It's Parent/Teacher Conference time!  You should have received an email with all of this information last week, so make sure you get signed up if you would like to talk with any of your students teachers next week.  

Thank you to Mrs. Bebow and Mrs. Bishop for putting on the first ever HMS Great Inflatable Race on October 31st.  The staff took on the Cross Country team in a fun and hilarious course of events.  It was a great way to get everyone together and finish out our Halloween Spirit week.  

School Vaccine Reminder & Reporting

Even though the school year is underway, it’s not too late to make sure your child is up to date on required vaccines. Immunizations such as Tdap and Meningococcal conjugate are required for our 7th graders and are critical for protecting your child and the entire school community from serious diseases.

By law, schools must verify student immunization records or waivers and report them to the Michigan Care Improvement Registry (MCIR). This reporting helps local health departments monitor protection levels and respond quickly if an outbreak occurs. Schools submit reports in November and February to meet state compliance requirements.

Staying up to date on vaccines keeps classrooms safer, reduces the spread of preventable illness, and ensures fewer disruptions to learning.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

We hope this message finds you well! As we move further into the school year, we want to remind families of the importance of having an up-to-date medication authorization form on file for any student who may need medication during the school day.

If your child requires an EpiPen, inhaler, or any other prescribed or over-the-counter medication while at school, we must have the proper documentation completed and signed by both a parent/guardian and the child’s healthcare provider. This ensures we can safely and promptly assist your student in the event of a medical need.

Please note that medications cannot be given at school without a current medication form on file. This includes carrying or self-administering inhalers, EpiPens, or any other type of emergency medication.

Medication forms are available in the school office or can be downloaded from our district website. If you need assistance completing the form or have any questions about your child’s health plan, please don’t hesitate to contact our school nurse.

Thank you for helping us keep all students safe and healthy at school!

Warm regards,

Nurse Becky

All Athletes that will be participating in tryouts or practices at any time this school year, must have a current sports physical uploaded into Final Forms. All information in Final Forms must be complete and registration fee paid before your first game/match/meet. Getting these things done now will help you get off to a great season!

Did you forget to order a yearbook LAST YEAR??

We have a few left in the office, so stop by and

Do you have any yarn or material just laying around that you want to get rid of? Our Life Skills class would love to take in your donations. Please drop them off in the HMS Office anytime during our normal business hours. Thank you for helping our students learn some of the basics for a lifetime.
