Mill Levy Override
The Board of Education has voted to place a mill levy override (MLO) on the November ballot. If
passed, this would provide funding for the district to invest in world class staff, programming for
students, and school safety. Learn more.

Our wonderful PTO is once again partnering with Boosterhon to sponsor our Fun Run! This is
the one large fundraiser that our PTO asks for direct support. Students will watch a video
in class on September 19th to kick off this fundraiser! More information will be coming home
soon. Students can receive prizes and the school can receive additional funds even if
you just register and are unable to donate. Please register your child when the information
comes home and please donate to our wonderful PTO if you are able to!
Last school year, the funds from this fundraiser allowed our PTO to:
● Helped pay for Dwayne Reed, our One School, One Book Author to Visit
● Paid for a whole school science assembly.
● Helped reduce Field Trip Costs
● Purchased and supplied books for our Birthday Book Vending Machine
● Supported teachers with additional resources for the classroom!
Dogs and Other Animals on Our Property
While the majority of our staff has dogs of their own, please know that it is Adams 12 District
Policy that dogs and other animals are not allowed on our property, especially during arrival and
dismissal. We appreciate you leaving your furry friends at home. The only exception are legal
service dogs that are wearing their vest to designate their service.
Parent Teacher Conferences
While more information will be shared later this month, we wanted to notify families of our
upcoming October Parent/Teacher Conferences. They are scheduled for Tuesday, October 7th
and Thursday, October 9th, from 3:00-7:00 each night. We ask that all families sign up for one
slot per child. If you have a split household, we ask that you coordinate with each other and
select one time that works for both households. We do not have enough available slots to have
more than one conference per child. Our special education team will be meeting with families
outside the conference time of the classroom teacher, so please ensure you sign up for a time
slot with your child’s classroom teacher and special education team, if that applies.
The Scholastic Book Fair will also be open during conferences for you to shop for books for your
child!
2025 October
Hello HGE Families!
We cannot thank you enough for the support of our PTO Fun Run! With your generous support, we surpassed our goal and raised $22,392!!!! The support from our generous community is amazing! We will be determining dates and times for the final rewards and the kissing of animals by Mr. Blados and Mrs. Reilly!
Parent Teacher Conferences & Book Fair
Conferences are scheduled for Tuesday, October 7th, and Thursday, October 9th, from 3:00 to 7:00 each night. Please take the time to sign up and attend a conference. It is a vital part of the year, allowing you to learn about your child’s growth so far this school year and identify areas where they need to grow. Sign-ups have been shared several times via email, are located on Apptegy, and shared by your classroom teacher.
Additionally, the Scholastic Book Fair will be open during conferences. Visit it to purchase books for your family. Every purchase helps us buy more books for our school library!
Fall Break
A reminder that Adams 12 has a Fall Break the week of October 13th! Students’ last day is Friday, October 10th, and they will return on Monday, October 20th. To view the district calendar to see all of our breaks and days off, please click here.
Fall Parties
Hunters Glen will once again be having a costume parade and Fall Parties on Halloween - Friday, October 31st. We will be sending updates and details, including how to opt your child out if you do not want them to participate, after Fall Break.

2025 November
Hello HGE Families!
November is here already, and our staff and students continue to work hard to improve! Please read on for more important updates!
HGE Family CommUNITY Night
We are excited about our upcoming First Annual HGE Family CommUNITY Night, which is next week on Wednesday, November 12th, from 6:15-7:45. Thank you to those families who have volunteered time or items to help make this event a success. If you haven’t completed the form about this night yet, we invite all families to do so. While there are options to be involved in the night, you can simply complete it to identify the country(ies) that your family is from, music preferences, and more. Please complete the HGE Community Night Form if you haven’t yet done so.
We are also excited that we will have a Mariachi Band performing during the event at one of our stations!
Calendar Updates
Due to the updated calendar, Adams 12 has traditionally had November 11th off in honor of Veterans Day; however, school WILL be in session on Veterans Day this year. To ensure our students have an understanding of and appreciation for the importance of honoring our Veterans, each classroom will have a grade-appropriate lesson that day, in addition to some school-wide announcements and activities to honor Veterans.
School Attendance Information
Along with continuous and consistent monitoring of attendance, we aim to establish a climate and culture of positive attendance. We have just started up our "Bear 200 Club" to celebrate students who have adequate attendance (meaning on average, no more than 1 absence per month of school). Students who are eligible are chosen at random each week.

2025 December
Hello HGE Families!
December is a short month - but we have lots of work to do! Please read on for important
updates.
Parking
A reminder to all of our families that there is no parking on the curb, specifically during arrival
and dismissal. Due to increased enrollment, we have now added another school bus and we
need the entire curb free for our school bus and daycare parking, in addition to passenger cars
parked on our curb is a violation of fire code. Please ensure if you are in the parking lot that you
are parked in a legal spot.
Arrival
We did get a few questions about letting students in early today with the snow. Official school
start time is 7:50 and that is when we are required to let students in the building. At Hunters
Glen, we allow students to enter the building at 7:40, as it allows our hallways to be less
crowded and for a calmer experience for our students as not all students arrive at the same
time. Since we do allow students in at 7:40 every day, we do not open the doors earlier, no
matter the weather.
MAP Testing
All students will be taking the District Required NWEA MAPs (Measures of Student Progress)
assessment in Math and ELA (English Language Arts) starting next week, the week of
December 8th. This allows us to measure student progress from the first semester to see any
adjustments we need to make in instruction for students. It also assists us in our planning and
preparation for the 2nd Semester.
Giving Tree
Hopefully, you saw the email and message on Apptegy specifically about our Giving Tree. We
have a tree with gift tags on it in our main entrance/vestibule for those families who are
interested in supporting other HGE Families who need Holiday Gifts. You do not need to sign in
to the building to get one. Again, please see the email sent on 12/1/25 for more details, but we
are asking that for all those who do get a tag, please turn them into the school no later than
Monday, December 15th.
Attendance
With the time of year, we know there are lots of appointments, special events, and other
activities that may interfere with the school day. Please remember that any day school is in
session is a required attendance day, including the day before or after an extended break.
Attendance is vital to your child's achievement and learning. We do understand that there are
appointments and other events that cannot be scheduled outside the school day, but we ask
that you make your best attempt. If your child has a doctor or dentist appointment, please
remember to have the doctor provide a note so we can excuse the absence. Doctor and dentist
appointments are considered excused absences with a note. If your child has more than five
absences in a semester, not including those excused by a doctor’s note, those absences will be
marked as unexcused absences, which is the Adams 12 District Attendance Policy.
Calendar
Our students’ last day before Winter Break is Thursday, December 18th. There is no school for
students on Friday, December 19th. Students return from Winter Break on Tuesday, January
6th.

above to access the list.
Link to PTO Website
The next PTO Meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, December 16th at 3:45 in the School
Conference Room. We hope to see you there!
Holiday Shop - due to rising prices on items and the difficulty of finding enough volunteers to
staff the Holiday Shop, PTO has decided not to host the holiday shop this year, as we have
done in the past.
Please check out our PTO website for information on meeting dates (coming soon), contact
information, and fundraising opportunities. Did you know that all fundraisers on the website
cost our families nothing! We collect Longmont Dairy MilkCaps and benefit from any Box

2026 January
Hello HGE Families!
We hope your family had a great break! It has been wonderful to welcome our students back this week!
Thank you to Our GIVING COMMUNITY!
We want to extend our sincerest gratitude and thank you to those members of our school community who were able to help donate food for our Thanksgiving boxes and/or holiday gifts for our HGE families in need. The number of items donated was overwhelming, and we were able to provide so much support for our families. Our receiving families were very grateful and appreciative of the donations. Thank you to our wonderful community for supporting one another!
Thunder Vista Impact on Arrival
As shared on Monday, due to the fire over break at Thunder Vista P-8, we will be welcoming 4th and 5th-grade students to the Hunters Glen mobile classrooms starting on Monday, January 12th. We will be sharing additional information later this week in preparation as we continue to work through this change. Please pay attention to these important arrival notes:
- First, we ask for your patience as Thunder Vista parents will also be utilizing our Hug and Go in the morning and will be following our arrival procedures. Thunder Vista students will be keeping their same schedule, and they arrive approximately the same time as we do.
- Many Thunder Vista students will be bused to Hunters Glen in the morning, and the buses are scheduled to arrive AFTER 7:50, which is the typical time we open the gate.
- To allow the school buses ample space and safety, we will be keeping our arrival gate closed until 8:00 (or until the buses arrive) each morning.
- We will continue to have staff at the crosswalks and encourage you to use the Hug and Go Lane if you arrive after 7:50, but before 8:00
- As a reminder, to not be marked tardy, students need to be in their classrooms by 7:50.
Food Delivery to Students
We have seen a recent increase in food being delivered directly by restaurants or food delivery services (DoorDash, GrubHub, etc.). Please note that food delivery from businesses to students is not allowed at Hunters Glen. As a reminder, if your child forgot their lunch and you are unable to bring it to school, breakfast and lunch continue to be FREE for all students, and they can simply select a school lunch. Thank you for your cooperation.
District Policy on Cell Phones and Smart Watches
As a reminder, Adams 12 Schools has updated their cell phone policy. The cell phone policy can be found here. All students must have their cell phones and smart watches off or silent and placed in their backpacks for the entire school day.
