No School - Thanksgiving Break

• At the 2:25pm dismissal, students leave independently to the bus, parent pick-up, or to walk home. If your student's dismissal plan changes from their usual routine, you do not need to notify the school. Please be sure to clarify the plan with your student before they leave for school that morning.
• If you need to dismiss your student early, please fill out the dismissal form. This form can also be found on the Middle School website under contact us. If your student will be dismissed during the school day, please communicate this plan with them in advance. We try to avoid calling into classrooms, as it disrupts learning for other students.
• Please remind your student that they are to come to the main office at their dismissal time. We do not like to call into classrooms and interrupt instruction.
• You need to fill out a dismissal for an end of the day change only if your student is not aware of the change.

On Monday, October 5th, School Counselors will be meeting with all grade 8 students during their Science class to discuss High School and Career Pathways. Students will learn about Career and Technical Education high schools including Keefe Tech as they prepare for the Keefe Tech field trip on Friday October 30th. More information to follow.

Dear HMS Families,

We are writing to ask for your support of this year's HMS Popcorn Fundraiser! We have partnered with Double Good Popcorn to raise money for student activities at HMS. If you haven't tried their popcorn before, we can tell you that it is delicious and they have a lot of fun, sweet and savory flavors. The money we bring in from the fundraiser helps us keep evening events for 6th, 7th and 8th graders free or low cost.

To order some popcorn for your family, please click on the link below. Ordering is easy - nothing to download or register for. All orders are shipped right to your home!

We greatly appreciate your help and support of HMS events.

If you have any questions, please contact Student Council Advisors Becky Abate or Margaret Hebert.
