5th and 6th grade families should have already been emailed with their scheduled conference time.

7th and 8th grade families will be contacted next week if the staff feels that a conference would be beneficial to their student's success.

All of our students should have recently signed a behavior agreement form that acknowledges that they have reviewed the student handbook, and know what the behavior expectations are at HLMS. We would appreciate it if you could take a moment to review the student hand book (link below) as well.

Just a reminder, students are not allowed to have cell phones out during school hours. We require them to be kept off and in their locker or backpack during the day. This includes breaks and at lunch. Please encourage your student to come to the office or their teachers if they have a concern or need help instead of reaching out to you via cell phone during the day. This way we can help make sure that all your student's needs are being met. We have a student phone available in the commons that is always available.

Conferences are scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 9th from 5:00pm to 8:00pm and Thursday, Nov. 10th from 8:00am-12:00pm. Thank you to the many families that have already signed up. Here is the link to sign up for a slot. We are looking forward to seeing you all. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdcs414PhRS0ezrv1JeXvtKXHUDDNFuUv1Pcv5JraLDlw_ATA/viewform
