Strong Communities = Strong Schools

Hohokam Family,

The weather is beautiful outside and it is a wonderful time of year to be outdoors. Did you know that every Saturday we have youth soccer games occurring on the east field? Our wonderful PTA purchased soccer goals which have brought a lot of positive attention to our school. It is great to see a strong sense of community in our neighborhood.

Speaking of community, we have had two parent involvement nights: "Tech Tune-Up" and "How We Teach Your Child to Read." Each event was a great success with solid attendance. We will continue to provide these opportunities throughout the year for your family. We look forward to your future attendance.

In other news...

• Don't forget to contact your child's teacher for Parent/Teacher Conferences. There are no early release days embedded into the calendar this year.
• We do have an early release day next Wednesday, November 3rd for teacher professional development. Thank you for supporting our teachers' professional growth!
• Stop by the office in the morning to check out our T.V. announcements at 8:45. We have a fantastic student news crew led by Mrs. Cottrell!
• Check out the gardens on the west side of the cafeteria! Our pre-school students were hard at work planting.
• This Friday, October 29th is "Coffee with the Principal." Join me in room 12 at 8:20 a.m.

I hope to see you all soon!

Mr. Caudle

Parent/Teacher Conferences

Dear Hohokam Traditional School Family,

We sent a Parent/Teacher Conference document home with all students last week. Please make sure you return this document to your child's homeroom teacher by Wednesday, October 6th. As a reminder, Parent/Teacher Conference weeks for Hohokam Traditional School are October 25 – November 5. Teachers will be sending out additional information for parents the week we return from Fall Break.

We believe that good communication between home and school is critical to your child’s success. Please know that we are committed to providing you the opportunity to discuss your child’s progress with the school. If you have further questions, please contact your child’s teacher directly for clarification.

Dr. Catalani’s Office Hours

SUSD’s Superintendent, Dr. Gary Catalani, will be holding office hours at Hohokam Traditional School on Wednesday, October 6^th, from 9 a.m. – 11 a.m. Dr. Catalani will be available in the office conference room for informal conversations with our community. Please come and take advantage of this opportunity!

Laptops in the Classroom

We now have approximately five laptops in each homeroom class. A big thanks to our PTA, Title I, and the EIS Department for supplying our students with additional 21st Century Technology!

Have a great day!

Mr. Caudle
