Even if you have completed the forms please pull into the front loop for any additional forms or information before pulling around back to park and complete all other items. Once all items are complete, send ONLY the student to the breezeway with all documents. Your child will be provided with their Office 365 login at pickup, in case they do not remember their information. Teachers know that some students will not be able to log on until they receive this information, and are prepared to be patient and understanding. We ask for the same patience and understanding in return. Enjoy your evening!

HMS Fall Sports Season Passes
Season passes for the Fall Sports of Football, Soccer and Volleyball will be on sale starting tomorrow 9/1/20 from 2-4 everyday through Friday 9/4/20. We will be set up in the Breezeway between the old and new buildings. Please remain in your car in the front loop and someone will come to your car and assist you. Currently only parents/guardians may buy the passes as we are a yellow county according to the state guidelines. A pass is $20 (cash only) and it will get you in to every home game for that particular sport. These passes are non-refundable should any games have to be canceled. This is the only way to get in games this year as all home tickets must be pre-sold.
HMS- virtual computer deployment schedule

7th Grade Wednesday (9/2/2020)
8th Grade Thursday (9/3/2020)
10:00am-2:00pm
Student must be present with a parent to complete paperwork.
Front of new building where the breezeway gate is located.
Individuals will stay in cars. Needed paperwork will be brought to each vehicle and will be completed before a computer will be given to the student. The student will need to log onto the computer while they are in the car to connect to the system. They will use their office 365 account. That information will be provided for those that do not know it. Once paperwork is collected and the student successfully logs in you may leave the area.
Please remember buses will run 30 minutes later than usual.
Students who walk to school or are parent drop off may not arrive at HMS until 8:00am. This change allows for safety protocols to be followed.
Breakfast will be served each day as well as lunch. There are a few changes to lunch this year. Microwave will not be used, and individuals may not bring outside food items to students during the school day.
If you sign your child out for any part of the school day for an appointment, they may return with a doctor note. However, if a student is signed out for any other reason, they will not be allowed to return that day.
Masks will be required for students and staff as well as any individuals that report to HMS for any reason.
Please discuss with your child the importance of following all safety guidelines in relation to the Putnam County Roadmap to Responsible Return. This can be found on the county website.

In person schedule pick up.
Students attending school 5 days a week may report the new building by the breezeway gate to pick up their schedules. Individuals will stay in cars. Someone will come to you and deliver the schedule.

7th grade 11:00am-1:00pm
8th grade 1:30pm-3:30pm
Good evening! We are sure you have questions about the start time at HMS with the decision by PCS to delay start times. HMS a will start at 8:30am, with the first buses arriving at 7:45 and drop-offs/walkers at 8:00. We completely understand that that is not convenient for some of you; however, in order to have extra staff on duty for supervision and to ensure appropriate social distancing — it is necessary.
As far as suggested supply lists go, just stick with the basics: binder, paper, pens. Teachers will discuss other suggested items in the first few days.
A call will be coming in the next couple of days with details for virtual students and computer/schedule pick up.
If you have questions, please feel free to call the school.
Hello, All! Happy Sunday! Teachers start back tomorrow and will be busy all week in exciting trainings and preparing their classrooms for the return of students. More information about the start of school will be coming this week. Please remember that at this time things are ever-changing and be patient with us as we move forward through this journey together. If you have an upcoming sixth grader, and they have not yet watched our virtual move up day on YouTube the link is listed below. A few details from the video may be changing, and we will update our families of those changes as soon as possible.
