HMS Parents and Students: If you are still having trouble getting into a doctor to get a physical, here is some information on a resource in Olympia. Thank you to Mr. Krohn for hunting this down. I posted about this earlier, but was told that the image didn't come through. Reposting the information.
Passed along from Mr. Krohn. If you still are looking for physicals please see the information below.
HMS Parents and Students: Thank you to Mr. Krohn who tracked down practice times for HMS sports! Beginning Monday, August 21, Football will practice from 3:30-5:30 at the practice field at HMS. Soccer will practice from 3:00-5:00 pm at Emerson field, and Cross Country will practice from 10:00-11:00 a.m. Please make sure physicals are current and that forms are completed in Final Forms prior to the first practice!
HMS Parents and Students: A reminder that Football, Girls Soccer, and Cross-Country begin on Monday, August 21. Prior to their first practice all students must be cleared in Final Forms. Please make sure paperwork is completed and physicals are current otherwise your student cannot practice. Here is the link to Final Forms: https://hoquiam-wa.finalforms.com/ Football will be handing out gear on Friday, August 18 from 4:30-6:20, with a parent meeting following at 6;30 in the gym. Cross Country will begin practice on Monday the 21st. Participants are asked to be meet at the Middle School at 10:00 a.m.- Don't be late! This week's "Getting Ready" workouts for Cross Country have been sent out through Final Forms.
Parents/Guardians- The My Town Coalition is trying to collect information from the community regarding youth substance abuse in our community. On the attached flyers is a QR code that links to a survey. If you could please take a few minutes to do this, the information will be valuable to the coalition in looking at how to best direct their efforts. Thank you!
HMS Students and Parents: Alerting you to a basketball camp next week, free of charge! Check details in the picture!
HMS Parents and Students: A mid-summer reminder that if your student is planning on turning out for a fall sport (Football, Girls Soccer, Cross Country) and needs a physical, get those arranged ASAP. The local districts (Hoquiam and Aberdeen) are trying to get a low cost sports physical arranged, but there is no date set for that yet. Stay Tuned! Also, while the dog days of summer are here, please go into Final Forms and take care of any athletic forms you need to fill out so your student is ready to go on the first day of practice, which is August 21. There will be specific sports information later in the summer as I get it. Here is the link to Final Forms: https://hoquiam-wa.finalforms.com/. If you are new to the district or have a student participating in sports for the first time, you will need to set up an account (this is a one time deal, and will be good until they graduate from high school). We hope you are enjoying your summer!
Congratulations to our 4th Quarter/2nd Semester Honor Roll Students! Apologies for posting this so late...you have to hit the "Publish" button...which I apparently did not do last week.
We have an exciting opportunity for you to make a lasting impact on our local schools! The Hoquiam School District is forming a diverse and inclusive School District Bond Committee, and we want YOU to be a part of it!

HMS Parents & Students: Next week is Spring Spirit Week at HMS. Here is a rundown of the days:
Monday-June 5: Decade Day-Students can choose a decade (I'm rooting for the 1780's-love me some powdered wigs!) and they dress how they THINK people dressed in those decades.
