Hawk News

Thank you to our HMS community for a great first week of school! All of the kindness, positive energy, and excitement had everyone at Hays feeling Happy to Be a Hawk!

Thank you for helping us maintain safety during arrival and dismissal by adhering to the procedures. A few important reminders:

• In the mornings, the back and side doors will not open until 7:45 when we have staff on duty at those stations. Students who arrive prior to 7:45 will need to use the main entrance. (This excludes athletes, who will enter through gym doors when on campus for early practice.)
• When dropping off or picking up, please utilize the carpool lanes and allow students to walk to/from the building on their own. If your child is walking or riding a bike, please make a plan to meet them on the perimeter of the campus rather than at the door.

• Our current crossing guard at Aragon & Hillcrest is a teacher whose duty at that spot starts at 7:45, and she'll return inside in time for her 1st period class. Please be mindful of this when planning walking/biking timing with your kids.

• The morning carpool lanes have been looking great! If you're trying to plan your timing for drop-off, there's plenty of space between about 7:55-8:05. All students should be in the building and transitioning to 1st period by 8:10.
• We know you're doing your best, and we are too. Kindness is key during carpool! 🙂

• Join PTO! Your membership and partnership help to fund materials, experiences, and celebrations for students and teachers throughout the year!
• Give your child a birthday shout out with a message on the Hays marquee! Details here!
