HUBBARD EXEMPTED VILLAGE SCHOOL DISTRICT
FROM THE DESK OF SUPERINTENDENT MR. SOLOMAN On Friday, February 26, 2021, the Hubbard Exempted Village School District will have a remote learning day so that our school staff members are able to receive the first dose of the COVID vaccine. Unlike our traditional remote learning day format, students will use February 26th to work on previously assigned work. No new work will be assigned. Beginning Monday, March 8, 2021, Hubbard Schools will combine cohorts A and B. During that week, students will attend school in-person on Monday, March 8, 2021, Tuesday, March 9, 2021 and Thursday, March 11, 2021. Students will participate in our traditional remote learning day on Wednesday, March 10, 2021. There will be no school on Friday, March 12, 2021, as it is a previously scheduled waiver day. NOTE: Students in grades 9, 10 and 12 will participate in remote learning on March 9, 2021 so that the junior class can take the ACT at HHS.
Beginning Monday, March 15, 2021, students will attend school in-person on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Wednesdays will remain remote learning days. This model will be our schedule until further notice.
COMBINING COHORTS CONT. Questions & Answers How do I change my student's current learning model? If you wish to change your student’s current learning model (hybrid to remote or remote to hybrid), you must contact your child's building principal.
Will the district have barriers in place? The district has purchased additional barriers. The barriers will be prioritized in areas where the district is unable to maintain the recommended social distancing guidelines.
What are the current social distancing guidelines? According to the Trumbull County District Board of Health, the district is permitted to maintain a social distance of 3 feet in grades K-5, and we must strive to achieve 6 feet social distance in grades 6-12.
What are the current quarantine guidelines? The district will follow the quarantine guidelines set forth by the Ohio Department of Health and the Trumbull County District Board of Health. In situations involving a classroom or bus where everyone is properly wearing a mask (the mask must cover the nose and mouth) at all times, individuals will not have to quarantine even if they were exposed. Any student or staff member who was less than 6 feet away from an infected person for 15 minutes or more, while not wearing a mask or improperly (the mask does not cover the nose and mouth) wearing a mask, must quarantine for 10 to 14 days from their last exposure to that positive person. This would apply to athletics, the cafeteria, and anywhere else where masks are not properly worn at all times or not worn at all. A quarantined student/staff member may return to school on the 11th day as long as they do not show symptoms of COVID. Once the quarantined individual returns to school, they are not permitted to remove their mask, even if they are alone in a classroom/office, until 14 days have passed since their exposure. Students/staff members are permitted to remove their masks to eat/drink, but should remain 6 feet away from other individuals. Athletes who are quarantined due to their exposure are permitted to return to school after their 10 day quarantine expires. However, they are not permitted to return to athletics until 14 days have passed since their exposure. Students and/or staff who are exposed to a person who has tested positive for COVID outside of a school setting will be subjected to the same quarantine guidelines.
IMPORTANT DATES Friday, February 26, 2021 - Trumbull County Remote Learning Day For Hubbard Schools, the Trumbull County Remote Learning Day will look a bit different than our usual Wednesday remote day. On Friday, February 26, 2021, remote learning will be used by students as a make-up and/or work completion day while our staff members receive the first dose of the COVID vaccine. No new assignments will be posted nor will there be any virtual meetings. Rather, students will continue to work on materials previously started or complete on-going work for their classes as needed. Monday, March 8, 2021 - Hubbard Schools will combine cohorts A & B During the week of March 8, 2021, cohorts A & B will attend classes in person on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Wednesday will be a remote learning day.

HHS senior Eloy Kim accepted into Vanderbilt University Senior Eloy Kim has been accepted into the prestigious Vanderbilt University.
According to US News, Vanderbilt
University maintains an acceptance rate of approximately 9%. Eloy, who was born in Maryland and has lived in three other states, moved to Hubbard in 2013. According to Eloy, the transition to Ohio wasn't easy. However, the encouraging words of his teachers and counselors proved vital in helping him adjust. Their impact on his life, along with his family and faith, have inspired Eloy to pursue a dual major in secondary or post-secondary education and English.
Eloy says the
classroom was always a focal point of his childhood and he wants to be part of a generation that continues to create new and innovative ways of teaching that will help future generations of students grow and learn.
HHS donated painting to VFW In November, Hubbard Schools presented a piece of artwork to a very important group of people - local veterans. Hubbard High School's Student Council donated the large painting done by the art students at Hubbard High School to the Hubbard VFW. The artwork serves as just a small token of the district's appreciation for the commitment and bravery of our veterans. The veterans in the painting are (from left to right): Anthony James Papa, Anthony Charles Congemi, Jack Betts, Carl Nelson Jr, Dorothy C Butala.

Hubbard High School cont. Students participated in community art project
Last semester, Mr. MacMillan's, Miss Tricomi's and Mr. Scarmack's classes merged their talents to create a permanent work of art for the high school with the help of artist Linda Clark. Last year, Clark reached out to the three teachers to see if they would want to work on a community-sponsored project of pride. Mr. MacMillan's and Miss Tricomi's students came up with designs and Mr. Scarmack and his student created the bases for their displays.
Band performed for community In September, Hubbard High School's band performed their own version of a mini “skull session” before the Hubbard vs. Poland football game. The band performed halftime show music and a variety of classic pep songs in front of their familiy, friends and community.
