Back To School Day is Friday, August 17th

Save the Date for Back To School Day on Friday, August 17th! 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. These items will also be available to purchase (cash or check only).

The school nurse will be present to collect medications, medication forms and completed sports physicals for all students. Entering sixth grade students should turn in their required physicals then.

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 selling a brand new line of Spirit Wear, as well as taking PTO registrations and offering opportunities to sign up for various committees. The PTO accepts cash, check or credit card.

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