HMS Weekly Update
August 30, 2024
HMS New Construction-Please Read!
We are excited to announce that the construction of our new middle school is officially starting! Work will begin on September 3rd, with the installation of fencing marking the construction zone.
Please note that, due to the fencing, students will not be able to walk across the football field or next to HES. To ensure their safety, your child will need to use alternative routes to enter HMS. The attached diagram outlines the fenced area with a blue line and alternative pathways with black arrows.
Safety remains a top priority for both HMS and APS. All emergency exits will remain accessible, and in case of an emergency, the red arrows on the diagram indicate the designated exit routes for students.
While the sudden change may present some initial challenges, we are pleased to share some exciting new additions. The blue area on the diagram will be transformed into a new outdoor recess space for HMS students. This area will feature basketball half courts, tetherball, shaded benches and chairs, and sand volleyball!
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we embark on this exciting phase of our school's development.
