Our lost and found is regularly full of coats, sweatshirts, hats, shoes, water bottles, lunch boxes, etc.  We look for names on items to return to kids.  Any items still in the lost and found after Dec. 20 will be donated.

Winter Weather

In general for HMS, if school is canceled, so are after school activities (sports, activities). There will sometimes be exceptions to this, but they are rare.

If we are on a 2-hour delay schedule, this is our schedule for the day: 2-hour Delay Schedule

6th Grade Math Tutoring - Enrolling students for quarter 3

Highland Middle School has been given a unique opportunity to partner with Catapult Learning to provide high-dosage tutoring in the area of math at no cost during the school day.  HMS applied for and has been awarded a grant through the Ohio Department of Education to offer this program.

This program is full for the first semester, but if you are interested you may turn in the permission slip now for the second semester.  If interested, return this form to the Highland Middle School Office.
