appropriate educational experiences for all students.

In grades 3-8, a gifted intervention specialist is assigned to service students who
are eligible for gifted services in Hudson. Eligibility for direct REACH services is
determined by a cognitive test score. Students who qualify for REACH services
will spend three to four hours a week in a language arts pull-out class designed to
address their unique intellectual and emotional needs.

Reporting Student Progress to Parents

There are four reporting periods and two scheduled parent-teacher conferences
per year for First Grade. Report cards are issued at the close of each nine-week
grading period. A hard copy of the report card will be sent home for the first
and fourth grading periods. Parents can access the report card online
through Home Access Center for the second and third grading periods.
Kindergarten has two reporting periods and report cards are issued at the close of
each eighteen week semester. Parent-teacher conferences are held in the fall and
spring and any other time by request of the parent and/or teacher. Evaluation of
each student’s progress is based upon his/her day-to-day achievement. Student
work habits and effort is also noted on the formal report card.
