The next opportunity to change educational formats will be Jan 11- 15 for the third semester. Have a great weekend.
Hello
Students should not download games and programs to their school computers. Doing so slows the computers down and is a breach of the use policy. Please ask your student to delete all items they downloaded to their school computer.
Please check with your student about their grades. The nine weeks ends next Monday, and many students have missing assignments or zeros. If your student is virtual, they should attend each TEAMS call to help them with their classwork. HMS staff has been busy calling and sending emails to both parents and students about missing work. Please help us help your student be successful by checking their grades. Parent account information was mailed out weeks ago from the county office. If you need help logging on, please call your students counselor.
Please note that all meals are free this year at all Putnam County Schools.
Have a great evening.
Hello.
Please discuss with your student the importance of wearing their face masks at HMS. All students are required to wear them for their protection as well as others. Nose and mouth need covered at all times other than lunch.
Please have your student check for any missing assignments as the nine weeks will be ending November 2.
Tomorrow is the last day to request a change from in person to virtual or from virtual to in person. Please call your grade level counselor to make that request.
Drop off parents should utilize the 4 drop off stops to allow students to exit their cars. The first one is the first gray sidewalk by the building and the other three will follow behind. Please pull all the way up so we keep the line moving and help with traffic.
Have a great evening.

Dear Yearbook Adviser,
As COVID-19 has changed the way we live from day to day, we made a promise to keep you informed about your yearbook. Printing your school's yearbook remains our commitment and priority. Lifetouch, like many organizations, continues to be impacted by COVID-19, which has resulted in unexpected yearbook delivery dates. Because you're a valued partner, we want to continue to let you know we are working on delivering your yearbook as soon as possible.
We realize the school year has started for many of you, and to not have your yearbook is not ideal. For that, we apologize.
Additionally, we have heard your feedback, and are investing in and implementing process improvements to ensure something like this doesn't happen again in future years.
Thank you for your partnership and understanding throughout this time. We will continue to work on printing your yearbook as quickly as possible.
Please contact your Lifetouch Account Manager with any questions.
Sincerely,
Your partners at Lifetouch
