Talking HF Tigers 11/15

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.

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!
