We are approaching the end of the first full week of school. The weather has really cooperated and we are getting into the full swing of learning. Next week our classroom teachers will be starting our new ELA curriculum in earnest. Make sure to talk to your child about what they are studying!
No School on Monday, September 6th- Labor Day.
Open House- Open House was cancelled this year, but we are working on alternative solutions and should have some form of an Open House in October. Details to follow.
Picture Day- September 16th, 2021
Arrivial and Dimissal Update- With your help and patience we have dismissal time back down to 11 minutes total. Thank you. The busses are still adjusting schedules. Please make sure to be at your stop 10 minutes before the bus is expected until we can get the timing consistent.

HCC Offerings and Events
HCC Offerings and Events
Next week is National Suicide Prevention week. On Thursday, Sept 9th HCC will be outside HMMS with a small wallet card and a wristband to encourage students to be kind, look out for one another, and seek a trusted adult if necessary.
Suicide can be a tough topic, but is unfortunately one we have to have with our kids these days. There's a lot to worry about, but as a community we CAN prevent suicide deaths. Prevention is the key! A good resource for parents can be found here.
Please join us for our 6th Annual Block Party on Friday, September 10 from 5-8pm at Lyman Point Park. Hartford Residents of all ages are welcome to enjoy a free picnic dinner, demos and give-aways, a dance performance, mixes from DJ Sean Hay, live music from the Upper Valley's own Brooks Hubbard, meet and gather information from over 40 vendors of local social and health services agencies, take part in a celebration of our Town Employees who remained working straight through the pandemic shutdown.
If you represent an organization interested in tabling at this event, here is the registration link.
Interested in how best to keep our kids safe on the internet these days? Our next TechniCool training is September 16th - we are holding 2 separate 1-hour trainings that day at 12N and 8pm. Register here and we'll send you a virtual link to join us. Here is a flier with more information about this evidence-based program.
Do you have a middle school or high school student interested in being a part of the Hartford Community Coalition?
Hartford Community Coalition is a collaborative group of community members designed to support and promote the wellness of individuals and families. We want Hartford to be a supportive community where people embrace and achieve their personal, professional, emotional, and physical well-being.
We are always looking for youth voices that care deeply about substance misuse, suicide prevention and food insecurity in Hartford. Here are some of our past newsletters.
HCC also plans to offer UP For Learning's Getting to Y program to both HMMS and HHS students this year. Some students will take a field trip to Montpelier to learn best practice ways to teach youth to address substance misuse within their school community.
If you have a student who is interested please contact: Kelly kellyc@hccvt.org or Janet Potter potterj@hartfordschools.net.
