UIL Academic t-shirts are now on sale until December 1st! Campus colors and the designs are the same as last year, so there is no need to order another one unless you need to. Students will wear their shirts at our meets as well as in the yearbook picture. Parents can also purchase shirts for themselves to support their students. Link to t-shirt order form

The Texas Legislature has mandated that children who meet certain grade criteria be screened for specific health problems. These screenings will take place at Hays Middle School during the school day on October 25, 2024 (Spinal Screening) and November 12, 2024 (Vision and Hearing Screening). If applicable, please be sure that your child wears their glasses on this day. If we are unable to fit all screenings in one day they may be completed on another day. The required screenings are broken down by grade level as follows:

• 8th grade boys: Spinal screening
• 7th grade girls: Spinal screening
• All 7th grade: hearing, vision and risk assessment for Type 2 Diabetes
• All new-to-district students in 6th & 8th grade: hearing & vision
• All new to district 7th grade: hearing, vision and risk assessment for Type 2 Diabetes
