Substitutes/Email Responses/COVID PROTOCOLS/Nurse's Notes
We are currently seeing a rise in COVID numbers in our area. Several of our staff are out and we are having more substitute teachers as guests. Please be patient if a teacher does not answer your email immediately. Many of our staff are having to cover for colleagues or might be off campus. You are always welcome to email your student's assistant principal or myself if you are in need of assistance with a matter. This Friday, marks the end of the 3 week grading period. Use the button below to check your students grades in Skyward. Please remember to encourage your students to continue to social distance, use the hand sanitizing stations both in class and in the halls, wear a mask on campus and bring a refillable water bottle with them daily. Currently, only the bottle fillers are open on our campus. Many of our classes have reinstituting desk shields and rows and we are working on having split lunch locations finalized soon. Please take a moment to review the Nurse's Notes button below to see the latest protocols for reporting COVID positives and when to keep your students home. Don't forget!! This Saturday, January 29th we will be holding our final HB 4545 READING Tutoring session here at HFMS. Please see below for more information about this weekend's session and future sessions. Please remember to reach out if you have any questions.

Students will have the option to take the test on their iPad, so please be sure to submit any work tickets and/or pay fines to allow them to have a working device for this day. 8th grade students will be taking the test from 9:00 - 1:25 in the morning, then go to C lunch. 6th and 7th grade students might attend a different lunch than usual, as they will only have the option of A or B lunch. More detailed information will be coming soon!
Student ID's
90% of students have received their ID cards, lanyard, and ID sleeve. Many students have a yellow and/or purple sticker on the back. These represent a nine weeks where a student did not have an infraction or a referral. It is our expectation that students wear their ID's around their neck. Those students who did not receive their ID card will be receiving one soon.
College Shirt Day
Join us by wearing your favorite college shirt every Wednesday for the remainder of the school year.
