HMS Dance: March 29, 2024
HMS is having a dance on March 29, 2024 from 6:30pm-8pm. We will emphasize the same student expectations for this upcoming dance:
-Students attending the dance must arrive within 15 minutes of the start time (by 6:45pm).
-To keep students safe, they will stay until the dance is over and be picked up by an adult or adult designee. If a student needs to be picked up before the end of the dance, a parental note and administrative permission is needed.
-All HMS student behavior expectations apply to the dance. Cell phone use is not permitted. The purpose is for students to socialize in person with those who are at the dance. Students are encouraged to leave their cell phones at home. If a student needs to keep a cell phone with them, the phone must remain in their coat pocket.
-Students will have no need for backpacks or water bottles. Please leave these at home. Cups for water will be provided.
-The Student Leadership Team is hoping that parents and guardians will provide individually packaged snacks for students to enjoy during the dance. If you are able to donate snack items, please drop them off next week (March 25-29). Items such as single-serving pretzels, goldfish crackers, etc. would be appreciated.

Young Author Camps are an incredible opportunity for young writers. Dynamic, engaging writing experiences, facilitated by experienced, passionate teachers. Students explore a wide array of genres and develop their skills through playful exploration, guided practice, and even some art to enhance the writing experience.
