Freshman Orientation Night
I know many of you are still in denial, but your 8th-grade student will be entering high school in the fall. Freshman Orientation night is Wednesday, February 12, 2020, at 6:00 p.m. at Hermann High School. Mrs. Pazdera, the high school counselor, will present information about registration, Individual Career and Academic Plans (ICAP), and the A+ program. High School students will also be available to give guided tours of the building.

ICAP/Freshman Schedule Work Night
Mrs. Pehle is planning a work night for any family interested in getting help with the Individual Career and Academic Plan (ICAP), formerly known as a four-year plan or personal plan of study, and schedule choices for the freshman year. Students and parents should plan on attending together, as Chromebook access is important to completing the ICAP. There will be a short presentation with tips for success followed by time to work with Mrs. Pehle. Please make plans to join us in the HMS Libray on Thursday, February 20, 2020, at 5:15 p.m.
We purposely scheduled this the same evening as the parent meeting for those interested in running track. Both meetings are fairly short, and we received positive feedback about having the two meetings back to back last year. We will provide a small meal at the ICAP work night.
Please contact Mrs. Pehle if you have any questions about this.

Other Dates of Note
- Typically, the 8th-grade class celebrates the end of their time here at HMS with fieldtrip. Discussions about this year's destination are ongoing, but we will send the date and details about the trip by the end of March.
- The 8th-Grade promotion ceremony is set for May 8. It will begin at 6:00 p.m. and be approximately 45 minutes to an hour-long. The ceremony will be followed by an 8th-grade dinner and a middle school dance. The dress code for this evening is khaki slacks and the 8th-grade T-shirt. T-shirts and desserts that evening are provided by the HMS Parent Advisory fund. Families in action will send out a reservation form for dinner and the dance early in May.
- Mrs. Pazdera will present information about Freshman classes and class registration shortly after Freshman orientation. Look for that information to come home that afternoon.
