π£ Parents/Guardians,
We are excited to announce that the construction of our new middle school is officially starting! Work will begin on September 3rd, with the installation of fencing marking the construction zone. ππ₯³
Please note that, due to the fencing, students will not be able to walk across the football field or next to HES. To ensure their safety, your child will need to use alternative routes to enter HMS. The attached diagram outlines the fenced area with a blue line and alternative pathways with black arrows.
Safety remains a top priority for both HMS and APS. All emergency exits will remain accessible, and in case of an emergency, the red arrows on the diagram indicate the designated exit routes for students.
While the sudden change may present some initial challenges, we are pleased to share some exciting new additions. The blue area on the diagram will be transformed into a new outdoor recess space for HMS students. This area will feature basketball half-courts, tetherball, shaded benches and chairs, and sand volleyball!
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we embark on this exciting phase of our school's development.

Good afternoon Parents, Students and Faculty,
We are pleased to inform you that our students have recently completed the COGNIA Beginning-of-Year (BOY) assessments in reading, math, and language usage. These assessments are an essential part of our academic program and provide valuable insights into each student's progress and areas for growth. Our dedicated teachers are now focused on analyzing the data to tailor instruction and support to best meet each student's needs.
In addition to academic updates, we are excited to announce that our football and volleyball seasons will be in full swing starting next week. These are fantastic opportunities for our students to showcase their talents and hard work. We encourage all parents to purchase tickets online to support our Falcon athletes. The link is located on our newsletter. Your enthusiasm and presence make a significant difference in boosting our students' spirits and performance.
Thank you for your continued support and involvement in our school community. We look forward to seeing you at the games and celebrating the achievements of our students together!
