The Mohr You Know
From the Principal
Dear HKMS Families,
Happy break to all! "Break" is word that has about 4,000 meanings (actually Merriam Webster lists about 20 different meaning), two of the most apropos of this time of year a, "a favorable or opportune situation" and "an abrupt split or difference with something previously adhered to or followed." It is both a time of the year to take a break from the challenges of school or work and a chance to remove ourselves frm the stressors of life. I put this challeng e
Sincerely,
Steve Clapp, Ed.D.

Extra Help at HKMS
Extra Help at HKMS
“Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.” -Brené Brown
We are so proud of students when they seek out extra help, especially on their own. To help support our middle students all teachers offer extra help time before or after school. See the doc linked in this section to see all teachers' extra help schedules.
Extracurricular Clubs and Activities!
This Gantt Chart shows our extracurricular timeline for the school year. If the month is colored in (i.e., not white) the activity is running that month. The color of the cell represents a day of the week and time. For example, Volleyball in dark yellow runs Wednesdays from January - March from 3:00 - 4:00 p.m. The musical is the most unique activity as it will be running from November - February in some combination of Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday (depending on rehearsal group). Which is why the musical cells are a gradient of orange, yellow, and green. All current clubs and activities also have a flyer below this chart with more details about time, location, and advisor.
Dear HKMS parents,
I have the pleasure of leading the Homework Club this year. It’s held every Thursday for an hour right after school. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.
Timothy Vale, School Counselor

As parents we are flooded with info, advice, scientific studies and a mountain of information that can make our heads spin. Each week Mrs. Mohr will weed through the deluge of info for you and share a helpful resource or tool.

Dear All,
'Tis the season for giving. If you are struggling to come up with gift ideas for your children, I have a suggestion for you. Give them the GIFT OF BOREDOM! When they whine that they are bored, you can let them know how fantastic that is!! Whenever my kids utter the phrase, "I'm bored!", I provide them with an article to read about the power of boredom and the advantages it will give them in life. You can image how quickly the whining stops when the alternative is reading neuroscience articles from their mom! Check out the info below to see why boredom is such a gift.
Happy Gifting!
:) Annie
