Principal's Message

Dear Hutton Elementary School Community,

As we approach the final week of March and eagerly anticipate our upcoming spring break, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you. Together, we celebrated our first Hutton Math Night, and it was nothing short of a spectacular success. The joy, engagement, and enthusiasm displayed by our students, the dedication and creativity of our teachers, and the unwavering support from our families turned this event into a remarkable experience for all involved. Thank you for making it possible. Your participation and efforts have laid the groundwork for what I believe will become a cherished annual tradition at Hutton Elementary. We are already looking forward to making next year's Math Night even better, with more fun and learning opportunities for our students and their families.

In the spirit of continuing our journey of learning and community engagement, I am thrilled to announce our upcoming Family Literacy Night on April 16th from 5:00-7:00 PM. This special event is an invitation to all our families to join us in celebrating our One School One Book reading of "Toys!". It promises to be an evening filled with excitement, offering fun and interactive toy-related literacy and STEAM activities that will captivate the imaginations of our young learners. Moreover, it will be a wonderful opportunity for families to come together, enjoy delicious food, and celebrate the joy of reading. This year, there will be surprise Guest Readers and so much more.

To make this event as successful and enjoyable as possible, we kindly ask that all families RSVP by April 11th. Your timely response will help us ensure we have enough materials and food for everyone, making the evening a delightful experience for the whole Hutton Elementary community.

As we look forward to these exciting opportunities for learning and connection, let's also embrace the upcoming spring break as a time for rest, rejuvenation, and quality time with our loved ones. I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved together so far this year, and I am filled with anticipation for the many more wonderful experiences we will share as a school community.

Thank you for your ongoing support, collaboration, and commitment to making Hutton Elementary not just a place of learning, but a home of belonging, innovation, and joy for every student, teacher, and family.

RSVP HERE BY APRIL 11th FOR THE HUTTON FAMILY LITERACY NIGHT TO SAVE YOUR SPOT OR SCAN THE QR CODE!

Hutton Happenings

Dormant Oil Tree and Shrub Application

This is to inform you that weed and grass control spray will be applied to the shrub beds and mowing strips at our school on April 5th (during Spring Break). A variation of this schedule may occur as a result of inclement weather. This spray is to control unwanted grass and weeds in the shrub beds, around the trees and along the street curb areas. Our school has taken steps to keep school children away from the tree and shrub bed areas for 24 hours. We would like to ask that you and your children refrain from using these same areas during that period of time. Thank you!

From Mrs. Snider

March Madness is underway at Hutton Elementary! Classrooms have been given their teams and projects are off and running. These projects are student-driven and are voluntary. We’ve already seen crests & posters. Word on the street is that there are some PowerPoints being done! Not only are classrooms competing for their college basketball team to win but they are also vying for top spot in the project category of their college. This has been a great opportunity for kids to learn about options for post-secondary education. If any of the students have questions, they can come and see Mrs. Snider.

Our Amazing Students & Staff

Congratulations to the following students who earned Citizen of the Month for February! They exemplified Honesty in their classrooms.

We had a Pi Day Assembly on 3/14 to celebrate student work for the Soar Up Challenge. Every student put in effort to reach their weekly goal in Dreambox and Lexia. Most students either met or exceeded their goals in both! Names were drawn and one student from each grade level was chosen to throw a "pi" at Mrs. Simmons and Mrs. Dullanty.

Hutton's 1st Annual Math Night 2024 was a huge success! Thank you to all who came out for the fun. It was a pleasure to see students working together with their families and teachers to play math games together. They even got to take the math game home!

After School Art was so much fun! Our Hutton students took classes including Mixed Media, Crochet, Photography, The Art of Clay, Puppet Making, Improv and more!
