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!

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.
