We Are HBMS!
Dear HBMS Families:
This week, we are eager to welcome our incoming 5th graders and their families! The following message is one we hope to pass along to our newest HBMS families - please share it if you know someone who'd appreciate learning about "a week in the life" at HBMS.
-----
Several years ago, we started a school Twitter account, @HamptonBays_MS, and we've since embedded it on our school website. The idea behind this was to share what middle school, what learning, and what meaningful engagement looks like for adolescents in the 21st Century. Hopefully, these images have started some conversations in your homes, and have helped "fill in the blanks" when parents ask, "What did you do at school today?" and our adolescents respond, "Nothing." (Because we all know...that's just not true... : )
Here is a link to this month's Storify, a digital slideshow and a collection of tweets from the month of May:
Take a look and start a conversation about what you see. While it's not everything we do, it does represent a good balance of the action of middle school.
Thanks for all you do to promote a positive home-school and school-home partnership for our adolescents!
Sincerely,
Dennis Schug
