HMS Open House!
Wednesday, August 28th (7th grade*) from 11:00 am - 2:00 pm
Thursday, August 29th (8th grade*) from 11:00 am - 2:00 pm.
*Although days have been designated by grade, students may attend either day as convenient.
Students, accompanied by an adult, are welcome to visit HMS during these times for self-guided tours to become acquainted with the location of classrooms, common areas, and to practice opening lockers, etc. Maps of the school will be available at the school entry points. (See “Student Schedules” section below for more info on when and how to access your tentative schedule information). Please preview “how to open a locker” information and video on our website at: https://hms.htps.us/o/hms/page/lockers
The HMS Home & School Association will be on hand with RaiderWear and information for the upcoming school year.
Teachers are not scheduled to be present during the open house events as they do not report to school until September 3rd. Individual classrooms will not be open.
Health Office
HMS school nurses, Mrs. Williams and Mr. Fiduk, will be available to receive medication forms and medications in advance of the upcoming school year, Aug 21, 22, 23 and again Aug. 27, 28 and 29 between 9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
As a reminder, medication orders must be renewed every school year, even if your child self-carries their medication. Any medication, including over the counter medication (OTC), requires a completed medication form by their physician. Medication consent forms may be found on the district website. Please submit asthma treatment plans, diabetes school management plans, epinephrine medication forms, medication request forms, seizure action plans, and any other information related to the health care of your child (including self-carry/self-administration orders for inhalers and Epinephrine auto-injectors) prior to the beginning of the 2024-2025 school year.
Also, this is a reminder that state-mandated health screenings will take place throughout the school year (7th grade: height, weight, blood pressure, hearing, and scoliosis. 8th grade: height, weight, blood pressure and vision). If you do not want these screenings performed in school, you must send Mrs. Williams (krwilliams@htps.us) an email with that request.
Please be sure to notify Mrs. Williams of any change to your child's health status (new immunizations, medication, medical diagnosis, surgery). If you would like to meet with Mrs. Williams please reach out to her via email to set up an appointment.
