SHOUTOUTS FROM MR. TERRY!!!

We appreciate our parents who generously volunteer their time to support our school community! Whether you're passing out flyers or serving on a committee, your contributions are truly appreciated.  Kudos goes out to our parents who participated in the Rites of Passage Ceremony at Bateman Hall last week.  Both you and your student’s presence was greatly appreciated!  Finally, I wanted to give a huge shout out to our parents for supporting their students during this school year.  Without your partnership, we could not have met so many goals.  Thank you! Thank you!

IMMIGRATION RESOURCES

Due to the recent ICE activity this past weekend, please remember that our district has put together a resource page on its website to support families who may have questions about Immigration.  Please use this link to access this resource.  LINK

AFTER SCHOOL & DRIVING SAFETY

In order to support a safe school community for everyone, please make sure your student(s) goes directly home or to an agreed safe location after school.  We ask that your student(s) not loiter in the park or any other areas in the city.  Also, this is a friendly reminder to help our school maintain a safe environment before and after school, please be mindful of your surroundings as you drop off and pick up your child(ren).  Driving safely at all times keeps everyone in the HMS Community and beyond safe.  

8th GRADE PROMOTION UPDATE

The Promotion Ceremony will take place on June 11, 2025 at Lynwood High School, Imperial Campus at 9am.  Please make sure your student arrives at 7:30am so our staff can prepare the students for the ceremony.  For additional information, such as dress code and additional tickets, please refer to the messages that Ms. Camacho sent.

PRIDE MONTH

June is recognized as Pride Month, a time to honor and celebrate the identities and contributions of the LGBTQ+ community. At HMS, we are committed to fostering a safe, inclusive environment where all students feel valued and respected. Thank you for supporting our efforts to build a welcoming school community for everyone.
