North Hudson Elementary 3rd grade students partnered with the Wisconsin Potato Growers Auxiliary to learn about the Wisconsin potato industry. Did you know that Wisconsin is the 3rd largest producer of potatoes in the United States? Additionally, students learned healthy nutrition facts about potatoes.

We have had an amazing Raider Winter Season! Congratulations to our champions and state qualifiers! #WeAreRaiderProud
We have all experienced the unpredictability of winter storms this season. The Hudson School District is closely monitoring the weather for Wednesday and Thursday. At this time, we are holding on making a decision on any school closures until we have a clear idea on the actual amount of snow in our community. We know other school districts have made the decision to close school in advance of the storm. We feel it is in the best interest of our kids and staff to wait to make the determination until the storm actually arrives.
We want families to plan and have as much advance notice as possible of any changes to the school day. A decision to close schools on Wednesday will be sent to families and staff no later than 5:00 A.M. Wednesday, but may be made yet this evening. If school is held on Wednesday, we will have a 3-hour early release. This means:
Based on the storm predictions for Wednesday afternoon into Thursday, we will likely be closed on Thursday. We may also experience a delay or closure on Friday depending on blowing and drifting snow.
What does this mean for making up lost instructional time?
If there is a school closure for a full day, we will need to make up instructional time. The School District will add 10 minutes to the school day. It has not been determined if this additional time would be at the start of the day, end of the day, or a combination of both (details will be sent to families and staff by Friday). The High School will no longer have Wednesday early release days. Both the additional minutes to the day and the removal of the High School Wednesday early release days would start on Monday, February 27, 2023.
In the event there are no additional snow days, with the added minutes to the day, we could potentially have the last day for students be June 8, 2023.
Families and staff will be notified if there are any changes to the above plan.
In honor of Veterans Day, River Crest Elementary School held a Veterans Appreciation Ceremony and reception.
River Crest families along with their Veterans were invited to attend. The ceremony included the Color Guard, students singing “Grateful to Be American” and “America the Beautiful” which was led in sign language by River Crest 3rd grade students, and speeches by several River Crest students. Students learned about flag etiquette from Command Sergeant Major Jason Miller and Sergeant Amanda Armstrong. They also learned about the armed services branches. Sergeant Corey O’Keefe was a special guest speaker and former Hudson graduate, Lieutenant Casey Fall, sent a video clip that taught students about the Coast Guard. Prior to the Color Guard retiring the flag, the entire student body sang “Happy Birthday” to WWII veteran Don Jones, who celebrated his 104th birthday in November. Mr. Jones is the great-grandfather of Drew, Liam and Isla Agrimson. River Crest families sent in pictures of their Veterans that were assembled into a slideshow that was also shared with students and families. A Veterans Wall of Honor displaying stars with names of special veterans was a focal point. This year’s Veterans Day will be remembered as a very special day by the staff, students and families of River Crest Elementary.
