Hendrick Hudson schools will be closed tomorrow in observance of Veterans Day. It has been wonderful to see how our students and staff have participated in activities related to this important holiday. For example, the front lawn of the high school is dotted with American flags, a joint effort between the high school's Leos Club and the local Lions Club. Elementary school students have sent heartfelt letters to veterans at the Montrose VA facility, and our middle school students have recreated their annual Hall of Heroes in the school lobby.
Many thanks to the Montrose Business Association, as well, for adding a Veterans Day banner to the high school's front lawn.
Our high school student-musicians never fail to impress, and this was apparent at the NYSSMA Area All-State Festival in White Plains on November 5. Thirteen HHHS choral, band and orchestra performers worked side-by-side with some of the best musicians in Westchester County. Click HERE to read more about this extraordinary accomplishment.
Speaking of our incredible student-musicians, we are excited to share the schedule for upcoming winter concerts. Click HERE to see all the dates, times and locations of musical performances across the district.
The district’s parent-teacher conferences have now concluded, and I'd like to thank the many families who participated. It is always extremely gratifying to see the high level of engagement among our district families.
With the drop in temperatures, we are reminded that winter weather is just around the corner. Please click HERE to read about the processes the district uses when considering school closures and delays.
I’d like to wish our varsity volleyball players the best of luck over the next few days. The Sailors will participate in a Regional Final tomorrow at John Jay Cross River High School; a win will send them to the State Final Four on November 19 and 20 at the Cool Insuring Arena in Glens Falls.
And finally, with the recent release of the district's Strategic Plan, we are excited to share that there will be new opportunities for parent and community engagement as we move into the implementation phase. Click HERE for the latest information on the plan, and keep an eye out for additional communications shortly regarding new ways to get involved in this important process.
Wishing you a happy and healthy long weekend!
Regards,
Joseph E. Hochreiter
Superintendent
