HMS Weekly 2-17-22

HMS FAMILIES:

Winter Break is now upon us. I hope everyone has a safe and relaxing four days.

Please take a moment to read over a few important updates and reminders.

We are pleased to announce our Spring 2022 Middle School Virtual Conference Schedule:

*Please note that we will have a modified early dismissal time on the conference days to accommodate the conference schedule. Therefore, students will be dismissed on March 30th and March 31st at 12:35pm.
Our spring conferences will be held virtually and parents/guardians will once again have the opportunity to select a conference time through My Conference Time.
Spring conference sign up information will be live on our school website from February 28 at 9:00 a.m. through March 25 at 12:00 pm . Quick tip: Look for emails from “noreply@myconferencetime.com” when searching email for conference confirmation communications.

We are pleased to announce that Kindergarten Registration for the 2022-2023 school year will take place during February and March.
If you have a child who will be starting Kindergarten in the fall, registration information will be posted to the district website www.milforded.org on February 22, 2022.

You must register your child for Kindergarten at the school determined by your street address, unless placed by Pupil Personnel Services. School/Street Assignments are available on the district website under “District Information.”

Students must be at least age five (5) on or before December 31, 2022, in order to register for Kindergarten.
Current MPS preschool or Ready To Learn students do not need to complete an online registration packet.
If you need assistance with the registration portal, please contact the main office for your district assigned school. School contact information can be found on the district website under “ Schools.”
We are excited for your children to come to our schools! Fully registered families, please be on the lookout for more information from your school’s Principal about an in person kindergarten event in the spring. In the meantime, click here for a sneak peek of what to expect in Kindergarten!
We look forward to welcoming the Class of 2035!

Due to the generosity of the HMS community, SIX large boxes full of food, treats and other supplies were delivered to Milford Animal Control yesterday.
Thank you to everyone who donated.

Yearbooks are on sale now for $27.
You can order your child's yearbook by clicking here Yearbook Order OR you can go to ybpay.lifetouch.com
You can select Harborside Middle School or enter our code 10453022 to place your order.

To report an absence, parents need to log into PowerSchool and click on “Forms” to enter an absence.
If you need to pick up your child early for an appointment, please come to the front door with your driver license as you will need to check in with the Greeter and sign out your child.

If the early pick-up is known prior to the start of school, please send in a note with your child in the morning to give to our Greeter, Mrs.Tilt, or email ktilt@milforded.org. Our Greeter will then give your child an early release pass to come to the lobby to make the pick up more efficient.
