Parent -Teacher Conferences

The first Parent Teacher Conference Night will be on Wednesday, Oct. 8, from 4:00 - 7:30 

Parent-Teacher Conferences are different than elementary school conferences.  If you have a concern, please sign up for a time.  If things are going well, please leave the conference spot for those who need a spot.  Checking in with teachers is best done later in the year.

A teacher may have already reached out to you with a time to meet.  If that is the case, you do not need to sign up - just confirm with the teacher that you are coming.

Click here to sign up for a conference.  This link will work to sign up for times on Oct. 8 and Nov. 13.

6th Grade Parents,

Members of the 6th Grade Staff will be holding two meetings in the Media Center on parent conference night to assist parents/guardians in helping their student navigate the school year.  The meetings will discuss best PowerSchool practices, transitioning from the elementary, best studying practices, and advice from the staff. There are two identical meetings to help families who want to attend: 4-4:20 and 7-7:20.    For many parents, a full conference is not needed, but it would be helpful to review ways to assist your student.  Our hope is that these meetings will give more parents/guardians an opportunity to get helpful information.

8th Grade Washington DC Trip

There will be a parent meeting on Oct. 8 at 5:00 and at 7:00.  This will be the main parent meeting. Mr. Henry will give an overview of the trip, finances, student expectations, and chaperone expectations.  Both meeting times will have the same content.

End of Quarter 1

October 17 marks the end of the first nine week grading period.  Student report cards will be available to view in PowerSchool on Friday, October 24.

After that, if your child has a 3.7 GPA or higher, be on the lookout for a congratulatory email and Honor Roll certificate.

Red Ribbon Week

October 27 - 31

Monday: We are RED-y to be drug free.  Wear red to show your support for Red Ribbon Week

Tuesday: Lei off drugs.  Beach Day

Wednesday: Team up against drugs. Wear your favorite jersey

Thursday: Too smart to start.  Dress like a teacher.

Friday: Boo! Scare drugs away!  Wear your costume.

Below are guidelines for your child when preparing their spirit/costume attire:

• No masks, face paint, or face coverings. Outside of a little makeup, we need to see their shining faces.

• No weapons or anything that resembles a weapon. They can be Robin Hood, but they can’t bring the bow and arrow, no matter how toy-like it may be.

• Students should not wear anything that could be offensive to a person or group.

• Students must dress at home - not in the HMS bathroom.

• We do not give passes because of outfit malfunctions.  They should be comfortable enough to make it through the day.

• A backup set of clothes is always a good idea - just in case.
