July 1, 2025

Dear Parents and Guardians, 

Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year! The start of each new school year is always an exciting time for students and parents alike! As is always the case, a new school year brings about many changes. Perhaps most notably this year is the reconfiguration of our administrative structure, as we have added a new building administrator to our ranks. Please join me in welcoming Dr. Adam Zellmer, who will be our middle level principal, a position that hasn’t been staffed in our district since 2011. Your administrative team for the school year includes the following:

1. Mrs. Crystal Betts, PK-4 Principal
2. Dr. Adam Zellmer, 5-8 Principal
3. Mr. Jeff Dieken, 9-12 Principal
4. Mr. Jeff Bell, Director of At-Risk Programming
5. Dr. Tony Voss, Superintendent of Schools

We are also excited to announce several facility upgrades that have been completed over the summer, including renovations to the kindergarten wing, which encompass brand new restroom facilities, new carpet on the second floor of the elementary school, a new sound system in the high school auditorium, and new network infrastructure. All of these changes are signals of a thriving school district that continues to surpass enrollment expectations year over year. Indeed, the Hudson Community School District has become the school of choice in the Cedar Valley!

The content included in the tabs on this page encompasses general information that you will find useful over the course of the school year, including how we communicate with our families, important policy updates, and procedures for a variety of school related topics. Once you have reviewed this information, everything needed to register your child for school can be found in the tabs following this message. I would recommend you navigate this page from left to right.

Our online registration provides convenience and flexibility while streamlining the process. Detailed instructions are included on this page under the next tab, but if you have questions don’t hesitate to reach out. We urge you to complete the registration process by August 1 so we can finalize schedules and class lists. We once again anticipate increased enrollment so your registration helps us to solidify our class lists and address any outstanding waiting lists. 

We value your input, feedback, and questions! For this reason we take our responsibility to interact with the public very seriously and strive to ensure that timely information is readily available to you, and that you have the opportunity to interact with your superintendent as seamlessly as possible. In addition to this website, please bookmark both our Facebook page and the superintendent’s blog, both of which are updated weekly. 

We are looking forward to a great start to the 2025-2026 school year!

Dr. Tony Voss
Superintendent

Following each session of the Iowa General Assembly, multiple policies and procedures are updated annually. Parents and students are encouraged to familiarize yourselves with the handbooks, which can be found on the handbook page of our school website. For a comprehensive listing of all Board Policies, please refer to the board policy page of our school website. All stakeholders are responsible for knowing and understanding the contents of the handbook. If you have questions, please refer to the building administrator. Below are some of the new changes for the 2025-2026 school year. Those items listed below are not meant to be all inclusive of changes in policy, however, they do represent the most substantive changes that students may encounter during the school year. 

Iowa Civil Rights Code Change
Early in the 2025 legislative session, the Iowa General Assembly passed a law that removed gender identity as a protected class. Our policy updates on this topic are reflective of the passage of this law, known as Senate File 418. Furthermore, language referencing affirmative action education protection has also been removed in alignment with directives from the U.S. Department of Education. Even so, it is paramount to remember that discriminatory behavior toward students is still subject to disciplinary sanctions. 

Cell Phone Restriction
On June 18, the board adopted Board Policy 503.9 Student Use of Personal Electronic Devices. This policy prohits the use of smartphones and watches during instructional time. Students found in violation of this policy are subject to confiscation of the device and progressive consequences for repeat offenders up to and including suspension or expulsion. For the purposes of this policy, for grades 9-12 passing time and lunch are not considered instructional time.

AI Generated Student Images
Exploitation and manipulation of student images will not be tolerated in Hudson Schools. Attempts to modify or doctor student images in a way that depicts nudity or carries sexual connotations falls under the purview of Board Policy 503.1 Student Conduct and would be egregious enough to warrant a hearing with a recommendation for expulsion. Furthermore, the Board of Directors adopted 605.8 Artificial Intelligence on February 21, 2024 with the companion regulation 605.8R1. In that regulation, the paragraph titled ‘Prohibited Use’ suggests that any violation of this regulation will be subject to discipline, with special emphasis on this type of image manipulation. 

Chronic Absenteeism

We are happy to announce that our general book rental fees for the 2025-2026 school year remain unchanged from last year. The only change you will note in fees is an increase in activity prices. This year, the activity pass will be accepted at regular music events. Do keep in mind, special events that require ticketed seating like the musical will be sold separately. 

When submitting a check for payment, please submit separate checks for registration and meals. If you would prefer to pay online, please use our student information system, JMC using the ‘family’ button. 

Registration for school can be completed online from the convenience of you own home! This will allow you to complete the process at your leisure. However, if it is more convenient for you to complete the process here at school, we do have computers available in the central office and we are happy to assist. 

If you are a returning family, please simply refer to the instructions in the next section. 

If you are a new family to the Hudson Community School District, please call the central office at 319.988.3233 ext 4. We will set up your password and help you get started. If you have already contacted our office, received kindergarten or preschool information, or have been approved for open enrollment, your username is your first initial and last name (ex.AHudson). Simply click on ‘forgot password’ to create your password. 

Once you have completed the registration process following the instructions included in the next section, you will be given the option of completing your registration payment online. The link to online payments is included in the JMC Family Portal under Tuition/Fees. 

Please note Board Policy 506.1, 506.1E8, 506.2, and 506.2E1 included at the beginning of the online registration. These policies refer to the Annual Notice of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). The ‘Authorization for Releasing Student Directory Information’ should only be signed and submitted if you want your student to be omitted from inclusion in the honor roll list, pictures in the newspaper and/or yearbook, etc. Details regarding our directory information are listed in the policy. If you have any questions, please reach out to us. 

Please do not attempt to register your children for school using a cell phone. It will not work properly and will be incredibly frustrating. If you need assistance, we have a computer station available at the central office located at 136 S. Washington Street in Hudson. Over the summer months, you can register on Monday through Thursday from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Regular school attendance has been shown to improve student outcomes! Please take particular notice of Board Policy 501.9 Chronic Absenteeism and Truancy along with Regulation 501.9R1 for a discussion of both our attendance policies and procedures used to ensure good school attendance. 

Bus routes will be posted at the open house scheduled for August 21. The bus routes are subject to change annually based on geographic shifts in enrollment. If you have questions regarding the bus route assigned to your children, please call the superintendent’s office at 319-988.3233 x7256. The times listed for picking up students are estimates. Please have your children ready several minutes early during the first week of school in case adjustments need to be made to the bus route schedule. If there are times when your children will not be riding the bus, please let the office know so we can notify the driver.

Please refrain from requesting changes to your child’s transportation arrangements, especially in the middle of the school day. We can’t promise that students will be notified in time for the change in their schedule. If a change in transportation after school is necessary, the best practice is to arrange for a parent to pick the child up. 

Late Starts or Early Dismissals Due to Weather

During periods of poor weather, we encourage parents to listen to the following stations for school announcements regarding changes to the schedule: KCRG-TV9, KWWL-TV7, and KGAN-TV. Changes to the schedule are also posted to social media channels and text alerts are sent out to all our subscribers.

District Alerts and Press Releases

Once you have completed the school registration process, you will automatically be enrolled in our school messenger system that is used to issue press releases and emergency announcements. We have the technical capability to issue these releases as either text, email, voice, or all of the above. You do not need to do anything further, except ensure your contact information remains current on the school registration portal (JMC). At the same time, if you have other contacts that are interested in school wide notifications and announcements, please encourage them to complete this form.

Communication is a very important skill that helps your child in learning and progressing in school. Screening of communication skills for a student at any grade level is conducted  by a speech language pathologist (SLP) upon the request of parents, teachers or other professionals. Parental consent must be provided prior to screening.

You may request a screening of your child’s communication skills by contacting the SLP at school. Following the assessment, you will be notified of the results. If you have any questions, please contact the school. 

Physicals
Every year students in grades 7-12 shall present to the superintendent a certificate signed by a licensed physical and surgeon, osteopathic physician and surgeon, osteopath, advanced nurse practitioner (ARNP), physician’s assistant or qualified doctor of chiropractic, to the effect that the student has been examined and may safely engage in athletic competition. This certificate of physical examination is valid for the purpose of this rule for one (1) calendar year. A grace period, not to exceed thirty (30) days is allowed for expired certifications of physical examination. Register your student athlete and upload your physical on our ‘Bound’ site. 

Concussion
Annually, each school district and nonpublic school shall provide to the parent or guardian of each student a concussion and brain information sheet, as provided by the Iowa High School Athletic Association and Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union. The student and student’s parent or guardian shall sign and return the concussion and brain injury sheet to the student’s school prior to the students participation in any interscholastic activity for grades 7-112 before the student can participate in interscholastic athletics or cheerleader. You can complete the concussion requirements on our ‘Bound’ site. 

Administration of Medication
All medication, including cough drops, that needs to be taken by students during the school day must be given to the school nurse or the office secretaries to be distributed and recorded by them. The medication must be in the original container for all prescriptions and over the counter medications. The following information must accompany the medication either on the prescription bottle, in the instruction sheet, or in the parental authorization: name of the student; name of the medication; directions for use including dosage, times, and duration; name, phone number and address of the pharmacy (if applicable); date of prescription (if applicable); name of the physician (if applicable); potential side effects; and emergency numbers of the parents.

Board Policy 507.2 governs the administration of medication to students. By law, students with asthma, airway constriction diseases, respiratory distress or students at risk of anaphylaxis who use epinephrine auto-injectors may self administer their medication upon the written approval of the student’s parents and prescribing licensed health care professionals regardless of competency. (See 507.2E1 Authorization of Asthma or Airway Constricting Self Administration; 507.2E2 Parental Authorization and Release Form for the Administration of Prescription Medication to Students; 507.2E3 Parent Authorization for Independent Self Carry Medication. The district also maintains a supply of over the counter medication that can be administered to students with parent authorization. To see which medications the district stocks and to provide consent for administration, see 507.2E4.

Board Policy 804.5 authorizes the district to stock and administer prescription medication to students where parents have authorized such administration. Additionally, the district stocks lifesaving prescription medications including epinephrine and an opioid antagonist. (See 804.5E1 Parental Authorization and Release Form for the Administration of a Voluntary School Supply of Stock Medication for Life ThreateningIncidents).

Regarding Health Forms
There are certain immunizations and health records that are required as part of the school registration process. Students who are not immunized or have exemptions on file with the district are not permitted to attend school. For more information regarding what is required, along with authorizations for administration of certain medications and exemptions, please visit the Required Immunizations, Medical Forms page of our website.

School Health Guidelines
Please help us prevent the spread of illness in our schools by following our health guidelines. General guidelines for when to keep your child home from school can be found on the School Heath Guidelines page of our website.

All children have a right to a free, appropriate education. The McKinney-Vento Homesless Assistance Act (PL107-110) effective July 1, 2002 requires that homeless children: 

• Be enrolled immediately in school, even if lacking documentation normally required for enrollment such as immunization or other health records, previous academic records, birth certificates, proof of residence, or proof of guardianship.
• Have a choice in where to enroll: their school of origin or the local school for their current resident. 
• Have access to services comparable to those that house students receiving Title I, Part A services.

For more information, please contact Michelle McPoland at 319.988.3233.

Hudson’s Driver Education is contracted through StreetSmarts, an Iowa Youth Driver Education program. The student's driving schedule will be set up at the first class.

All of the scheduled classes are state certified and include 30 hours of classroom
instruction, with 4 hours of instruction covering alcohol and drug abuse as it relates to the driving task and 6 hours of actual on-street driving. The cost is $400 and is paid directly to StreetSmarts. Sign-up on their website for classes at Hudson. If you have questions, StreetSmarts can be reached at (515) 279-1122.

Hudson Schools is proud to be the school destination of choice for numerous families in the Cedar Valley. The following procedures are outlined in Iowa Code 282.18 and 281—IAC Ch. 17.

Parent / Guardian Responsibilities:

File application form with resident and receiving district.

• Be sure to indicate whether or not the student is in a special education program. You may request an attendance center with the understanding the district does not have to honor the request.
• [Parents/Guardians] Provide for transportation of students.
• If meeting economic eligibility requirements, apply with the resident district for transportation assistance. If the family qualifies, transportation assistance may be actual transportation or a reimbursement paid directly to the parent/guardian.
• If terminating the open enrollment, notify both districts involved.
• If the student moves from the district in which s/he currently lives during the term of the open enrollment, it is the parent/guardian’s responsibility to notify the former resident district and the new resident district.
• Each child in a family must have an open enrollment request filed for him/her.
• A pupil, who transfers school districts under open enrollment in all grades 9 through 12, shall not be eligible to participate in varsity contests and competitions during the first 90 school days of transfer.

• For more information on Open Enrollment, please refer to the Iowa Department of Education website page on open enrollment.
   

March 1 is the last day a parent/guardian may apply to open enroll a student in grades 1-12 for the upcoming school year.

Septemeber 1 is the last day a parent/guardian may apply to open enroll their incoming kindergarten student. 

Receiving districts retain the ability to either accept or deny applications for open enrollment into the receiving district due to other mitigating factors. Because of substantial enrollment gains in the Hudson Community School District, we continue to monitor section sizes and proceed cautiously. This has led to the implementation of waiting list(s) for many grade levels. Simply stated, in some grade levels, open enrollment applications may be denied due to 'insufficient classroom space'. In other words, that grade level has been deemed 'full' by the Board of Directors upon the recommendation of the superintendent. As registration begins to firm up and students move in and out of the district, it enables us to approve open enrollment applications up to the start of the school year. Our ability to maintain class sizes in the low 20s is an overarching goal of enrollment policy. Open enrollment approval prioritizes those students and families who already have a connection to the Hudson Community School District, maintaining the cohesiveness of the family unit, and the date on which the application for open enrollment was submitted.

State law and Board Policy 503.5 forbid employees from using corporal punishment against any student. Certain action by school employees are not considered corporal punishment. Additionally, school employees may use ‘reasonable and necessary force, not designed or intended to cause pain’ to do certain things that are outlined in Policy such as quelling a disturbance or preventing harm to persons or property. 

State law also places limits on school employees’ ability to restrain or confine and detain any student. The law limits why, how, where, and for how long a school employee may restrain or confine and detain a child. If the child is restrained or detained, the school must maintain documentation and provide certain types of notice to the child’s parent. 

If you have any questions about this state law or board policy, please contact an administrator. The complete text of the law and additional information can be found and is available on the Iowa Department of Education website. 

To be eligible for Federal procurement contract and Federal grants, an employer must certify that it will provide a drug-free workplace by:

• Publication and dissemination of each covered employee of a statement that abuse (manufacture, distribution, possession or use) of a controlled substance in the workplace is prohibited.
• Establishment of a drug-free awareness program to educate employees about the dangers of drug abuse and make them aware of available drug counseling programs, as well as the drug-free workplace policy and the penalties that may be imposed for violations of the policy.
• Notice to each covered employee that as a condition of employment, the employee must abide by the policy and must notify the employer within five days of any conviction involving a controlled substance in the workplace.
• Imposition of sanctions and the requirement to receive rehabilitation for any employee convicted (found guilty in a court of law) involving a controlled substance in the workplace. There is no requirement that the rehabilitation be at employer expense. The employer must notify the Federal agency within ten days after receiving notice that the employee has been convicted of a crime involving a controlled substance in the workplace, or within ten days after otherwise receiving actual notice of such conviction. The statute covers only controlled substances and crimes involving such substances that occur in the workplace. The Act does not address employee convictions for crimes away from the workplace, even if that crime involves controlled substances. The rules do not apply to alcohol related convictions.

The Act requires an employer to make a good faith effort to maintain a drug-free workplace. Determination as to whether the Act has been violated will be made on a case-by case basis.

Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year! We are excited to be continuing our strong partnership with OPAA! The Hudson School Lunch Program is continuously making changes and improvements.

Breading and sandwiches will be made from whole grains. We would like to challenge students to try new things. Please encourage your student to try something new!

Hudson School has a web-based lunch accounting system. The system is designed for families to deposit any amount of money into their family account by bringing the money to the school or depositing it in your JMC Family Account. Each student in that family will draw from that one family account. If you do not want your student to purchase ala carte items and/or seconds, please contact the Central Office.

K-4 Lunch $3.35
5-12 Lunch $3.50
Extra Milk $.50
Milk w/ cold lunch from home $.50
K-12 Reduced Lunch $.40

A detailed explanation of your account (current year only) may be obtained by contacting the school. School policy states when a student lunch account reaches a negative amount, extras, doubles and ala carte will not be available until money has been deposited. If your student’s lunch account was
negative at the end of the 2024-2025 school year, it will need to be brought up to a positive balance at the beginning of the school year. Note: accounts with substantial negative balances will be addressed in accordance with Board Policy 710.4 Meal Charges.

Finally please take advantage of our school meal menu which is accessible from the front page of the school website.

The asbestos and radon program coordinator for the Hudson Community School District is Bryant Budensiek. He can be reached by calling 319.988.3233 x7223.

Asbestos
An AHERA three year asbestos re-inspection was completed on May 20, 2022. The next inspection was completed on May 12, 2025. Asbestos surveillance inspections are made every six months between re-inspections. Only small scale response actions will be conducted if needed. The next three year re-inspection will be due in April of 2028. All asbestos was removed from the 1915 building in December of 2001 with demolition of the building in June 2002. In the interim, asbestos was removed from underground tunnels and floor tiling was removed as floor replacement as part of remodeling, the most recent occurring over the summer of 2025.

Radon
Board Policy 804.7R1 Radon Mitigation requires each attendance center to undergo a short term test for the presence of radon gas at least once by July 1, 2027 and then every five years thereafter. The testing regimen includes individualized tests for each instructional space in buildings where instruction takes place. Both the P-8 and high school attendance centers were tested for radon gas in February of 2023. In both instances, the testing results came back well below the EPA action level of 4.0pCi/L and even below the WHO action level of 2.7 pCi/L. Full copies of these reports can be found on the About Us page of our school website. We will next test for radon during the winter of 2028.
