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!

8th Grade Panorama Photo

We are excited about our upcoming Panoramic "Big Pic" Class Group Portrait scheduled to be taken on Friday – May 2nd at 9:40am. This class portrait has become a school tradition, and we hope everyone comes dressed in school colors to make this the best Class Portrait EVER!! Posters with examples of last year's pictures are on display at the school...have your child take a picture of the poster for an idea of what you can expect the "Big Pic" to look like. Past years and samples are also posted at usafoto.biz.

Just prior to the event, you will be receiving the PICTURE DAY ONLY SPECIALS order envelope sent home with your son or daughter. Use it to place your order (with payment) and bring it to the photographer on Picture Day.

If you have additional questions regarding the event or how to order, call 1-800-872-3686. Thanks, and we will see you in your colors on Picture Day!

Mandatory Student and Parent/Guardian Meeting

Each student attending the Washington DC trip must attend one of the following with their parent/guardian.

April 30th @ 7:30pm - Jones Middle School

May 1st @ 7:30pm - Hastings Middle School

Dates: May 13, 2025 - May 16, 2025

Website: www.studentadventures.org

Trip Code: HMS2514

Questions?: Cathy Johnson or Evie Lay

Middle School students in Upper Arlington are asked to complete five hours of community service each year. If your child is volunteering anywhere this year or even just out shoveling a neighbor’s driveway (and not getting paid), those things count toward hours.

The information about community service and logging hours is on the Hastings website: https://hastings.uaschools.org/academic-program/community-service

We will be working with students to help them log hours later this month. Students should see their grade level counselor if they have questions.
