Welcome to Hunt Elementary School
Welcome to Hunt Elementary! Hunt is a Y5 – 5th grade elementary campus that is newly renovated with safe and secure entryways, 21st century learning, technology tools and a balanced calendar where learning never ends. The main goal is to provide a safe, orderly environment that will enhance the students to reach their best potential academically and socially. Each child’s education depends on parents, teachers, and students working together to create a climate where learning can take place. The highly effective staff strives to nurture and prepare children for their future success. To schedule a tour or for more information please call Sarah Ludwig at 517-841-2610.
Balanced Calendar
Hunt Elementary School is the only school to offer a balanced calendar year within Jackson Public Schools. Families have a choice to enroll in a school where the balanced calendar reduces the long summer break and
simply apportions those days throughout the school year, producing more frequent breaks,
limiting long periods of in-session days, as well as longer vacations.
Since its inception, Hunt Elementary has shown less student absences, less staff absences and fewer discipline referrals compared to the last traditional calendar year.
Climate and Culture
Hunt Elementary provides each child with the best education possible and helps make each year a meaningful and memorable school year. The climate and culture at Hunt promotes social growth and high academic expectations to move all learners forward. The faculty and staff believe that all students are able to learn the essential academic skills needed for success.
Highfields 21st Century Afterschool Program
Hunt Elementary offers Highfields 21st Century Afterschool Program four days a week. Technology, Music, Physical Education, and Art are taught on a rotating schedule.
