Kindergarten enrollment event for Hutch Schools on April 27
Hutchinson School District is preparing for an in-school, district-wide Kindergarten Roundup at the end of April. Parents with children who turn five on or before Aug. 31, 2021 are invited to the event.
The event will take place from 6 to 7 p.m. on April 27, in all the district’s neighborhood elementary schools. This is a come-and-go event designed for students to get pre-enrolled and to meet school staff.
New kindergartners whose families would like for them to attend Hutchinson Magnet School at Allen are asked to contact the school for an application. As a districtwide magnet school, Allen does not have boundaries.
Beginning Jan. 25, Hutchinson High School will begin classes via the modified hybrid system. Under the modified hybrid system, students with last names starting with the letters A through L will attend in-person on Mondays and Wednesdays. Students whose last names start with M through Z will attend in-person on Tuesdays and Thursdays. All students will attend remotely on Fridays.
Hutchinson elementary schools and middle schools will continue on the modified hybrid system.
Virtual Field Trips
On Kansas Day, Jan. 29, Hutchinson Public Schools in conjunction with Wichita Unified School District 259 and other districts in the state will be hosting virtual field trips from around Kansas.
The Board decided to extend the break in the hopes of lessening the spread of COVID-19.
Under the proposal, students in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade will return to class in the hybrid model on Jan. 11 instead of Jan. 4. Hutchinson High School students will return to class remotely on Jan. 11 for two weeks before returning to the hybrid model on Jan. 25. The Hutchinson Career and Technical Education Academy will return on Jan. 11 in the hybrid mode.
Under the hybrid model, students with names starting with A through L attend in-person classes on Mondays and Wednesdays, while students with names starting with M through Z attend in-person classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. All students in the hybrid model learn remotely on Fridays.
