Let's talk Locker Day! -August 7th-
Please add this event to your calendar. We are currently planning to have our "Locker Day" event on August 7th. This is a drop-in event from 1-2:30pm, with all families exiting the building by 3pm.
We will send out more details about this event as we get closer to the 7th.
If you can't make it, NO WORRIES! We will have plenty of staff on the first day of school to help you and your students.
School Supply Lists
We are doing supply lists differently this year with the goal being to eliminate unnecessary purchases. Each team will be responsible for creating a school supply list. We will hand them out on Locker Day, which is August 7th (1-3pm). Students will be getting their teams and advisor names on that day. We will also post team supply lists on-line.
EVERY student at Hellstern will need the following:
earbuds
zipper binder w/strap ("Trapper-Keeper")
backpack with laptop protection area built in (optional)
paper & pencils
water bottle (labeled with student name)
PE shirt ($10 optional)
All other supplies needed will be on team lists. 7th grade students may have supplies needed for elective classes.
As you are preparing your students to go back to school, please consider the dress code at Hellstern. It is as follows:
A Student’s appearance and dress should reflect an acceptable common standard in the interest of decency, cleanliness, safety, and health.
The following guidelines should be followed:
All students are required to wear their team-specific (School ISSUED) lanyard and student ID at all times while on the HMS school campus.
Hats and hoodies pulled over head shall not be worn in the building.
All shirts must have a sleeve.
Tank tops are not permitted (for males or females).
Shorts, skirts, dresses, and holes in jeans must be fingertip length. (No holes above fingertips)
Clothing that reveals a bare midriff or cleavage will not be permitted.
Clothing which by color, design or symbol is deemed suggestive, racist, violent, vulgar, or is interpreted as promoting tobacco, drug, or alcohol use, are not to be worn to school.
No student is to wear, carry, or display apparel deemed gang-related (“sagging” pants, head rags, bandanas, chains, spiked or studded jewelry), or exhibit behavior or gestures which symbolize gang membership.
A student’s appearance and dress shall not disrupt or contribute to disruption of the educational process or interfere with rights or opportunities of others to learn or teach. This includes piercing, accessories, and hair styles/color which disrupt the learning environment.
