Happy Holidays!

Wishing everyone a safe, warm and wonderful holiday season! As the weather gets colder, we look forward to seeing all of our middle schoolers dressed appropriately for the cold. As always, if you need any assistance, call the HMS main office (708-458-7590).

Uniform Reminder:

Per our district uniform policy, plain black or maroon sweaters, sweatshirts, or hooded sweatshirts may be worn over a collared maroon polo or dress shirt or a plain white or black undershirt. Hooded sweatshirts must be worn with the hood down.

Appropriate footwear must be worn at all times. Open-backed footwear is not permitted (sandals, slippers, slides, including all Croc style footwear) Gym shoes must be worn during physical education classes and athletic programs.
