MAP Testing at HMS
Our mission at HMS is to help every student to be their best, and we've been working hard in class to give students the knowledge and skills they need to do well. There are a few things that you can do at home to help support us during testing:
- Talk to your child about doing his or her best while building confidence that he/she has been taught the skills and knowledge to do well
- Make sure students get plenty of sleep before testing
- Eat a good breakfast with protein for the brain to feed on
- Keep your daily activities as routine as possible
- Avoid scheduling conflicts with testing such as doctor and dentist appointments
Thank you for your continuous support of your children and our school.

Student of the Month
The March Student of the Month celebration was once again emceed and coordinated by HMS Student Council Members. In March, we recognized students who display a positive work ethic. A couple of my favorite things said by our student council members about positive work ethic:
- You can use your time wisely and stick to what you said you were going to do. -Melanie
- Positive work ethic means trying your best and not giving up. It is knowing you can do something not thinking you can't. -Sebastian
There were more nominations this month than any month past, which is a testament to how hard HMS students work.
The nominees for March:
Middle Row: Brendan, Aden, Will, Dayton, Ochean, Deanna, Alaina, Quin, Katy, Jillian, Jackson, Dane
