School Board Recognition Month
January is School Board Recognition Month! HBMS would like to thank all of the Lake Travis ISD Board of Trustees for their dedication and service to our staff, students, and community.
APEX Color Games is Here!!
During the Apex Color Games fundraiser, students will be challenged to get donations from family and friends to help our school. We’ll end the 2-week fundraiser with a celebratory event called Apex Color Games for students who participate in the fundraiser (think lots of color, games, fun raffle prizes, snacks, loud music, high energy, and FUN!) And WE NEED YOUR HELP!
These funds will go toward HBMS teacher grants and campus enrichment. Thank you for your support!

Staff Shout Outs!
Did a teacher or staff member do something outstanding for your child? Use this Form to submit a staff shout out! This will be printed, and I will hand deliver it to the teacher. Thank you for helping me encourage our amazing HBMS staff as we head into a new semester!
HBMS Spirit Store
Show off your Buccaneer Pride! The PTO Spirit Store is open. All orders placed before Wednesday of each week will be available for pickup from the front office every Friday. Go BUCS!
We are also offering a half-off sale on all the remaining PROUD shirts and hoodies.
Morning & Afternoon Homework Help
Homework Help is offered before and after school. This is a quiet work session facilitated by a faculty member for students to get help with or complete homework assignments.
BEFORE SCHOOL - 7:20-8:20am (Monday-Friday)
- Room 748 with Mr. Beatty
- Library with Ms. Hooker
- Room 775 with Mr. Gaffney
AFTER SCHOOL - 4:20-5:20pm (Monday-Thursday)
- Mondays and Wednesdays - Room 752 with Mr. Zambito
- Tuesdays and Thursdays - Room 775 with Mr. Gaffney
- There will not be Homework Help on Friday afternoons
As a reminder, we do not have late buses running routes this year, so if your child stays after school for Homework Help, it is the expectation that you pick him/her up at 5:20pm.
HBMS Leadership Team
While our campus leadership team works collaboratively with all students and teachers, the following information should help you reach the appropriate administrator or counselor for your child's grade level should a question or concern arise.
