PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Happy Friday, Hidden River Middle School Families!
We are just closing up two solid weeks of our state testing, and are excited to be "back to normal" with our students and schedule next week! Here are a couple of items for your attention as we head into the weekend:
- With our return to a more routine class schedule next week, we have made some slight adjustments to our bell schedule. Connections Groups will now be held Monday and Friday only (we started the year in Connections Groups every day to do some of our start of year teaching and activities), with our Hawk Time period (Hawk Time is a chance for all students to engage in focused academic improvement) being offered Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Both of these activities will take place at the same time each day, between 2nd and 3rd periods. Linked here is our revised bell schedule, starting Monday, October 11.
- Mark your calendars: October 25 - 29 is our Fall Conference Week. Students will be dismissed each day at 11:50AM. 20 minute conferences will be offered to families on Tuesday, October 26, and Thursday, October 28, from 12:30 - 3:30 (last conference starts at 3PM) and 4:30 - 7:30 (last conference starts at 7PM). More details to come next Friday!
- You should have received an email this past week notifying you of our intent to run the Healthy Youth Survey for 6th and 8th grade students this past week. We will be conducting this survey the week of October 17. If you would like to view the survey prior to October 17, you are welcome to stop by our office and read through it. All students have the option of opting out of this survey.
- Please consider completing a Free and / or Reduced Lunch application. This is not just about food security for students and families-- benefits of being considered for Free and / or Reduced Lunch (in addition to lunch and breakfast, which is already provided for all students this year) include: (1) Access to EBT cards for use outside the school system; (2) Waiver of school-based sports and activities fees; and (3) Access to our College Bound Scholarship program, which helps provide funding for ANY post-secondary education opportunities (4-year, 2-year, apprenticeships, etc...) for students who qualify. Linked HERE is information on the Monroe School District website about our Free and / or Reduced Lunch application.
Have a wonderful weekend, everyone...

ACTION REQUIRED!
STUDENT RACE AND ETHNICITY DATA COLLECTION
Recently, there was a change in federal and state law that affects how student ethnicity and race data is collected by school districts. This change now requires schools to have this data recorded for every student.
As a result, we are required to ask families to verify their child as either Hispanic/Latino or not Hispanic/Latino AND by one or more of 217 racial groups. We ask that families please respond to the two questions in Family Access for each of their students currently enrolled.
While families are not required to verify the race and ethnicity of their students, we are required as a school district to submit this data to comply with federal and state law. We will make two attempts to reach families with the request to submit their child's ethnicity and race category. If there is no response, schools are required to make the ethnicity and race selection for the student.
