My School Bucks!!

HAVE YOU CHECKED YOUR STUDENT'S MEALS BALANCE TODAY?

                                                          My $chool Buck$
Keep your student’s meals account balance current by setting up on-line alerts when their account reaches $10.00 or below.  You do not need to pay on-line to receive the alerts
It’s very easy – go to www.myschoolbucks.com to create your account.  Follow the prompts and be sure to add each student individually.  Choose to receive notifications by text message and/or email.  If the student’s birth date doesn’t work and you do not have access to ASPEN, call Patty Gardiner to get your students ID number. If you do choose to pay on-line, there are a few options – set up auto pay for a specific amount or pay on-line when you receive the alert. 
If you would rather not pay on-line, when you receive the low balance notification, send in cash or a check (payable to Hull Public Schools) with your student and they can pay the cashier in the cafeteria. 
If you think that your family may be eligible for free or reduced priced meals, please fill out the meals application and send it into school with your student.  A copy of the application can be printed from the Hull Public Schools website or you can pick up a copy in any school office. You will receive a letter from the school regarding the decision within a week of submission.  If you don’t receive this letter, do not assume you are approved; contact your student’s school.  

If you have additional questions you may contact Patty Gardiner at HPS Administration, 781-925-4400  X1112.

Pirate Youth Basketball Tryouts

PIRATE YOUTH BASKETBALL TRAVEL TRYOUTS
All tryouts will be held at the Jacobs Elementary School. Please try to arrive early. The season runs from December - March, with practices starting in November and a warm-up tournament near Thanksgiving. Travel is a competitive program that requires players to tryout; in grades where there is more than enough for a travel team, there may be player cuts made. Please discuss this with your son/daughter before they tryout. Travel also requires a commitment of one to two practices during the week and one to two games on weekends. Please note that the registration fee for travel varies per grade, ranging from approximately $160 to $250, and may also require a uniform purchase. Payment will not be due until after the tryouts when teams are formed, and before the season starts. Players placed on a travel team will receive a payment link after the tryouts. However, your child must be registered at www.hullbasketball.com to tryout. If you have any questions or concerns please email hullpirateyouthbasketball@gmail.com.

*A strong focus on the knowledge and skills most important for college and career readiness
*An emphasis on the meaning of words in context and how word choice affects meaning and tone
*A focus on problem solving, data analysis, algebra, and advanced math concepts

PSAT 8/9 scores are available online about two months after test day. Student score reports provide students with personalized feedback that will help them understand their strengths and where they need more work.
