Description
🦊 Welcome to HMS, 6th graders! 🦊
 
I'm excited to meet you all! I can't wait to get to know you as individuals! This year, instead of starting school on campus, in a traditional classroom, our classroom will be online - yay! I'm hopeful that we will be able to be together live and in-person sometime this year. In the meantime, let's all try our best to be patient with each other, be flexible in our daily routines, and be open to new ways of learning. We've had plenty of practice already! Let's have a great year!
