My thoughts and prayers are with those of you who have experienced terrible losses, those who have been evacuated or displaced, those who have yet to have their utilities resume, and those who simply are saddened by the fact that our lives will be forever changed by this period of disaster.
In this time of loss, anxiety, uncertainty, and need, it is more important than ever for us to be "a village" for each other. If your family situation has changed (forced to move, took in displaced family or friends, etc.), please let me know, so I can better support your child.
School is set to resume on Monday (1/13) at 9:30 a.m. I don't have a schedule from administration yet, but I'm assuming the students will report to homeroom. I'll look forward to seeing everyone and being together to reestablish routines and to offer support!
Sending big hugs and prayers to all my awesome students, their families, and our community!

Welcome to HMS! 🦊 ❤️
What a great first day!!!
Parents: Although students were attentive listeners, they may come home feeling overwhelmed with the amount of information provided today. Please reassure your child that teachers will review procedures repeatedly over the next few weeks. Encourage your child to ask questions and seek help when needed. My goal is for all students to feel safe and comfortable in their new learning environment. I am already impressed with this group of 6th graders, and I know it will be a rewarding, positive, and successful year for all!
Also, many thanks to those families who provided tissue paper and disinfectant wipes for our classroom! We appreciate your donations very much! :)
