help guide our children all year long. Let's show them how special they
are!! All parents are encouraged to show their support in some small way,
either by a handmade card or sign, flowers, snacks, treats, goodies,
beverages. On your next trip to the grocery store, maybe pick up
something a little extra for the teachers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

He has worked with our after school program teaching French through cooking. Our students are already benefitting from Baptiste’s engaging efforts.</span></b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large; text-indent: 36pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Our student performers recently completed their very successful drama production of </span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large; font-style: italic; text-indent: 36pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large; text-indent: 36pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. This production, made possible by our partnership with the Very Merry Theatre Company, provided an opportunity for more than sixty Hunt Middle School students to be involved in a first-rate theatre performance. Special thanks go to Very Merry’s Don Wright for his great work with our students. <span style="color: #660000;">Felix Nadworny </span>starred as Willy Wonka and <span style="color: #660000;">Will Belluche</span> starred as Charlie. It really was a fantastic show and all of the cast and crew did a great job!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large; text-indent: 36pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large; text-indent: 36pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">With spring upon us we are busy planning for the end of our school year which will be here before we know it. Due to weather-related school closures during our snowy winter <span style="color: #660000;">our last day of school will now be Monday, June 19th</span>. Our <span style="color: #660000;">eighth grade promotion ceremony has been moved to Thursday, June 15th at 1:00 P.M</span>. Another very special annual event to which we are looking forward happens on <span style="color: #660000;">Friday, May 26th when we host next year’s sixth grade students for our annual Step Up Day.</span> On Step Up Day current fifth graders will visit Hunt to learn all about our school and the awesome learning experiences that lie ahead during their middle school years. More information on these exciting HMS events will be sent out to families soon. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large; white-space: pre-wrap;">We are also gearing up for our eighth grade class trip. This year, as in the past several years, our HMS eighth graders will be taking a class trip to the Six Flags-Great Adventure Amusement Park in Lake George, New York. Students are currently raising funds for their trip through a cookie dough sale. Please consider purchasing a tub of cookie dough from an HMS eighth grader or from our main office to help support this fun culminating experience for our students. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large; white-space: pre-wrap;">Our aforementioned HMS play was made possible through the efforts of many parent and guardian volunteers who eagerly donated their time and talents to providing a high quality dramatic experience for our students. These efforts included set construction, costume design, makeup application, coaching and instruction on acting, singing and dancing, and many other tasks. These volunteers’ dedication and role-modeling are invaluable to making our yearly drama production a success. Special thanks go to a special group of parents who have been enthusiastic and active supporters of our drama program during the years that they have had students at Hunt. <span style="color: #660000;">Colby Kervick, Brooks Elder, Kate Belluche, Bella Nadworny and Kat Kleman </span>have dedicated countless hours to helping make our drama productions fantastic experiences for many, many past and present Hunt students.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">On Tuesday, April 11, the Burlington School Board will meet with the Burlington Education Association \(the teachers' union) and a mediator in an effort to resolve remaining issues that led to impasse in March. Among the core issues to be discussed are the different positions on operational changes, health care, and what constitutes a sustainable rate of growth in total compensation. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">A summary of the Board's and union's positions moving into mediation can be found on the <a href="http://district.bsd.schoolfusion.us/modules/cms/pages.phtml?pageid=332596&842c23&sessionid=a4789ac8e6e9717aba7ecedeaf131128" target="_blank">District's website</a></span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">This time of year the Superintendent’s Office receives questions about the administrative hiring process and administrator placement for the next school year, like “can I be part of a hiring team?” and “who will my child’s Principal be?”</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hiring and developing leaders is both an art and a science. Investigating the previous process a year ago, parents, administrators, and media spoke about inequities that tookplace. The consensus was to do something different. So last year our District embarked on a new administrative hiring process based on research-based leadership competencies, comments and reflections received from staff and parents from previous hiring processes. <a href="http://district.bsd.schoolfusion.us/modules/groups/homepagefiles/cms/2383192/File/3_29_17%20BSD%20Administrator%20Hiring.pdf?e22db7&sessionid=a4789ac8e6e9717aba7ecedeaf131128" target="_blank">Read more...</a></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Burlington School Board has been negotiating a new teachers’ contract with the Burlington Education Association (BEA) since last fall to replace the current contract that expires this August. The </span><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Board requested open negotiating sessions so the community could be well informed throughout the process. </span></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Board’s negotiating team made these requests to the BEA </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;"> at several closed-door bargaining sessions and in written communications between October 2016 and February 2017. The Union has, however, rejected these requests.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In an effort to understand the status of this issue across the State, the School Board checked with the Vermont School Boards Association (VSBA) and the Vermont Superintendents Association (VSA) and learned that nearly 60 percent of districts currently bargaining are doing so in open session.</span></span></div>

<span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">“The people of Burlington want transparency,” said Mark Porter, Chair of the Burlington School Board of Commissioners. “We’ve made a concerted effort from the beginning to follow the same open negotiation process that many other school districts in Vermont have begun, but the BEA has not agreed to hold contract talks in public, in response to our many requests to do so.”</span></span></div>

School Board to meet the needs of students as we look to the future,”
Superintendent Yaw Obeng said. “I want to thank the voters of Burlington for
supporting the vision of the District, and I look forward to sharing our accomplishments
in the coming year.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large; font-weight: normal;"><br />

begin in the coming months. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;"><i>Included in the proposed $85.5 million FY '18 general fund budget is $100,000 in debt service repayment for the new $19 million bond. The authority to bond must be approved separately from the budget. In developing the budget, District leadership included the debt service payment for FY '18 so the funds would be available for that expense if the bond was approved. </i></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;"><i>Therefore, the approval of the bond will not add any additional expense to the FY '18 budget.</i><b> </b></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">Burlington, VT</span></b><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;"> — <i>Exploring Human Origins: What Does It Mean to Be Human?</i>, a national traveling exhibition of the Smithsonian Institution, will be on display at the Fletcher Free Library through March 17, 2017.</span><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">Through panels, interactive kiosks, hands-on displays and videos, <i>Exploring Human Origins: What Does It Mean to Be Human?</i> invites audiences to explore milestones in the evolutionary journey of becoming human — from walking upright, creating technology and eating new foods, to brain enlargement and the development of symbolic language and complex societies — advancements that define the unique position of humans in the history of life.</span><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">Based on the Smithsonian’s <i>What Does It Mean to Be Human?</i> <span style="background: white;">permanent exhibition hall at the National Museum of Natural History (NMNH), <i>Exploring Human Origins: What Does It Mean to Be Human?</i> seeks to </span>shed light on what we know about human origins and how we know it. The exhibition welcomes different cultural perspectives on evolution and seeks to foster positive dialogue and a respectful exploration of the science.</span><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">“The topic of human evolution is fascinating, we are proud that the Fletcher Free Library can help encourage a constructive, informative discussion on the subject,” said Mary Danko, Fletcher Free’s Library Director. “We encourage people of all beliefs to explore the exhibition and participate in associated programming, and delve into human origins in a way that is captivating and relevant.”</span><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;"> <a href="http://www.humanoriginsbtv.com/" target="_blank">Please visit the exhibit website</a> </span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">for a complete calendar of programming and events. Core partners in this initiative are the University of Vermont (UVM) and the University of Vermont Medical Center, St. Michael’s College, Champlain College, RETN, and the Friends of the Fletcher Free Library.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #1f497d;"> </span></span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">Burlington, VT</span></b><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;"> — <i>Exploring Human Origins: What Does It Mean to Be Human?</i>, a national traveling exhibition of the Smithsonian Institution, will be on display at the Fletcher Free Library from 18 February 2017 to 17 March 2017.</span><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">Through panels, interactive kiosks, hands-on displays and videos, <i>Exploring Human Origins: What Does It Mean to Be Human?</i> invites audiences to explore milestones in the evolutionary journey of becoming human — from walking upright, creating technology and eating new foods, to brain enlargement and the development of symbolic language and complex societies — advancements that define the unique position of humans in the history of life.</span><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">Based on the Smithsonian’s <i>What Does It Mean to Be Human?</i> <span style="background: white;">permanent exhibition hall at the National Museum of Natural History (NMNH), <i>Exploring Human Origins: What Does It Mean to Be Human?</i> seeks to </span>shed light on what we know about human origins and how we know it. The exhibition welcomes different cultural perspectives on evolution and seeks to foster positive dialogue and a respectful exploration of the science.</span><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">“The topic of human evolution is fascinating, we are proud that the Fletcher Free Library can help encourage a constructive, informative discussion on the subject,” said Mary Danko, Fletcher Free’s Library Director. “We encourage people of all beliefs to explore the exhibition and participate in associated programming, and delve into human origins in a way that is captivating and relevant.”</span><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />

available to 8th grade students at both Edmunds and Hunt Middle Schools. The district elected to pilot the seminar
model as a way to offer algebra in a stand alone course for middle school
students who wanted the academic challenge and rigor in addition to 8th grade
math. Based on feedback from teachers, students and community members the pilot
is considered a success. Students
entering 8th grade will have the option to select the seminar for the 2017-2018

<br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">Through panels, interactive kiosks, hands-on displays and videos, <i>Exploring Human Origins: What Does It Mean to Be Human?</i> invites audiences to explore milestones in the evolutionary journey of becoming human — from walking upright, creating technology and eating new foods, to brain enlargement and the development of symbolic language and complex societies — advancements that define the unique position of humans in the history of life.</span><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">Based on the Smithsonian’s <i>What Does It Mean to Be Human?</i> <span style="background: white;">permanent exhibition hall at the National Museum of Natural History (NMNH), <i>Exploring Human Origins: What Does It Mean to Be Human?</i> seeks to </span>shed light on what we know about human origins and how we know it. The exhibition welcomes different cultural perspectives on evolution and seeks to foster positive dialogue and a respectful exploration of the science.</span><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">“The topic of human evolution is fascinating, we are proud that the Fletcher Free Library can help encourage a constructive, informative discussion on the subject,” said Mary Danko, Fletcher Free’s Library Director. “We encourage people of all beliefs to explore the exhibition and participate in associated programming, and delve into human origins in a way that is captivating and relevant.”</span><o:p></o:p><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Are
you watching kids scroll through life, with their rapid-fire thumbs and a
six-second attention span? Physician and filmmaker Delaney Ruston saw this with
her own kids and learned that the <i><span style="color: #660000;">average kid spends 6.5 hours a day looking
at screens.</span></i> She wondered about the impact of all this time and about the
friction occurring in homes and schools around negotiating screen time—friction
she knew all too well. </span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">Burlington, VT</span></b><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;"> — <i>Exploring Human
Origins: What Does It Mean to Be Human?</i>, a national traveling exhibition of
the Smithsonian Institution, will be on display at the Fletcher Free Library
from 18 February 2017 to 17 March 2017.</span><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">Through panels,
interactive kiosks, hands-on displays and videos, <i>Exploring Human Origins:
What Does It Mean to Be Human?</i> invites audiences to explore milestones in
the evolutionary journey of becoming human — from walking upright, creating
technology and eating new foods, to brain enlargement and the development of
symbolic language and complex societies — advancements that define the unique
position of humans in the history of life.</span><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">Based on the
Smithsonian’s <i>What Does It Mean to Be Human?</i> <span style="background: white;">permanent exhibition hall at the National Museum of Natural History
(NMNH), <i>Exploring Human Origins: What Does It Mean to Be Human?</i> seeks to
</span>shed light on what we know about human origins and how we know it. The
exhibition welcomes different cultural perspectives on evolution and seeks to
foster positive dialogue and a respectful exploration of the science.</span><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">“The topic of
human evolution is fascinating, we are proud that the Fletcher Free Library can
help encourage a constructive, informative discussion on the subject,” said
Mary Danko, Fletcher Free’s Library Director. “We encourage people of all
beliefs to explore the exhibition and participate in associated programming,
and delve into human origins in a way that is captivating and relevant.”</span><o:p></o:p><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">We are still welcoming donations for the silent auction which will be held at the party.

Or nicely packaged, non perishable edible goods. Anything that you can think would be great at a silent auction table.</span><br />

<i style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;">A Letter to VT State Legislators from the PTO leaders of the Burlington School District</span></i></h2>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;">As PTO leaders we are deeply involved in local schools. We have firsthand knowledge of the day to day operations and understand better than many what impact the governor’s proposal that schools freeze spending at FY 17 levels, will have on our students and our families. The only way to accomplish the governor’s request is through more cuts to our schools. Period.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;">Knowing the issues to which our new governor professes to be committed, we are frankly shocked that he would propose a course of action that focuses solely on reducing spending but is bound to exacerbate several other serious problems with which the state is grappling.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;">In his inaugural address, Governor Scott promised to take on the opiate epidemic in our state. The public school system is where the fallout of the opiate epidemic is experienced. It is not possible to overcome the problems created by this scourge without addressing and investing in the children affected by it. This will require adding more teachers and mental health professionals, not cutting them.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;">The Governor also promised to “revitalize our approach to economic development” in part by, “ attracting and retaining working age people,” and “provid(ing) our businesses with the talented workers they need to thrive.” The governor’s proposal, however, makes Vermont less attractive to newcomers by diminishing the school systems and realistically causing an increase to property taxes. It further jeopardizes the viability of the workforce Vermont has to offer to potential businesses.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;">The governor promised to “transform our education system.” We expected a more creative approach than defunding. </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;">Finally, the governor argued “we have to build sustainable budgets that enable us to achieve these goals.” This reduction in education is neither sustainable, it will create more social costs in the long run, nor does it enable us to achieve our other goals.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;">We believe the governor is putting the cart before the horse. He must examine the education system, call on “frontline employees…who have valuable knowledge about what’s working and what needs improvement,” as he proposed on inauguration day, and then make calculated and educated, cost saving improvements to the education system. To create a situation that indiscriminately demands cuts to school budgets, without a commitment to what is working and what is necessary, is woefully inadequate.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;">The cost of educating our children is a concern to all Vermonters, as is a failure to do so. The governor should not undermine the work of local school boards and dedicated legislators and should instead take the time to work with these bodies to create successful and sustainable improvements to the state’s education system. We expect no less from his administration.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;">The legislature should flatly reject this proposed budget and insist that the governor and his office take a more careful and thoughtful approach to budget development. As active and involved participants in our schools, we, PTO leadership, can attest that further cuts will severely</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;">damage both the educational outcomes and the reputation of local schools and will in turn drive aspiring families out of the district and out of the state. The governor’s proposed changes are destructive and contradictory to his own goals of protecting vulnerable Vermonters and enhancing the state’s economic climate.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;">If the governor is to earn the respect of the electorate, he will have to demonstrate more understanding and creative ability than revealed in this budget proposal.</span></div>

Here is where number of calls received matter. Each one will prompt a legislative page to bring a note to the legislator. Of course, when you do receive a call, be prepared to have a dialogue about what freezing your budget, greater contributions for health insurance, voting on May etc. will do for you and your school. </span></div>

supper beforehand and provide childcare, so parents/guardians can feed the
whole family and then attend the meeting while their little ones are looked
after. Here is the schedule: </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: large;">Also--sign-ups are beginning now. All students must sign their
name on the sign-up sheet outside the front office and then get a sign-up
packet from Mrs. Virun. If you prefer to have the sign up packet
electronically we have attached it. The first two pages must be turned
back into the office no later than <span class="aqj"><span data-term="goog_1339585908" tabindex="0">Monday
January 30th</span></span>. Encourage your child to spread the word to
their friends. Mrs. Virun and Mr. Phelan will be making a daily
announcement but the best way to get the word out is for Hunt students to
encourage each other to get signed up! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: large;">Please note, that even if your child is planning to do stage crew we

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: large;">If your child would like a part in the play but has a conflict on the

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: large;">Another note, Hunt drama club uses a system of
"voluntary registration" fees as part of the sign up
process. All of the costs related to the play must be fund raised by
parents. There is information about this in the sign up packet including
our budget break down. We have found that the funds we are able to raise
through voluntary registration fees greatly offsets the amount we need to
fundraise which helps us focus on other aspects of the production. Thank
you for your support of this and also please know that full scholarships are
always available, as well as a sliding scale option. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

This has proven to be a difficult task, þut we are continuing our search. ln the meantime students have been working on building their knowledge of the French language through the online platform Duolingo and by working on various assignments with a daily substitute teacher.</span></div>

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 16pt;">This exciting time kicks off on <span data-term="goog_1319231513" tabindex="0"><span class="aqj">Wednesday, December 7</span></span> with our HMS Chorus Concert. </span></span><br />
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 16pt;">Our school band concert follows <span data-term="goog_1319231514" tabindex="0"><span class="aqj">Wednesday, December 14</span></span>, and the concert series culminates with our HMS Orchestra concert on <span data-term="goog_1319231515" tabindex="0"><span class="aqj">Wednesday, December 21</span></span>. </span></span><br />
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 16pt;">All three concerts promise to be great, are open to the public and begin at <span data-term="goog_1319231516" tabindex="0"><span class="aqj">7:00 P.M.</span></span> </span></span><br />
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 16pt;">Please consider attending one or more of these shows to see the remarkable work our student musicians are doing with our<br />talented faculty members from the music department.</span></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 16pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 16pt;">We are asking that any families who have not shifted their HMS students’ school registration information into our our new online system through PowerSchool/InfoSnap do so now. </span></span><br />
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 16pt;">This new system has already proven to be a great timesaver for parents and guardians. </span></span><br />
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 16pt;">Once you have entered your HMS student’s important information there will be little to no need to keep repetitively filling out paper school registration forms at the beginning of each school year. Information is filled in only once, then is quickly verified by you on an annual basis. </span></span><br />
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 16pt;">More information on this helpful system may be found on our HMS website, or by calling our guidance department<br />at <a href="tel:%28802%29%20864-8470" target="_blank" value="+18028648470"><span style="color: blue;">(802) 864-8470</span></a>.</span></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 16pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

Please be advised that we are
changing our way of issuing progress reports due to our acquisition of the
Canvas learning management system. Canvas is an online platform from which you
can monitor your HMS student’s assignments and grades on an ongoing basis. In
order to see your HMS student’s assignments and grades you will need to
establish your own Canvas account. This may be easily accomplished by visiting
the Hunt Middle School Website and filling out a brief online form. You will
also need to have your HMS student’s log-in information. I have included
instructions for setting up your Canvas account and linking it to your HMS
student on the reverse side of this page.</span></h3>

</span></h3>
<h3 align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Because grading information is
now available on Canvas in real time, from this point forward we will not be
issuing formal progress reports to all students. We will only be issuing formal
progress reports to students who are receiving a grade of D or F in one or more
classes. These reports are being mailed to students’ homes. We are very pleased
to be providing this opportunity for parents and guardians to examine their
student’s academic progress online at any time and are hopeful that the
convenience and real-time availability of this information improves your
family’s ability to partner with our school and teachers to support your HMS
student’s academic success. Please feel free to contact our guidance office at
(802) 864-8470 if you need any assistance in getting your Canvas account established.
Thank you.<o:p></o:p></span></h3>
