5Essentials Parent Survey
Parents/guardians: Please take a few minutes to complete the 5Essentials parent survey for our school. The survey is administered online by UChicago Impact and is designed to generate a detailed picture of the inner workings of Illinois schools. The survey takes approximately 10-15 minutes to complete and is available in English and Spanish. To take the survey, visit https://survey.5-essentials.org/Illinois/. Families can submit one survey for each child. The survey window will be open until March 11, 2022. Your participation in the parent survey will help us understand the conditions at our school and guide improvement. Your identity and survey responses will be kept completely confidential and will never be connected to you or your child. Thank you for your consideration and support!

Fastbridge Assessment Reports
The individual student reports will be posted in ParentVUE and be available for families in conjunction with our Trimester 2 progress reports on February 25th. Parents will be notified to view these reports just as they are the progress reports.
PTO Happenings
The HBMS PTO was busy during the month of January. We hosted two successful Dining for Dollars events that resulted in raising about $350 for the school. We were able to bring a little Valentine’s Day ambiance into the hallways for the students to enjoy, as well as updating the H.E.A.R.T. Award bulletin board. So many students stopped by to let us know how much they liked and appreciated the decorations! The PTO was also happy to be able to sponsor our 8th grade students to attend an upcoming performance of Into The Woods at Prairie Ridge. We are also busy showing our Guest Teachers our appreciation for giving their time to help support our own faculty members. Guest Teachers are vital to keeping classrooms running smoothly when our own teachers are unable to be there. The PTO is providing little treats to welcome them to HBMS.
The Spirit Wear and Concessions committees are back in the school during athletic games and matches, but are still in need of parent volunteers. Please take a look at the SignUp Genius link for available shifts and consider volunteering!
