Buccaneer Families,

As we close out this school year, I want to thank you for allowing me the privilege of serving as principal of Hudson Bend Middle School. HBMS has always been home to me. I began my career here as a first-year Language Arts teacher and cheer coach, and it has been such a full-circle honor to return as principal these past four years.

Thank you for entrusting me with your children, supporting our staff, and being such an important part of this incredible community. While I am excited for my next chapter at WCHE, Hudson Bend Middle School will always hold a very special place in my heart.

I am forever grateful to be part of the HBMS family!

Once a Buc, always a Buc!

-Laura Keogh

IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENTS

School immunization records must be up-to-date for students to attend school in the fall and receive their schedules. Updated records can be emailed to everettw@ltisdschools.org or delivered to the school during summer office hours. The school must have the original affidavit of exemption on file if you choose not to vaccinate your child.

*7th Grade Immunization Requirements*

Entry into 7th grade requires proof that your 7th grader has received the Tdap and Meningococcal (MCV4) vaccines. Campus nurses do not automatically receive your records from the doctor after vaccinations. You must request an immunization record from the doctor and submit it to your nurse via email, fax, or mail. The immunization record must have a doctor's stamp or signature on the form. Health portal records must still have a clinic stamp or a doctor’s signature. Please submit your records as soon as possible. Please reach out to me with any questions.

Medication Reminders

All medications not picked up by a parent by the last day of school will be discarded.

HEALTH FORMS TO UPDATE FOR NEXT SCHOOL YEAR:

ALLERGY ACTION PLANS, ASTHMA ACTION PLANS, SEIZURE ACTION PLAN, REQUEST TO ADMINISTER MEDICATION, SELF CARRY FORM

Returning Student Verification forms for the 2026-2027 are now open. Parents can find the form in their student's Skyward Account.

If your student is not returning to HBMS for the 26-27 school year, please complete the Withdrawal Form or Summer Leaver Form at this link. Email the completed form to Christy Thompson, the HBMS Registrar thompsonc@ltisdschools.org.
