We are celebrating Grandparent's Day next week and would love to see virtual photos of our students with their grandparents. Please email any photos of your child with their grandparents to Mrs. Pettis at spettis@mcpss.com. We will use these photos to create a video tribute to all of our wonderful grandparents. Please email all photos by Monday, February 8th.

Hutchens offers two different Preschool options: The First Class Pre-K and the Special Needs Peer Role Model Pre-K.  Both programs have a different registration process.   All children four years of age on or before September 1, 2021 and are residents in our district are eligible for either program.  We would encourage you to register for both programs so that you have a better chance of having a spot in one of our Pre-K units.
