GOOD AFTERNOON HMS FAMILIES:
Happy Friday! This weekend’s “Celebration Days” include: National Armed Forces and Visit Your Relatives Day (May 18th), and also National Pizza Party Day (May 19th). What a great combination of festivities to observe!
This week we introduced our incoming sixth graders to middle school, and wrapped up our SBA testing, all while we enjoyed the final Spirit Week of the year. We hope you can get out from behind your screens this weekend and enjoy some fresh air with (fingers-crossed) the absence of rain.
Please take a moment to review a few important updates and reminders.

Drop-off/Pick-up Area Part Two - Please see below regarding our side parking lot.
Drop-off/Pick-up area -
Please know that we recently placed a “Student Pick-up/Drop-off Begins Here” sign up at the top loop.
Parents/Guardians are asked to pull up as close to the sign as possible before having their child(ren) exit the vehicle. When parents/guardians/family members are not moving up, the street gets backed up and causes traffic at the intersection.
As a reminder, the bus loop directly in front of the school is to be used only for buses between 7:40 AM and 8:00 AM.
Students are not to be dropped off using the bus loop prior to 8:00 AM.
Temporary exceptions will be made on an emergency basis and cleared through the nurse’s office.
MPS Online Library Catalog (Destiny Discover) -
Parents/Guardians can now access the district's Online Library Catalog using Destiny Discover.
