We will be holding our annual Social Studies Fair on Wednesday, October 29th in the gym. Participating students should plan to set up their projects between 2:30 - 4:00 on Tuesday, October 28th unless other arrangements have been made with their social studies teacher ahead of time. There should be no projects set up on the day of the fair, and students will need a card table for this event. Students and parents are invited to our open house gallery and awards Wednesday evening after the fair beginning at 5:30 with awards promptly at 6:00. Students are expected to break down and take their projects home immediately after the award ceremony.

Each year, students and parents must agree to the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) to continue using school-issued devices and the BCS network. In the past, HMS has sent home a paper copy to be filled out and returned. This year, we are trying to streamline the process and are pulling the AUP off of the Annual Emergency Information Update (AEIU).

Mrs. Rihn, our Technology Systems Specialist, has finished filtering the current data from the AEIU. Students who do not have an updated AEIU, which contains the AUP, on file will have their device locked by the end of October.

Thank you to those who have completed the AEIU thus far! If you have not done so already, please take a few moments to fill out the AEIU - HERE!

On Friday October 10, 2025, some of our students had the opportunity to learn about fire prevention, safety, and operations. Some of our local fire fighters have been visiting schools throughout Berkeley County for fire prevention week. We thank our first responders for taking the time to come and speak to our students.
