Hampton Bays Middle School
Parent Express Bulletin #20
We Are HBMS!
If you are a regular reader of this S'more, you'll know what it's all about. Families are busy these days and being a parent of a middle school student is no easy task!
This is why we include the following in each edition:
- Articles, videos, and resources to give busy parents tools to succeed with our kids.
- We Are HBMS! clickable monthly slide shows, sharing how we engage our kids at school.
- Photos and tweets shared by our teachers...to bring our parents "into the classroom".
The goal is, by sharing this weekly communication, we get conversations started...between school and home, between parents and their kids, and between parents and other parents.
Have a suggestion? Want to see something new or different? Please email or call me directly. I'd love to learn more about how we can serve our middle school families better!
Thank you for all you do to promote a positive home-school and school-home partnership for our adolescents!
Sincerely,
Dennis Schug
