At HMMS, our continued focus this year is on belonging. It is our mission to take a closer look at how the systems within our school can sometimes create barriers or unintentionally “other” our students and families. By identifying and addressing these barriers, we aim to make every student’s experience at HMMS one where they truly feel seen, valued, and included.
This week, the HMMS administrative team will present at the board meeting about our new student transition procedure, something we have been working hard to develop. This new process is just one example of how we can adjust systems to better support students and strengthen their sense of belonging from the very first day they arrive.
Our staff is also focusing on belonging and trust . Patrick Lincoln has sent out the first trust survey of the year to staff, which includes questions that help building administrators understand how staff are feeling and identify ways we can adjust or improve to ensure a positive and supportive working environment.
Below, you’ll find images of student life here at HMMS — full of energy, connection, and engagement.
The board presentation will be available for anyone who cannot attend in person, and I encourage you to take a look when it’s shared.
It’s time to sign up for Winter Sports! HMMS offers boys and girls basketball as well as practice opportunities with the winter high school track team for students in grades 7 and 8.
