Hello Raider Nation!

We’re excited to welcome all of our students back; what a fantastic start to the school year! It was inspiring to see our Link Crew in action on Tuesday, warmly welcoming our freshman students and helping them get acclimated to their new school. Likewise, our 7th and 8th grade WEB leaders did a fantastic job greeting our incoming 5th graders and supporting their transition to middle school. We’re proud of these student leaders for creating such a positive and supportive start to the year!

As we begin this new chapter, student safety remains our highest priority. To support this commitment, we’ve implemented new drop-off procedures at our elementary schools to enhance building security. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we all adjust to these changes. A special thank you to the City of Hastings and our law enforcement partners for their visible presence and support during this first week.

As mentioned in a recent Raider Update, many of our staff members have participated in reunification training using protocols recommended by the “I Love U Guys” Foundation. This is another step we’re taking to ensure we are well-prepared to keep our students and staff safe.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support.

Go Raiders!!
