And so the adventure begins…
The first two weeks have been full! Full of learning, fun, connecting, discovering, finding our way and hopefully finding some down time to take it all in and appreciate the moments. This time of year, brings me such hope and anticipation of all that lies ahead. I have many dreams and goals for all of our students, staff and myself and I am sure that you have hopes and dreams for your child as well. We look forward to partnering with you to actualize these, and together I believe that we will have an incredible year!
Peter Hobart Proud,

Clothing and Dress Code Updated - see student handbook
|
|
Our hope is that students show up as their whole selves, feeling safe and welcome. In that spirit, we have made a change in the
Clothing and Dress Code
practice at Peter Hobart.
As we continue to strive to build an inclusive learning community where all are respected and individuality is celebrated, we will allow students to wear caps, hats and hoods (head wear) if they so choose. We have always allowed head wear to be worn for religious and/or cultural reasons. If the hats, caps or hoods are a distraction to learning for a student the teacher will simply request the student to put away the hat, cap or take take down their hood. Please discuss with your child or children the new policy, and they are in control of their choice, and it could be taken away by their teacher if it becomes a distraction.

Student Action: Peter Hobart Pride
|
|
Peter Hobart, as an International Baccalaureate school, adheres to the IB Mission Statement that asks students to take action, “…
to create a better and more peaceful world…”
The fifth graders began the year by taking responsibility as the oldest students at Peter Hobart, using their knowledge and experiences to be role models for the other students. They took action by listing example of how Peter Hobart Pride can be shown throughout the building and day. Then several students from each room volunteered their time to prepare and present at last Friday’s assembly. Here are examples from that assembly.
Peter Hobart Pride is shown by…
Be safe.
Be respectful.
Try your hardest.
Peter Hobart Pride helps us…
Learn.
Take care of each other.
Take care of our things.
Be together.
Enjoy being at school.

In the hallway we walk quietly and safely. We keep the hallway picked up.
|
|
In the class we listen to each other and work hard so we learn. We make others feel welcomed and included.

Thank you to the fifth graders for sharing their ideas. A special thank you to the students that helped with the assembly.
