At Hudson Middle School, we calculate Honor Rolls for Semester 1 and Semester 2.
Campus Traffic Safety:
-
Our students have been instructed that, if they are walking home or to an after school event, they should exercise extreme caution when crossing an intersection and at crosswalks. This week, we had a report of a concern at the driveway entrance/exit from the middle school to Oviatt Street.
-
We are asking drivers to drive slowly and cautiously through our campus, alert for students who may be walking.
-
Thank you for keeping everyone safe!
2023-24 HMS Yearbook - Student Name
-
In our school yearbook, student names are typically printed as they appear on their birth certificate.
-
If the birth certificate name is OK to print for your child, you do not need to complete the form.
-
If you prefer that a different name appear in the yearbook for your child, please complete this Google Form by March 8 (for example, if your child is known by their middle name rather than their first name).
-
Thank you for your help with this as we create a book for our students that commemorates our school year together!

March Kindness Month
-
Throughout the entire month of March, our focus will be on kindness, empathy, and belonging which are themes of the book New Kid, by author and illustrator Jerry Craft, who will be visiting our school on March 19! Of course, our goal is that every month is kindness month at HMS! :-)
-
Check out our March Kindness Month schedule of events, including kindness-themed lesson plans for Team Advisory, themed dress-up days for Right to Read Week, and a day of reading/activities with New Kid on Empathetic Contributor Day (Friday, March 15) in preparation for the author visit.
-
A HUGE THANK YOU to our donors (including PTO, Kiwanis, Hudson League for Service, and the Maltz Museum) for grant funding to provide a copy of the book for EACH student! For graphic novels, this is especially important so students can interpret meaning from the text as well as the images. Students may then choose to donate their copy back to the school to benefit future students.
