The Hive

We had a wonderful week on campus! The sun has been shining and that always creates a community that is upbeat and positive. All of the kids have been outside playing volleyball, basketball, 4 square, or just walking around talking with friends. It always brings a smile to our faces.

We have a couple of busy weeks coming up! Please scroll below for more information.

Have the best weekend!

With kindness,

BC & SS

It is that time of year, again! Forecasting for the 2024-2025 school year for HMS will take place on Thursday, March 7th 2:30-3:20 pm in each student's Homebase classroom. We are still working out the elective choices for students next year. I will communicate classes, with descriptors, as soon as they are finalized to 6th and 7th grade families. This will provide an opportunity for you and your child to have a conversation about electives prior to the forecasting date. 8th graders will also be forecasting on this date. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

Our spring band concert is coming up on Thursday, March 7th at 7:00pm in the MPR room at HHS. We are excited to hear our bands perform!

On Saturday, March 9th we will have our Applebee's Band Fundraiser from 8:00-10:00am.

We hope to see you there!

This week’s challenge is to be kind to yourself. Being kind to ourselves is as important as being kind to others. When we take the time to recharge, practice positive thinking and self-compassion, we become better students and friends.

This is a friendly reminder that it is important for students to keep the protective cases on their school issued Chromebooks to protect them from accidental damage. If you opted into the Hockinson Assurance Program at the beginning of the 2023-24 school year, and your student's Chromebook is damaged while any part of the case is off, the cost of repair will not be covered by your assurance as is stated in the exclusions section of the assurance form.

Here is the Hockinson Assurance Program form if you would like to take a closer look at what it offers, including coverage and exclusions. If you opted out of the assurance program at the beginning of the year and would like to have assurance coverage, you can opt-in at any time after your student's Chromebook has been inspected for damage. A paper form can be sent home with your student, or you can make an online payment through InTouch, the HSD payment portal.
