Students, please remember to put a label on your Chromebook with your first and last name. They all look the same and yours can easily be picked up by another student on accident. You can use a sticky note or a removable sticker or piece of tape. This will be your Chromebook until you turn it in at the end of 8th grade. Some of my past students have purchased a padded sleeve/cover to carry it from home to school. Looking on Amazon, there are many options that can be purchased for around $10 - $12. Also, please remember not to place heavy items on top of your Chromebook to avoid damaging the circuit board and/or screen. Thank you so much for taking care of this valuable school resource!

Happy First Day of School! 🦊
Welcome to HMS! What a great start we've had! Although you were an attentive listener, you may feel a bit overwhelmed with the amount of information given to you today. Teachers will review procedures multiple times over the coming weeks to ensure clarity and understanding. I encourage you to ask questions and seek help when needed. My goal is for students to feel safe and comfortable in their new learning environment. I am confident this will be a rewarding, productive, and successful year for all!
Today, we reviewed school supplies and what materials you will need for class each day. As a reminder, please bring the following every day:
1. 1.5 inch 3-ring "View" binder
2. Binder Reminder
3. pencil bag/box with supplies (please have all supplies by Monday, August 18th)
4. school-issued Chromebook (you will receive yours tomorrow!)
5. water bottle (optional)
Please leave other items in your locker or at home. Starting on Monday, backpacks will not be allowed in the classroom per school policy. However, students have the option to bring a small drawstring sport/gym bag to the classroom.
HOMEWORK
1. Complete the "Back to School" online survey (Google Form). It was emailed to your student email account. Always use your school email account when completing school assignments.
2. Finish the "Who is Mrs. Brunner?" peach questionnaire.
3. Begin gathering school supplies. Today, you received a list of supplies (yellow handout) with a list of supplies that are needed in our class. The list was also emailed to you and your parents earlier this week. It is posted below for your convenience. Please have supplies by Monday, August 18th. Thank you to those who donated Kleenex and cleaning wipes today! It is very much appreciated!
Reminders
Please remember that students are not allowed in school hallways
prior to the 8:00 a.m. bell. Thank you so much for your cooperation!
