HMS Bearcat Bulletin
February 2019
A Note from Ms. Buschmann
At the Board of Education meeting on February 13, a move of the fourth-grade from the HES campus back to the HMS campus was approved. Issues of space for a potential expansion of early-childhood opportunities necessitated the change. HMS is now full-steam ahead with planning for the transition of two grades of students new to the building entering at the same time. As fourth-grade was housed in the building for about 15 years, we don't anticipate any major difficulties with the transition, but please contact Ms. Buschmann if you have concerns.
Please note initial information about our Missouri Read-In Day event below. A reservation form for lunch and additional details will be sent home with students soon.
The make-up days for the snow/ice days we have had so far are February 18; April 18; and May 16, 17, 20, 21 and 22.

News for Parents of 8th-Grade Students
- Your child met with Mrs. Pazdera and Mrs. Pehle to go over registration for the High School and completion of the Individual Career and Academic Plan (ICAP) on February 12. Many have completed their schedule requests and returned them signed by you already and many have made good progress on the ICAP. Mrs. Pehle has prepared a presentation about the ICAP and set aside time to work with students and parents on Tuesday, February 19 at 5:30. It is important that students attend so parents can access the ICAP and course guide in Google Drive.
- The 8th-Grade promotion ceremony will be held as originally scheduled on May 10, 2019. It will begin at 6:00 p.m. and last approximately 35-45 minutes. Families in Action will provide a meal for 8th-Grade students to follow and a dance for 6th through 8th-Grade students following that.
- The 8th-Grade end of the year field trip will be on May 14.
More specific end of the year information will be sent home with students at a future date.
