Back-to-School Day is Friday, August 17th!

Hard to believe, but Back-to-School day is only a few weeks away!! During this open house event, middle school students and their parents will be able to pick up their class schedules and bus route information, as well as ‘walk’ their new schedules. Students can bring in their pre-ordered school supplies and set up their lockers. They can also pick up pre-ordered science goggles, hall/gym locks and P.E. uniforms.

The school nurse will be available to collect medications and completed sports physical forms. All families are encouraged to bring in any necessary medications on this day.

Returning 7th and 8th graders should bring the following items so they are ready for the first day of school: red hall lock, blue gym lock, gym uniform, calculator and French or Spanish dictionary.

The PTO will be taking last minute PTO registrations and sharing volunteer opportunities. New Spirit Wear items will be available for sale. The PTO accepts cash, check or credit card. You can also skip the lines and register on SchoolPay for the PTO  (after you log into SchoolPay look on the left for the Non-Profit tab) for the 2018-19 school year. If you cannot access your SchoolPay account or find HMS PTO Dues under Non-Profits, you may register at this alternate link.

Suggested time frames for each grade to visit HMS are listed below. Lines tend to be longest at the beginning of each grade’s time frame slot, so feel free to arrive a bit later if your schedule allows. Students must be accompanied by a parent or a guardian.

8:30 am – 10:00 am: 8th graders
10:00 am – 11:30 am: 7th graders
12:30 pm – 2:30 pm: 6th graders
