HMS Bearcat Bulletin
May
A Note from Ms. Buschmann
The year is winding down, but there is still lots of learning to be done and some fun to be had. It has been a great school year. Thank you for all of your support and participation in your child's education.
I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge Teacher Appreciation Week. We have spent this week celebrating our staff. What we accomplish on a daily basis would not be possible without the whole team. I hope you take the opportunity to thank an HMS Staff Member this week (every week, really).
News for 8th-Grade
8th-Grade Celebration will start at 6:00 p.m. in the HMS gym. All students should arrive, dressed in khaki pants and their 8th-Grade T-shirt, in the library by 5:45 p.m. The program will be approximately 30 minutes.
At the conclusion of the ceremony, a photographer from Wagner Photography will be available in the band room for family pictures and then parents are done! Students are invited to the cafeteria to enjoy a meal, provided by Families In Action and Wings-A-Blazin', followed by a dance and prize giveaways. The dance will end at 10:00 p.m.
The 8th-grade field trip is on Tuesday, May 14. Permission slips and payment is due Friday! For the field trip, students should dress for the weather conditions and wear closed-toe shoes.
Online Registration
We will have a laptop available to use in the office during school hours if you prefer that to using your cell phone.
You must complete online registration for your student to be scheduled for classes! We will have a registration day on August 6th where 4th-6th-grade students will be able to pick up letters from their homeroom teacher and 7th and 8th-grade students will be allowed to choose their locker if their registration has been completed and approved by that date. You will also be able to register on that day if necessary. Look for a newsletter at the end of July with more information about this day.
Summer School
- Transportation is available, but summer routes are different than during the school year.
- Breakfast and lunch are provided FREE OF CHARGE to all students 18 and younger.
- Students with 100% attendance will be eligible for an incentive trip to the pool the first 3 Fridays of summer school.
Enrollment Packets are needed as soon as possible in order to ensure adequate staffing. Please contact the Middle School office or Maranda Anderson with any questions.
