Back to School Day

8/8/2025 11:59 pm

If you missed Back to School Day last week, HMS will also be open on Monday, August 18th, from 4-6 PM. Please note that the PTO will not be available during these alternative times, but students and parents can still access lockers and practice walking their schedules. You can also pick up your schedule and locker assignment there or print it from Skyward. If you missed the Parent Survival Guide handout last week at the event, you can access it HERE.

We'd also like to give a huge Spartan THANK YOU to our PTO parent volunteers & HMS staff who made Back to School Day a success! We appreciate our 8th grade volunteers giving tours during our 6th grade session, too. It was great to see everyone excited for a new school year!

Show your Spartan pride in style! HMS spirit wear is here — comfy, stylish, and perfect for wearing at school, lounging at home, or simply showing your colors around town. Every purchase helps support our students and school programs through the PTO, so it’s a win-win!

If you didn't find your size or exactly what you were looking for at Back to School Day last week or prefer to order with a credit card, the online store can be found HERE. Your spirit wear will be delivered to your classroom by mid September. The link will be live from August 12 - September 5.

Let’s show everyone what Spartan pride really looks like!

Annual Families Helping Families Donations Request

8/8/2025 10:03 pm

The PTO Families Helping Families (FHF) Committee has been working with the HMS Social Work Department to support HMS families who need a helping hand. Our mission is to ensure every student has the support they need to thrive at HMS. Your donation will help provide basic items such as school supplies, clothing, furniture, and gift cards. To ensure confidentiality and preserve students' and families' privacy and dignity, all referrals must go through the social workers. We need your support! FHF is completely self-funded and relies solely on the generosity of our HMS community. 100% of your donations fund FHF to assist families who require immediate support while waiting for other resources/programs in the community to be approved.

You can donate via Zelle at treasurer@hmspto.org (memo FHF donation) or a written check to HMS PTO (memo FHF donation) dropped at the main office. If you are interested in joining FHF or staying on (all communications and work done exclusively via email), email FHF chair, Denys Kang, at fhf@hmspto.org. Thanks for your support!
