Our Student Leadership Team is excited to share that HMS will be hosting a dance on Friday, December 6 from 6:30-8pm, and all HMS students are invited to join in the fun.  We will emphasize the following student expectations for this upcoming dance:

-Students attending the dance must arrive within 15 minutes of the start time (by 6:45pm), unless prior arrangements have been made.

-HMS dances are a "come as you are" event. Students may wear whatever attire feels comfortable and meets our dress expectations outlined in the student handbook. Students should not feel the need to "dress up" for our dances.

-To keep students safe, students 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 are 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. Students may bring a reusable water bottle as long as it is empty when they arrive. Cups for water will also be available.

-Our 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 in the Main Office.  Items such as single-serving pretzels, goldfish crackers, etc. would be appreciated.
