Has your child received professional support for an emotional, developmental, learning or health issue this past school year? (i.e. anxiety, depression, school avoidance, eating disorder, peer relations, ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, autism spectrum, processing disorders, insomnia, migraines, grief…)
Would you recommend to another parent the service provider that has helped your child? Service providers can include doctors, therapists, tutors, counselors, nutritionists, support groups, in-patient and out-patient services.
Generating a review takes less than 5 minutes, is completely anonymous, and may help a local parent find help for their child in the future.
Thank you!

The 8th Grade Graduation Dance is set for Thursday, May 31, in the HMS Gym from 7 to 9 p.m. A DJ, photographer, candy bar and, of course, dancing, are just some of the fun activities your 8th-grader can expect that evening. Please encourage your child to get a little dressier than normal (no athletic shirts or shorts, please). It promises to be a fun, festive night of celebration to cap off their time at HMS. Please see the HMS letter below for more details about permission slips and all graduation activities.
