FINAL CALL!
Each year, students and parents must agree to the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) to continue using school-issued devices and the BCS network. In the past, HMS has sent home a paper copy to be filled out and returned. This year, we have streamlined the process and are pulling the AUP off of the Annual Emergency Information Update (AEIU).
Mrs. Rihn, our Technology Systems Specialist, has finished filtering the current data from the AEIU. Students who do not have an updated AEIU, which contains the AUP, on file will have their device locked beginning Monday, November 3rd.
Thank you to those who have completed the AEIU thus far! Mrs. Rihn has sent out emails AND orange papers home to parents of students who do not have a current AUP on file.
Fill out the AEIU/AUP - HERE!
Hoops for Heart
We are having our annual Hoops 4 Heart Event to benefit the American Heart Association in November this year. We will have our kickoff, where students will get all the information about our event, on November 3rd during their PE/UA class. Our event will be on Friday November 21st all day in the HMS gymnasium. Over the past 16 years we have raised over $125,000 for the AHA. Our goal this year is to raise $10,000. More information will come in the beginning of November. We would encourage your student to participate and support the cause. All proceeds go directly to the American Heart Association.
