Hampton Bays Middle School
Parent Express Bulletin #17
Our Kids...
It's exciting to see, over the years, how many viewers this bulletin has drawn through the PTO PEX email blasts! We are grateful to service of our PTO members and encourage all parents to use PTO to become more involved in your adolescent's middle school experience.
This past week, our School Counseling Team sponsored an annual tradition: College Awareness Day. You can see more about it by visiting our school website and reading more about the event: "Alumni Inspire Middle Schoolers" http://www.hbschools.us/ .
This always proves to be a special event. Helping "our kids" catch a glimpse of their futures, as they see it after high school graduation. But what was SO special about this year's event was that each and every college student who visited with us was once a student at Hampton Bays Middle School and all were graduates of the Hampton Bays Schools.
It's amazing how time flies.
Visiting each of the classrooms where "our kids" from the past spoke with "our kids" of the future it was easy to see, there was a connection that was made. If you're a parent of an 8th grader, make sure to ask your son or daughter to tell you about what he or she learned College Awareness Day. And for all parents, take a look at the photos below, use Twitter to follow @HamptonBays_MS and #engageHB, or just check out our school website, where we've included this and so much more.
Let's keep in touch. If you have feedback, a question, or a concern, please don't hesitate to call or email me directly, or schedule time to visit with our teachers or with me. We are here for you, and for your children.
Thank you for all you do to promote a positive home-school and school-home partnership for our adolescents!
Sincerely,
Dennis Schug
