Grade 5 Families going to Hodgson for 2022-2023:
Families, 
Hodgson Middle School is excited to welcome your child into our building for the 2022-2023 school year. In preparation for this transition, we will be hosting a VIRTUAL information evening on Wednesday, May 11th. This will be your opportunity to meet Hodgson students and staff while learning a bit about our programs. 
Please see the attached flyer Open House Virtual Flyer for event time and embedded Zoom Link. 
To support our work that evening, we are asking that you post any questions you may have about Hodgson using this link - https://forms.gle/szcdBchHWAiognaK7   We will use these to guide our presentation on May 11th. 
Each year Hodgson collaborates with your child's school to make sure this big transition is a smooth one. We also make available the opportunity for families to email us the names of any peers that might make good classmates for their child. All parent/guardian requests are printed and organized by grade so that we do not miss any important requests.  You must include your child's current school/teacher in the request so we correctly sort the email we receive. As you make your request, please understand that we will not consider requests for specific teachers and will only consider requests for classmates.  While we can never promise that we can accommodate every request, we will work to do our absolute best to accommodate the requests we receive by the deadline. All class placement requests will be taken until Friday, May 13th.  After that time, we will not be able to accommodate any further requests. 
We look forward to meeting all of you on May 11th!
Regards,
Mark Kraczynski (Acting Principal) and Kelley Miller-Caise
