Service Hours
If your child has entered service hours for this school year and the hours are still not approved, it means whomever the student listed as the event supervisor has not yet verified the hours.
Please encourage your child to reach out to the supervisor. They will get an email from x2vol. It is one question where the supervisor clicks to verify the hours.
Please reach out to Catherine Shapiro at cshapiro@uaschools.org if you have any questions.
Health Office Restroom
Please remind your students that they will always be able to find personal hygiene supplies in the health office restroom. We need everyone to know that there is a place to find what they need, even if a restroom dispenser is empty. This helps us make sure it gets refilled promptly for others as well. Thank you!
6th Grade Social
May 15, 2025, from 5:20-6:50 pm is our 6th grade social! We are looking for volunteers to help chaperone the event and donate food and water. This event will be outside at HMS on the basketball court and grassy areas/fields.
All food/water donations should be dropped off by 9:00 a.m. in the front office by May 15th labeled " 6th grade social," since the other grades will be having their donations dropped off at the same time.
