HMS Parents: Earlier this week, we sent out a QR Code for a CEE survey for parents. I received some communications that QR Codes are awkward and clunky, and tough for some to deal with. They want the links, dadgummit!!! Well, I think this will get you there...I hope. Thank you for sharing your feedback, and the patience to let me sort this out!

HMS is participating in the Washington State Healthy Youth Survey on October 27. The survey will be given to students in Grades 6, 7, 8, and at the high school. The Healthy Youth Survey includes questions related to physical activity, unintentional and intentional injury, substance use, interpersonal relationships, school experiences, risk and protective factors, and access to school-based services. Survey results are used by schools, communities, and State agencies to plan programs to support our youth and reduce their risks. Participation in the survey is voluntary and steps are taken to ensure student privacy. There are no names or codes used to link a survey back to a student. Please read the attached Information for Parents/Guardians and Youth Letter for more information about the Healthy Youth Survey.

HMS Families: As Lee Corso used to say on College Gameday..."Not so fast, my friend!" Girls Basketball and Boys and Girls Wrestling was advertised to start on October 20. That has now been moved to October 27. Sorry for any inconvenience this causes...but it gives you another week to get paperwork done on Final Forms!!!
The 8th grade football team finished their season Thursday night by beating Elma 21-12 and going unbeaten for the season! The game was played under the lights at Olympic Stadium with Mr Ihde announcing... a taste of Friday Nights! Great job Cubs!

Next Friday, HHS is hosting a celebration for Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead. This is a holiday is celebrated throughout much of the Spanish speaking world, and this is a time to learn more about the traditions and culture around it, as well as participate yourself if you are so inclined. Please see the attached information!
HMS Families: Updated expectations for Home Games at Olympic Stadium. Students, the bottom line is that the Little League and Minor League Fields are no longer available during the game. The Middle School Student Section is right next to the High School Student Section in the stands, or you can sit with parents. Please review these. Thank you!

HMS Families: Thursday is a "Pink Out" at school. Students are encouraged to wear as little or as much Pink as they can stomach. The high school will be dressing up for their home game Friday night, and we are doing our part to get those Cubbies ready for their time as Grizzlies. Since we don't have school on Friday, we will observe our Pink Out tomorrow!
