Weekly Bulletin

August 28th, 2023- Weekly School Bulletin Hello Families, Our first week of school at HSHMC was a huge success! Students had a great time during our Welcome Week and had the opportunity to participate in fun games and activities on Thursday during our Kippy’s Cup event. Make sure to ask your students about their week and the Kippy’s Cup! For safety reasons, if your student will be driving to school, they will need to fill out a form with some information in order to have driving privileges on campus. They can retrieve this form from the front office and turn it back in before they will be allowed to drive to school. We have some exciting sports that we will be offering at HSHMC this school year that include cross country (Mr. Ruff and Mr. Arnold), girls’ volleyball (Ms. Prince and Ms. Trgo), and flag football (Mr. Miranda and Mr. Lauritzen). If your student is interested in participating in any of these sports, please have them contact one of the coaches at school. If you are interested in becoming a part of our Parent Committee or are already a member, please join us this Wednesday, August 30th for our meeting via Zoom at 4:30pm. The Zoom link can be found on our HSHMC website! Please join us for our Back to School Celebration at HSHMC on Wednesday, September 13th! All family members are welcome to meet us at our Kippy's Center on top of our parking structure from 5pm-7pm. Come join us for a night of fun to meet with teachers, learn about/join clubs, eat dinner, enjoy games, and listen to live music! This is a chance to meet teachers and staff, as well as mingle with fellow families! Please use the link bellow to sign up and provide your student's name, grade, and the number of total people attending. https://forms.gle/jfNkH13voHCRWMAZ9 Attendance matters!
