We are working to get back on track and are well into the third quarter of the school year. Please look for schedule updates as we adjust from our time away from school and prepare for the rest of the school year. Above all, keep reading! Before March 10th, be sure to visit the Downing Gross Cultural Arts Center and see all of the wonderful artwork on display from our HMS and NNPS students. Also, remember to “Spring Forward” and set your clocks ahead one hour before you go to bed on March 7th. During the third week of March, our eighth graders will take their multiple choice and direct writing English SOL test. They have worked hard to prepare and are excited about the opportunity to show what they have learned. As we journey through the school year, we are reminded that our work is more complex than just academics. We continue to engage students in active learning opportunities and through our Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) program, we are helping students develop appropriate social skills. Included below is a brief excerpt from an article on the topic of social skills. Please take some time to access and read the full one-page article. It contains invaluable information as we work together and take a “whole child” approach to the education of your children. Here is to a March full of Active Learning Madness! Sincerely, Dr. Corbin-Staton Please remember to sign in in the main office. Middle School Tidbit: Excerpt from Social Skills and School Age Children by J.P. Krehbiel Thank you! It is important that schools and behavioral health professionals establish programs that promote social skills training. Topics include: HMS Spartans are: Safe Responsible Respectful & Positive How to get to know others by asking leading questions of interest, i.e. Where do you live? What activities do you like? Do you have brothers and/or sisters? How to quit being "the rule police" by not manipulating and controlling others. How to listen for feelings to determine if a friend needs emotional support. How to learn to respect different cultures, values and opinions. How to manage conflict and cope with anger. How to learn to comply with positive social group rules. How to handle social rejection. How to learn to give peers personal space when they desire it.

Krehbiel is an author, contributing writer for www.familyresource.com, and a cognitive-behavioral therapist practicing in Scottsdale, Arizona. He can be reached at krehbielcounseling.com Methods of Communication HMS Agenda Use of the HMS agenda is required and serves as the primary method of communication between home/school and school/home. Student homework and notes to and from your child’s teacher can be written in it daily. Family members are expected to check the agenda each night. This year agendas are provided to all students. Replacement agendas will cost $5. Connect 5 Connect 5 is the system that makes computerized phone calls to families about important events. Please provide regular updates of your email addresses, home and cell numbers to the main office so that you will receive Connect 5 communication. Conferences Face-to-face meetings are requested by families and by the school. In addition to an individual meeting with your child’s teacher, conferences are a great way to assemble a group of people to discuss your child’s successes or areas of concern. Contact your child’s teacher, counselor, or administrator to request a conference. E-mail E-mail is an efficient way to communicate about your child’s academic performance or for other reasons. Please allow 24 hours for a return e-mail from your child’s teacher/school staff. HMS Facebook Site Sign-up (a link is on our website) to like us on Facebook and receive updates and information about Hines! Letters/Post Cards Letters and post cards are additional ways a teacher or school staff might communicate about a student’s good behavior, academics, or citizenship. Letters from Hines will be sent home throughout the school year. Current addresses are requested; postage costs for undeliverable or returned mail add up! ParentVue ParentVue replaces Parent Assist. Please sign up for this valuable tool in keeping up with your child success. See page 3 of this newsletter for more information. Telephone Calls We have telephones in our classrooms. When you call to speak with your child’s teacher, you will be transferred to that teacher’s voice mail or a secretary will take a message and give it to the teacher. Please allow 24-48 hours for a return phone call.
