Tiger Times
HCMS Family Newsletter, Sept 5, 2022
This week
Tuesday is our first virtual day of the school year. On virtual days, teachers have placed a short assignment for students to complete. Assignments may be accessed through Canvas on your child's device. Most assignments are review and practice, or in some cases, reading. If your child has a question that you are unable to answer, they can reach out to their teacher via Canvas or ask on Wednesday.
On Thursday night we have OPEN HOUSE at HCMS. Drop in between 5:30 and 7pm. If you would like to hear about HCMS from the administration or PTO, please plan to be in the theater by 6:15. We can't wait to have you visit your children's classrooms to hear about what they are learning this year.
Friday we will observe Patriot Day, commemorating 9/11/01. Please encourage your child to wear red, white and blue.
We had picture day last week and it is not too late to order pictures. The most efficient way to purchase is at the following link: my.lifetouch.com and put this code in where it asks for your Picture Day ID: EVTPZRQMW
Lifetouch has a partnership with Shutterfly so there are a lot of options!!Make up picture day is October 5th.
Through a partnership with the foodbank and DFUMC, we are able to provide "Tiger Treats" which is a bag of food we will send home with your child on Fridays, if it would be helpful to your family. Here is the link for parents to sign their student up to bring home Saturday sacks this year.
