Students are bringing home Puyallup Fair Tickets for this weekend, today. If you don't have weekend plans, we hope you will consider this!
We apologize for those of you who are excusing your student's absences, and still receiving our attendance auto-dialer messages and texts. We are trying to get this resolved. If you have excused your student prior to the message, please disregard the autodialer/text. We will update you as soon as we get this fixed. Thank you!
This Friday, HMS will be conducting grade checks for students in athletics. If you have a student in athletics, we are asking them to ensure that they are caught up in their classes. Students who are not will be assigned study table.
Todays Soccer match with Tumwater Middle School scheduled for 4:00 at Emerson has been cancelled. Tumwater cannot get a bus. We are sorry for the late notice. Practice at 3:00 as normal.

HMS Open House Information: Parents, you are invited to come to our open house on Thursday, September 15. The event will run from 5-7 p.m. and offers you a chance to speak with your student's teachers. It is an open format, so you may speak with your teachers in any order. Calendar information, and contact information will also be available. We look forward to seeing you!
There has been a change in the football schedule this week. Our game on Wednesday will not be at Bush MS, but now will be at Miller Jr. High. A shorter drive, at least! Kickoff is scheduled for 5:00 p.m.

Week at a Glance for next week:
Some highlights:
Sports begin competition with all three in action!
First Friday Early Release of the year (1:50 @ HMS).
Students and Parents: We were informed that the After School Program will not begin until October. There is apparently some retooling going on in the program. It was originally set to begin next week. There will be no After School Program until further notice. We are sorry for the inconvenience. Please call the office if you have further questions, and stay tuned for updates!
Open House Change of Date--HMS is moving its open house from Thursday, September 8 to Thursday September 15. This is due largely to the fact that we didn't want to compete with a varsity Football game also scheduled for that evening. It created conflicting events for some of our parents and staff. We are sorry for the last minute change. If you have questions, please call our office at 360-538-8220.
