Miners in the Middle
September 27, 2026

Principal's Message
A Short Week Ahead!
Students will enjoy an extra day off Monday while our staff spends the day working and learning together, and we'll welcome everyone back Tuesday for a four-day school week.
I also want to give our students a little credit! Last week, I challenged them to make some changes in the cafeteria before we moved to assigned seating and additional restrictions β and they responded. We saw improvement, and because of that, no changes have had to be made. Thank you to our students for showing us they can rise to the expectation, and thank you to our families for reinforcing those expectations at home.
As we head into the final days of September, let's keep that momentum going in the cafeteria, in our classrooms, and throughout HMS.
Have a great week, Miners! ππ€
β Mrs. Green, Principal
Miner Strong Begins October 1!
We're excited to launch Miner Strong, our new after-school homework help and academic support program, beginning Thursday, October 1!
Miner Strong gives students an opportunity to stay after school for extra help, complete assignments, catch up on work, or get additional academic support.
Check out the graphic below for all the details!
πΆ Miner Pride β Congratulations, Band!

Our high school band includes several of our 8th-grade Miners, and we are proud of them and the entire band for representing Hartshorne so well. Congratulations to our students and directors! ππ€πΆ
π Midterms Are Coming!
Midterm exams are quickly approaching!
Midterm exams are approximately two weeks away and count for 10% of a student's overall semester grade. Now is a great time for students to check their grades, take care of missing or late work that is still eligible to be completed, ask questions, and begin reviewing.
And with Miner Strong beginning October 1, students have another opportunity to get extra help and stay on top of their work before midterms arrive!
Parents and guardians, this is also a great time to check Sylogist with your student and have a quick conversation about how things are going in each class.
