Highland Hills Middle School Afternoon Announcement for Friday, August 13, 2021

We will have some late buses today due to an accident in Floyds Knobs.  An All Call went out from Mr. Briscoe about FKE students being late.  Those buses will have to deliver their students before coming to HHMS.  Thanks for your patience!

  • We have had several positive cases that we have been contact tracing today.  We are calling parents as soon as we can and may need to make additional calls this weekend.  Thank you for your patience.

 

  • If you have a household member that has Covid-like symptoms or waiting on a Covid test, please have students quarantine.  They should  NOT be at school or participate in after school activities.

 

  • Here is the link to the Open House list for videos from the 7th/8th Grade Teachers for you to view at your convenience this afternoon/evening.

 

 

 

  • Masks will be mandated INSIDE the school building starting today due to the increasing numbers of positive Covid cases throughout the county.

 

 

  • Just a reminder, students riding to/from school on a bus must wear a mask due to the federal mandate.  Thank you for your support and cooperation.  We want to keep everyone safe.

 

  • Morning Car Riders that arrive at HHMS @ 8:30am or later, please use the back car rider line.  Thank you!

 

 

  • There are a limited number of 2020-21 yearbooks available for purchase. They can be purchased from Ms. Benning’s Room, which is Room A-253. Please bring $40 exact change or a check made out to HHMS.

 

Athletics Announcements (We also have an athletic bulletin board located in the Commons near the pool)

  • Students trying out for any athletics should have a complete 2021 physical on file that is dated after April 1.

  • 8th grade Boys Basketball ~  will have “Open Gym” from 5:30 – 7:00pm starting on Thursday, August 19th and then every Thursday until Fall Break.

  • There is information about Girls Basketball Mini League in the lobby between the two sets of glass doors.

Clubs (We have a club bulletin board located in the Commons near the Cafe’)

  • Campus Life for 5-8th grades will begin Friday, August 20 and meet every Friday after school until 5:00pm in the cafeteria. Campus Life is a positive place where students can have fun with friends, talk about relevant issues, and be heard without judgment. It’s a place where you will be challenged to make good decisions and lead in a positive way here at HHMS.

 

Good luck to any of our Jaguars that perform or play this evening.

Remember that there are three things that YOU can control: your attitude, your actions, and your effort.  Give it your best!  Have a great afternoon.
