Our first quarter ends in two weeks on October 30. At this point, if your child is carrying an “I” (Incomplete) in any course, they could be at risk of failing by the end of the quarter if they do not act now to clear the incomplete. Please check your child’s grades in PowerSchool to be sure they are completing their assignments on time and are not holding any incompletes. If you have not already made a parent account in PowerSchool and need help, please contact the school at 619-528-9070.

As we head towards the end of the quarter, we are excited to announce that HSHMC Spirit week is coming next week! Each day will have a spirited theme. We are excited to celebrate with our students and see what they come up with to join in the virtual fun. So that your children have time to be creative and plan, we wanted to share the themes now:

  • Monday – Proud to be a Surgeon Day (Wear Surgeon Gear, Facemasks, Scrubs)
  • Tuesday – Tacky Tourist Tuesday (Hawaiian Shirts, Nerd Attire, Mismatch)
  • Wednesday – Wacky Hat Wednesday (Baseball Caps, Beanies, Fedoras, Bucket Hats, etc)
  • Thursday – Throwback Thursday (Roaring 20’s, 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s 90’s, early 2000’s)
  • Friday – Freaky Friday (Wear Halloween Makeup, Masks, Costumes, etc)

Another reminder – if you have not already submitted the Free or Reduced Lunch Application that is located under “Forms” on your PowerSchool account, please do so now. It is important that we have an application on file for every student, even if you don’t think your child qualifies. If you need help filling out the form, please call the school at 619-528-9070 and we can help you fill out the form.

If you have questions, or just want to touch base, I am holding Principal’s Office Hours via Zoom at 9:00 am on Tuesday and Thursday this week. The Zoom link is available on our website. I can also be reached by email anytime at sjohnson@hshmc.org.
