HMS handbook states students cannot attend HMS sporting events without an adult. This applies to our away games as well. Remember outside drinks are not allowed into games.

Our PBIS team is excited for the Halloween Dance. Our 6th graders earned this attendance dance by having the best attendance record for the grade levels. To attend you had to be present 95% of the quarter and not have any referrals. Our Hall of Fame students always get to attend this dance. We also drew 10 random names from 7th and 8th grade to attend as well. They also had to be present 95% of the time and not have any referrals. These students know who they are. Information on drop off and pickup will be sent out later this week to ensure the safety of all students. Please make sure you follow the guidelines for wearing costumes to the dance. If you have questions, please reach out to Mr. Braden or Mrs. Sanchez.
