HMS Hiller Heads-Up

Growing an active community of strong minds and kind hearts.

We would like to draw you attention to the helpful links, now posted at the bottom of the newsletter. This section will be maintained in each newsletter so that you have a convenient and consistent location to access these documents.

We hope that everyone is enjoying a nice April break. Our spring sports are up and running, the weather is improving, and students are continuing to work hard and make progress toward the completion of this year's curriculum. As we look forward to a positive last two months of the school year, students will be reminded of our basic expectations for conduct when we return to school on Monday. One note for parents is our cell phone policy. Student cell phones are to be powered off during the school day. If you need to contact your student, please do so by calling the main office. As you are all aware, cell phones present a huge distraction to students and have the potential to truly disrupt the school day. If you need to get a message to your student, please help us out by calling the main office rather than texting.

Hopkinton Middle School

The middle school years can be a tremendous time of growth and challenge for middle school children and their parents.

The purpose of our workshops is to discuss topics relevant to supporting the middle school child as they prepare for 8th grade and beyond!

Workshop Offerings will focus on three topics:

• Balancing competing priorities for the middle school child.

• Supporting the academic needs of the middle school child.

• Preparing for 8th grade and Beyond.

The New Direction Spelling Center in collaboration with Hopkinton High School are thrilled to announce a private screening of SPELLERS, the movie, inspired by the book Underestimated. SPELLERS is a transformational documentary detailing autistic non-Speakers and what happens once they are able to freely communicate. Come see for yourself the power of communication in opening the world of non-Speakers!

Scan the QR Code or click on the link to register for a free ticket. Bring your family and stay for a brief Q&A after the showing.
