Also, today launches our World's Finest Chocolate fundraiser for our school! Look for your students to come home with a coral-colored sheet of paper that is a permission slip for participating in the fundraiser. Please send these back to school ASAP, indicating your student's participation in the fundraiser.




We just wanted to send out a reminder about testing at HMS.
We often have questions from parents about students "never bringing home homework." Students should have a form of homework at least every night from Monday night through Thursday night.
Every week, we follow the attached testing schedule, school wide. So for every grade level, students are assessing four days per week (Tuesday through Friday). Your student should be bringing home daily the notes and information to study for the test they will have the following day.
We encourage and remind our students every day to take what they need home with them to study so they will not be on the class's MASH list, requiring a remediation session and retesting . Help support your student by reinforcing this at home and making sure they have appropriate study time!!

It’s every middle schooler’s favorite day!!
Midterms are going home today (Tuesday, September 6, 2022).
Make sure to ask your student for his or her midterm report!!


HHS may be celebrating Homecoming this week, but IN TWO WEEKS, it will be OUR turn!!!

School picture day is coming up THIS Thursday, September 1, 2022.
