Why are Middle School Clubs important?
October represents an important phase in our middle school year. Our classroom routines are in place and good learning habits are forming. Students are beginning to identify where they will need to focus to attain their personal best. And...after school clubs have begun!
After school clubs are one of the many unique aspects of our middle school program at HBMS. The majority of our clubs begin in October and run the duration of the school year. We have "open enrollment" in that students can choose to attend any clubs at any point, by themselves or with a friend or groups of friends. Clubs are a great way to explore interests and dive deeper into what we enjoy. Depending on the club, they run on different days, but for the most part, they run during our "Activity Period", from dismissal until 3:10. In the event we need to cancel any clubs that are scheduled, we do our very best to do that in advance, and notify students ahead of time.
We promote clubs every day during our morning announcements and the overall list with more information is posted on our website, at the following link:

We encourage parents to talk to your children about the advantages to checking out all we have to offer, right after school. And if your children want to learn more, they can ask for more information in the main office, or they can ask the sponsoring teacher or their Advisory teacher.
So this week...this month..talk it over with your kids. Ask them which club they will be trying out for the first time? We're looking forward to hearing about a special interest that was sparked, right after school.
As always, thank you for your partnership and the important role you play in school-home communication.
Sincerely,
Dennis Schug
