Hudson High School also offers an “Explorer Period” every Tuesday. This is analogous
to “office hours” in a collegiate setting – all teachers are available to assist students
who need help. Hudson Middle School has a FOCUS period every day for all students.
This individualized learning time includes three components: intervention, literacy
enrichment, and an advisor/advisee program. Response to Intervention programs (RTI)
in Reading, Math, and behavior are implemented throughout the district for all students.
In addition, Academic Resource Center, a general education initiative to support
students, is available at the Middle School and High School.

Student Services

A full continuum of special education support and services is offered in a general
education setting or small group classrooms for students. These programs range from
inclusion to resource settings designed to meet the student’s individual needs.

From preschool to graduation from high school, the Hudson City Schools offers
inclusive programs, therapies and adaptive programs for our student needs. Parent
support is also provided by the Parent Mentor Program.

Gifted Services are provided in grades 3-8 by a Gifted Intervention Specialist. Students
also have a variety of opportunities for acceleration throughout their school years.
