This year at Agnes Hodge has been filled with many positive experiences with students, staff, parents/caregivers, and the community. However, it is with mixed emotions that we say goodbye to approximately 300 students and 40 staff with the opening of the new school Blanche E. Williams. We're so glad that you were able to be a part of our Agnes G. Hodge community!
You can expect a 'Back to School' community update to be sent to families during the week of August 31st with further information about procedures for the first day of school and where to find your child(ren)’s classroom teacher. Please see below for updates and reminders. Thanks again and have a restful summer!

As we enter our final week of the school year, I would like to take a moment to recognize the 40 permanent and LTO staff members who will be leaving us due to the opening of the new school, Blanche E. Williams. Each of them has contributed to our students, staff, and school community in meaningful ways. They will be missed, and we wish them all the very best!
