A Message from the School Nurse
Vision Screenings will be completed on all 8th graders and new HMS students the week of November 18-22nd. If time allows, screenings will be completed on 6th and 7th grade as well. Please contact Mrs. Creel, School Nurse at plcreel@k12.wv.us or 304-754-3313 if you have any questions or wish for your student NOT to be screened.
Parents will be contacted by Mrs. Creel and a letter will be sent home with your child if a follow-up visit with the eye doctor is recommended.
Reminder to all parents of 6th graders. Tdap and Meningitis vaccine is required for all students before starting 7th Grade. Please make your appointment now to have these completed and submit an updated copy of your childs immunization record to Mrs. Creel, School Nurse.
Thank you for keeping our students healthy and in school ready to learn!
Mrs. Creel, School Nurse
Canned Food Drive
The Student Council is kicking off its annual canned food drive this week! The canned food drive will be from November 12th until November 22nd. You can bring in canned goods or non-perishable items like pudding, macaroni and cheese, or fruit cups. Turn in the food to your homeroom teacher. Let’s get collecting and make a difference!
Way to go to the 8th grade band members who participated in step-up night! Please enjoy the video below of their fantastic performance!
