Dear Hoban students and families,
We are excited to kick off the 2021-22 school year! We have missed the energy and enthusiasm of students in the building. As we all know, the Hoban family starts with YOU. The beginning of the school year is an exciting and hopeful time. We are eager to return to campus, reconnect as one Hoban family and build upon the rich traditions of our school.
Please read this letter carefully.
ALL FAMILIES [parents and students] must sign off on the parent-student handbook agreement in Final Forms by Thursday, August 19.
WELCOME TO OUR NEW FAMILIES AND STUDENTS
We are excited to see our freshmen and transfer students this Sunday, Aug. 8, 1 - 3 p.m. at the Welcome to Hoban family picnic. This is a great opportunity to meet other families and Hoban educators.
We are also hosting a New Family Informational Session on Wednesday, Aug. 18 from 7 - 8 p.m. in Barry Gymnasium (Doors #2 and #3). Both the picnic and this informational session are highly recommended as valuable informational sessions.
THURSDAY, AUG. 19
New Student Orientation Day for freshmen and transfers is on Thursday, Aug. 19. Students should arrive between 7:15 - 7:50 a.m. for classes and programming that will start at 7:55 a.m. The day will end at 2:50 p.m. Students should be dressed in Hoban uniform.
FRIDAY, AUG. 20
The 10th and 11th Grade Orientation was originally planned for Aug. 20. However, this will now be a teacher training day instead. In addition, our counselors will field calls from sophomores and juniors who seek scheduling advice or have any questions regarding lingering summer work. Students in grades 10 and 11 should make sure they are prepared for the first day of school on August 24. Again, sophomores and juniors will NOT report to school on Friday, August 20.
MONDAY, AUG. 23
Seniors’ First Day is on Monday, Aug. 23, and will be a celebration of a new academic year and the Class of 2022 as they step up to lead our school. All seniors must arrive by 7:55 a.m. We will host programming and meetings, run through blue and gold schedules, meet new teachers and celebrate Mass. Lunch will be provided with a picnic under the dome. Students will be dismissed at 1:30 p.m. after door prizes are distributed. This will be an Extreme Blue and Gold Day - more information will be sent late next week.
TUESDAY, AUG. 24
The first day of school for ALL students to return to school together as one Hoban family is Tuesday, Aug. 24. Doors will open at 7 a.m. and classes begin at 7:55 a.m. The day ends at 2:50 p.m.
Each grade level has a specific landing page on the Hoban website that will be updated throughout the year with pertinent information for students and families in that class. Those can be found under the Current Students link in the upper navigation menu. We hope this will help all our families know the important information that is emailed throughout the school year.
Go, Knights!
