Hobby Families,

There is so much joy across our campus, and it has been wonderful to see! Each morning, our Mini Aviators are arriving excited to see their teachers and friends and ready for another day of learning. In classrooms, we are seeing students participate, take on challenges, celebrate their successes, and grow more confident in themselves as learners.

That joy is also showing up beyond academics. Our students are building friendships, participating in campus activities, celebrating one another, and continuing to develop a sense of belonging at Hobby. We want our students to know that school is a place where they are loved, challenged, supported, and excited to learn each day.

Thank you, families, for helping us create that experience. The excitement our students bring through our doors each morning begins with the encouragement and support they receive at home. We are grateful for your continued partnership and excited about all the learning, growth, and joyful moments still ahead for our Mini Aviators!

 

With appreciation,

Maribel Barrera

Staff of the Week

A special shoutout to Laura Olivas for the incredible flexibility and commitment she has shown in supporting our 4th grade students. While serving as our campus interventionist, Laura has diligently stepped in to take on instruction in our 4th grade monolingual self-contained classroom, a unique setting that is currently the only one of its kind across our district.

 

Laura has taken on this responsibility with care and a strong sense of ownership. She continues to produce quality instructional materials, prepare intentionally, and ensure students receive the instruction and support they need to stay on track and continue progressing while we work to permanently staff the position.

 

Laura, thank you for stepping into a significant need for our campus and, most importantly, for our students. Your willingness to adapt, maintain a high bar, and make sure our students continue receiving quality instruction has made a meaningful difference. We appreciate you and everything you continue to do for Team Hobby!

💙 Need Support for Your Child? Submit a Student Assistance Form (SAF)

 

Dear Parents & Families,

 

We want every student to feel safe, supported, and successful at school. If you have a concern about your child’s social, emotional, behavioral, or basic needs, you may submit a Student Assistance Form (SAF) to request additional support from our campus Student Support Counselor.

 

📝 When SHOULD I Submit an SAF?

Please consider submitting an SAF if your child is experiencing:

• ❤️ Emotional concerns – frequent sadness, worry, anger, or difficulty managing emotions
• 🧠 Social-emotional concerns – low self-esteem, difficulty coping, or significant changes in behavior
• 🤝 Peer or friendship concerns – ongoing difficulty making or maintaining healthy friendships
• 🏠 Family or life changes – divorce/separation, death or grief, housing changes, or another major family transition affecting your child at school
• 🎒 Basic-needs concerns – clothing, hygiene items, food, or other family support needs
• 🏫 School adjustment concerns – significant difficulty transitioning to school or changes that are affecting your child's well-being
• 🌱 Additional support – you believe your child may benefit from short-term social-emotional support or connection to community resources

 

🚫 When Should I NOT Submit an SAF?

An SAF is not the appropriate form for:

• 📚 Questions about grades, homework, or academic assignments — please contact your child’s teacher.
• 📅 Attendance or absence questions — please contact the appropriate campus staff.
• 👕 Dress code or routine school concerns — please contact your child’s teacher or campus staff.
• ⚖️ Discipline consequences — please contact your child’s teacher or grade-level administrator.
• 💬 A one-time, minor peer disagreement that can be appropriately addressed by the classroom teacher.
• 🚨 An immediate safety or emergency situation — please contact the school directly rather than waiting for an SAF to be reviewed.

 

📲 How Do I Submit an SAF?

1. Access the Student Assistance Form (SAF) using the link or QR code provided by the school.
2. Complete the requested information about your child.
3. Briefly describe your concern and the type of support you are requesting.
4. Submit the form.
5. The Counselor will review the request and determine the next steps.

 

💡 Please Remember

Submitting an SAF does not automatically mean your child will receive ongoing counseling. The form helps us understand your concern, identify the most appropriate support, and connect your child or family with the right school or community resource.

 

When in doubt, please reach out! We value partnering with our families to make sure our students have the support they need to thrive. 💙💛
