Hartselle Intermediate School

Parents and Guardians,

We are off to a wonderful start to the school year! Thank you for helping us with all of the processes and protocols. That partnership makes all of the difference.

Below are our 23-24 Continuous Improvement Goals for the 23-24 school year. What gets measured, gets improved. It is our hope to continually improve all things HIS, but these will be our areas of focus. Our teachers and staff stand ready to support, encourage, and challenge our students to be their best.

As always, please let us know how we can best serve your child.

Water Bottles in class

Our students are able to bring water bottles to school each day. However, should it be a constant disruption to class, students will be asked to leave in locker or at home. Many students are drinking excessive amounts of water and having to go to restroom regularly during classroom instruction. We know our students need to use the restroom, but the ultimate goal is to maximize the learning of every student not miss instructional time. Please have a conversation with your student.

Parent Guides

Carline Parents/Guardians: Thank you for your help with our adjusted A-K car format. We were asked by Central office and the city to help open up the traffic on Sparkman and at the west traffic light. Commendations to Officer Al for helping us make this transition. Should you still have questions, feel free to reach out to Officer Al, Mr Hembree or myself. No process is perfect; however, we do strive to be at our best everyday and serve our students and families with excellence!

As always, safety is our priority and if you can help us with cordiality with the merging process, that will expedite the process. Again, as adults we want to model #TheTigerWay for our students and children while on campus.

Thank you for your help with this!
