The secondary schools have wrapped up their first marking period and report cards will be received by families in the upcoming week. Parents and guardians can also access 6-12 grades in their Parent Portal. As a reminder for elementary families, grades UPK-5, we operate on a trimester schedule and those report cards will be out in early December.
Contact Guide
Not sure who to reach out to with questions related to your child’s education or other district services? In an effort to better support our community with certain questions and concerns, we have developed this easy to follow guide to better direct you to the proper staff member. This and other important phone numbers can be found directly on our homepage under Quicklinks. With this update, the staff directory will no longer be accessible from the website. To better secure our systems, we ask that parents and guardians reach out to staff through ParentSquare, Parent Portal or this Contact Guide.
Thunder Storm
The Primary School had a fun filled assembly on Wednesday afternoon when members of the Adirondack Thunder hockey team stopped by to give the entire school a hockey lesson. We are thankful to the Thunder organization for being a community partner in education and using a vehicle that many of our students enjoy. If the chants and thunder apparel were any indication, this was surely a memorable experience for our students. Special thanks to Ty Gibson, Taylor Ford, Zach Walker and mascot Gunnar for visiting the Hudson Falls Primary School and offering hockey knowledge, high fives and autographs. Go Thunder!
