HMS Families: Students are bringing home a letter detailing an incident that occured this week. Please take a moment to read it, speak with your student about it, and should you have questions or concerns, please call Mr. Cook at 360-538-8225. Thank you.

HMS Families: Today HMS entered into a modified lockdown for about an hour due to a concern about an individual in the area passed on to us from the high school. Students were in class as normal, and restricted indoors during the duration of the modified lockdown. Staff monitored doorways, and were alert to any people in the vicinity of the school. While there was no evidence of any direct threat to our school, we believe it was in the best interest of our students and staff to take the additional precautions. Please feel free to call the office with questions: 360.538.8220

HMS Families: A couple of misprints on the Week at a Glance: On Monday it shows that 7th Girls Basketball is in action twice. The 7th Varsity plays at Elma at 4:00, while the 7th JV plays Montesano here at 5:15. Also on Friday, the Assembly is at 12:45, not 1:45.

HMS Cheer and Boys Basketball families: Students interested in Boys Basketball and Cheer need to make sure they are cleared through Final Forms prior to the first practice which is scheduled for January 2.

HMS Girls Basketball ...okay...this rescheduled game is going to be the death of me! The 8th grade JV game tomorrow will immediately follow the 7th grade JV game (which starts at 4:30). It was posted earlier by some cotton headed ninnymuggins that the 8th grade JV game started at 6:30. That was incorrect. He has been stripped of all social media posting duties and it will now be done by his secretary...we apologize for the confusion

HMS Girls Basketball: Okay....we have another change for the game originally scheduled for December 7. Montesano was okay with us moving the game as it clashed with our 6th grade trip to Seattle. It was moved to Wednesday, November 29. However due to lack of available officials, we have now settled on tomorrow...TUESDAY NOVEMBER 28. Game times will be: 7th JV at 4:30, and 8th JV at 6:30 pm. Will keep you apprised of any future changes.

HMS Girls Basketball: The games scheduled for Thursday, December 7 have been moved to THIS Wednesday, November 29, due to conflicts with the upcoming field trip to Seattle for the Nutcracker. Game times will be 7th JV at 4:00 (H) Montesano, and 8th JV at 5:15.

HMS 6th Grade Band parents: The Hoquiam H.S. Music Department is sponsoring a 6th Grade "Band Buddies" Night on Nov. 29th!. This is a REQUIRED EVENT for 6th Grade Band Students. High School Band Students (supervised by Ms. Peters) will be down at the Middle School from 5pm to 7:30pm for a TON OF FUN playing experience with the 6th Grade Beginning Band that night. This form DOES need to be completed and returned to HMS by Tuesday, Nov. 28.

HMS Families: Enjoy your long weekend. Here is the Week at a Glance for next week. Oddly enough, no basketball games, but two wrestling matches, and an opportunity for some music and food for 6th grade band members to hang out with their Grizzly band counterparts on Wednesday. Happy Thanksgiving!
