Raider Update
October 16, 2022
Message from the Superintendent
Hello Raider Families,
A big shout out to our Marching Band that took first place in the class A Youth In Music Marching Band Championships last weekend! This coming week is a short one, with conferences during the day on Wednesday and then MEA break on Thursday and Friday.
Mid-October is a great time to check in on warm weather clothes for students, especially those who ride buses and our elementary students who go outside for recess. For students who did not play a fall sport but will be participating in winter sports, please make sure they have their sports physicals turned in. As always, if you notice your student is struggling in any way, please reach out to your principal, counselor, or teacher. We have many supports and resources in place for students at all levels.
Bob McDowell, Ed.D.
Superintendent

We have had overwhelming feedback from parents asking us to keep the virtual option for conferences. You have told us that it is so much more efficient and that it is convenient. If you want an in-person conference experience, we just ask that you sign up and put that in the special request field.
We will once again be using PTC Fast for conference sign-up on this link: HMS PTC Fast Conference sign-up.
