September 1–30: HMS fundraiser at The Thirsty Lion

October 12: NO SCHOOL (Staff Inservice Day)

October 24: Picture Retake Day

November 3: HMS Unity Night #1

Greetings HMS Families,

We are three weeks into the school year and our students are making us proud with the new routines and expectations. Now that they’ve had time getting to know where they are supposed to be each period, we brought back the reward system used last year to recognize students being on time to class.

Next week, we will start addressing tardies and skipping. This will include a range of responses including partnering with families, to assigning lunch detention centered around reteaching of the expectations on being responsible. More details can be found on the Hazelbrook Student Handbook site, linked here. Skipping class will result in an office discipline referral, a conversation with an administrator or dean of students to learn what the root cause of them skipping is, a phone call home, and detention to make up lost work time and relearn expectations around being safe and responsible.

This week we also practiced our first fire and evacuation drill. In the event of an emergency where staff and students need to evacuate the building, students are to follow the teachers directions of their teachers.

Lastly, some of our students have chosen to participate in the “one chip challenge” during lunch. We would like to ask that you do not send you child to school with any of these chips and that you discourage them from attempting this challenge. We will be confiscating these chips when we see them and calling home to inform you. Students have experienced so much discomfort and pain which has affected their ability to be present in class and in more severe cases, children have been hospitalized. We care about your child’s well-being and education.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership.

Saludos familias de HMS,

Estamos a tres semanas en el año escolar y nuestros estudiantes nos hacen sentir orgullosos con las nuevas rutinas y expectativas. Ahora que han tenido tiempo para saber dónde se supone que deben estar en cada período, trajimos el sistema de recompensas que se usó el año pasado para reconocer a los estudiantes que llegan a tiempo a clase.

La próxima semana, comenzaremos a abordar las tardanzas y las faltas. Esto incluirá una variedad de respuestas que incluyen asociarse con las familias, asignar detención durante el almuerzo centrada en volver a enseñar las expectativas de ser responsable. Se pueden encontrar más detalles en el sitio del Manual del estudiante de Hazelbrook, vinculado aquí. Faltar a clase resultará en una remisión disciplinaria a la oficina, una conversación con un administrador o decano de estudiantes para saber cuál es la causa raíz de la falta, una llamada telefónica a casa y detención para recuperar el tiempo de trabajo perdido y volver a aprender las expectativas sobre estar seguro y responsable.

Esta semana también practicamos nuestro primer simulacro de incendio y evacuación. En caso de una emergencia en la que el personal y los estudiantes necesiten evacuar el edificio, los estudiantes deben seguir las instrucciones de los maestros de sus maestros.

Por último, algunos de nuestros estudiantes han optado por participar en el "desafío de un chip" durante el almuerzo. Nos gustaría pedirle que no envíe a su hijo a la escuela con ninguno de estos chips y que los desanime de intentar este desafío. Confiscaremos estas fichas cuando las veamos y llamaremos a casa para informarles. Los estudiantes han experimentado tanta incomodidad y dolor que ha afectado su capacidad para estar presentes en clase y, en casos más graves, los niños han sido hospitalizados. Nos preocupamos por el bienestar y la educación de su hijo.

Gracias por su continuo apoyo y colaboración.
