Dear Hoban Families and Students,
Today marks the interim point for the 1st quarter of our school year. I am so proud and impressed with the commitment our student body has made towards keeping the Hoban family healthy. I am also proud of their work in their classes, in cocurricular experiences, in service to the community and in athletics.
Parent Survey
Please take a few minutes to respond to the following survey by Sunday, Oct. 11 regarding your student’s experience in the first four weeks of school. I recognize that the start of the year in a hybrid learning model has been a challenge for some of our students and families. We will be using the survey information along with other indicators in the county and on campus to make adjustments to our Knights Reunite plan. You may access the survey HERE. We anticipate sharing all updates to our plan shortly thereafter.

We have several important events in the next few months for our school community. Additional details about each of these events will be shared as each event approaches. Please encourage your student to check their Hoban emails for announcements.

Interim Grades
Interim reports will be mailed today to families who have requested those to be sent. I encourage you to reach out to teachers directly regarding questions regarding class expectations, assignments or assessments. We will have Parent/Teacher Conferences at the end of the quarter, October 29. Additional details will come in the coming weeks regarding signing up for conference appointments.
Holiday Travel
While it seems several months away, I know now is the time families begin planning for the holiday season. If you plan to travel, please pay attention to travel advisories. Should you travel to a location that requires quarantining before or upon return you will need to notify the Central Office and have your student sign onto remote learning. These continued measures will ensure our school community remains healthy throughout the winter.
We are grateful for our partnership with all of you throughout these extraordinary circumstances as we continue to educate the hearts and minds of every Hoban student. Thank you for your commitment to them and to our Hoban Family.
Sincerely,
Dr. Emily Ramos
Principal
