HMMS Newsletter
September 13th, 2024
As we come to the close of Quarter 3, Here are some positive things happening here at HMMS.
A huge thank you goes out to Brycen Nardone, Kristen Chapman, and the many HMMS staff who volunteered their time to support the Marathon Dance. Our students demonstrated what it means to give back, raising over $10,000 for the Haven!
We are also grateful for the return of warmer weather. Students are back outside for recess and enjoying our campus, and it has been wonderful to see them active, exploring, and connecting.
Our PLACE class has had the opportunity to visit the Hartford Area Career and Technical Center to observe some of their programs, providing valuable exposure to future pathways and opportunities.
As we continue to expand outdoor opportunities, we are currently looking for additional recess equipment such as soccer balls, footballs, frisbees, and other items. If you have any gently used equipment you would be willing to donate, our students would greatly appreciate it.
We have also been visiting our elementary schools to meet our incoming 5th grade students and begin building those important connections early. At the same time, we are preparing our 8th graders for their transition to Hartford High School, including upcoming transition days and an informational night on the 7th.
This week, we will begin VTCAP testing. We have created a schedule that allows students to focus and do their best on the assessments, while also building in time to recognize and reward their effort during what can be a challenging week of testing.
We are proud of the work happening here and look forward to finishing the year strong.
