The Avery Coonley School invites you to their annual Secondary School Fair on Tuesday, October 2nd from 7:00-9:00 pm in their school gym/commons. This is a chance for parents and students to meet with representatives from a wide variety of both boarding schools from across the country, as well as local private and parochial high schools in and around the Chicago area. Find out about the curriculum, facilities and rich student life offered at these leading educational institutions. This event is free and open to everyone. Parents and students are encouraged to attend together. For a list of the participating schools, please see their Facebook page.

Raising children in this digital age has its challenges. While technology brings many advantages to our daily life, it can be hard to help our children navigate a world so digitally connected. With support from the District 181 Foundation and both CHMS and HMS PTOs, Dr. Devorah Heitner will be providing a special presentation for parents on October 4 at 7:00p.m. entitled Screenwise: Raising Middle School Children in the Digital Age. The presentation is open to the community and will be hosted at CHMS. Dr. Heitner’s visit to District 181 will also include separate presentations to middle school staff on October 4, and to students at both CHMS and HMS on October 5.

Understanding iGen: How to Harness the Positive Trends and Mitigate the Negative Ones

With generation divides wider than ever, parents, educators, and employers have an urgent need to understand today’s teens and young adults- iGen. Distinct from every generation before them, they are growing up super-connected, less rebellious, more tolerant, less happy–and completely unprepared for adulthood. Learn what that means for them and the rest of us.

Calling all 6th Grade Parents!

The HMS PTO is excited to begin a great new school year, with a beautiful new building to look forward to, and a new community of parents and kids to get to know.

You are invited to a fun night out to celebrate new beginnings at:

IL POGGIOLO
Thursday, October 11, 2018
6:00 – 9:00 p.m.

Let’s kick off the new school year by enjoying an evening with old friends and getting to know new ones.

We will have “very special” guest bartenders and their specialties: “Pena Coladas & May-tinis” working to help generate more fun and excitement! Enjoy an opportunity to meet teaching staff, other incoming families, and our PTO board. Your participation will also help to raise funds for the HMS PTO. Il Poggiolo is generously donating back a percentage of all food and beverage sales, plus all tips to our “guest bartenders” will go directly to the HMS PTO. We will have some fabulous items you don’t want to miss! Thank you to our generous Parents Night raffle donors:

Please mark your calendar to attend this special night for 6th grade parents!
