HMS Team Spirit Wear - order by 10/6:

• We LOVE our middle school communities!! You will see an email communication soon from one of your child’s team teachers, sharing that we are offering HMS Team shirts again this year - designed by the team! Throughout the year, teams will hold spirit days to bring our students and staff together and to celebrate our team spirit! The purchase of team spirit wear is encouraged, but optional.
  
  

• This link will take you to our Hudson Middle School sale, where you can then click on your child’s specific grade level team to view the selections and/or make a purchase. (The email from your child's team will have the DIRECT link to their team's shirt). Orders are due by Friday, October 6, and shirts will be delivered to your child at school. 
  
  

• If you have any questions or need support purchasing a t-shirt, please contact your child’s team teacher named in the team email, or your child’s school counselor; they can help.
  
  

Profits from this sale will benefit your child’s team directly, providing for team activities throughout the school year.

Bullying Prevention Month - October:

• In Advisory sessions throughout October, which is Bullying Prevention Month, our lesson goals will include:

  • Learn about Bullying Prevention (that we CAN make a difference!)

  • Spread kindness, inclusion, and acceptance 

  • Promote a sense of belonging for all of our students

• Click here to preview our October 2023 HMS Advisory lessons.

• Incident Reporting App: We also continue to highlight the Incident Reporting app on each student’s iPad - we introduced this to students in March last year during our “Words Matter” presentations. This app is one additional, new way students can report a concern to us. We are grateful to our students for sharing when they see a concerning behavior, so that we can help. 

• Other avenues students (and families) can report concerns are: reaching out to a trusted adult in person or via email, utilizing the Safe Schools helpline, or visiting the Bullying Information page on our district website and submitting an Incident Report. 

• We love and care for our students, and we let them know that every report is thoroughly investigated so that we can help. 

 

A Note from the Attendance Desk:

• Please send your child with a note, to the attendance desk in the main office, if they will be leaving for an appointment during the school day. This is the most efficient and least disruptive method (rather than emailing a teacher) to alert the attendance office. It also gives us the ability to remind students to leave class 5 minutes before their departure time to start the sign out process in the office, which helps limit disruptions to classrooms to call a student down. Thank you so much for your assistance, Tammy Brodbeck (HMS Attendance Secretary)

 

Hands of Gratitude Sponsorship:

• To maintain this life-changing Hands of Gratitude program that is part of our Service Learning Course at Hudson Middle School, we sincerely appreciate your support! If you know of a person or organization who may be interested in supporting this program at our school, please feel free to pass this on: HMS Hands of Gratitude Sponsorship Opportunities! Our students are making a difference!
