Parents,

If you are moving over the summer and will still be in the Houston County School District, we encourage you to make changes with Central Registration in June. Once you've moved, go online to www.hcbe.net/centralregistration. There, you will find the Change of Address form and the documentation needed to make the change. You don't want to wait until the last minute, as Central Registration gets very busy in July.

Also, if you are on an Affidavit of Residency or Kinship Caregiver Affidavit, you must renew those before school starts on July 31 to ensure your child will have a line of enrollment for the 24-25 school year.

For questions and contact information, please visit www.hcbe.net/centralregistration.

This week teachers traveled around the world, so today, it was time to come home. The welcome back feast was a true delight. Thank you to the Mentors and Omega Fraternity who sponsored the fish fry. As always, thank you to the members of Carson's Cafe and anyone else who had a hand in the making of the meal.

Thank you, TEACHERS, for everything you do EVERY DAY to make sure that the students at HMS are successful!

On Thursday, teachers were treated to a taste of Italy. Choices included shrimp scampi, baked spaghetti, and Tuscan chicken penne pasta. It was all scrumptious, and the scenery was beautiful and relaxing. Thank you to all of the hands that prepared the meal as well as those that helped make it possible!

Hawaii was the destination today for Teacher Appreciation. Teachers enjoyed delicacies from the island and even dressed for the occasion! Thank you so much to Pediatric Associates, Rodney Johnson, McCarthy Spann, Mr. Foreman, Frito Lay, Mr. Hawk and Ms. Huntington, ABC Catering, and our dedicated lunch staff.

HMS teachers are "Nacho Average Teachers" as they landed in their next destination of Cancun, Mexico. Here they enjoyed a delicious nacho bar for lunch provided by Bonaire Church! Thank you for the delightful meal!

For Teacher Appreciation week, teachers received their boarding passes for a trip around the world. They started off with brunch in Paris, France. Ooh la la......What a brunch it was! Thank you much to the staff of Carson's Cafe: Coach Carson, Zaida Carson, Mrs. Clark, Mrs. Clark-Lee, Mrs. Durham and Staff, Mrs. Gibson, Mr. Johnson, Ms. Reynolds, and Mrs. Caldwell-Johnson.

We extend our sincerest appreciation to Mrs. Ford and the esteemed members of the HMS FFA chapter for their exemplary dedication and effort in arranging the exquisite floral decorations for the county retirement dinner. The plants served as a splendid centerpiece, enhancing the ambiance of the event and leaving a lasting impression on all attendees.

Thank you, Mrs. Ford and HMS FFA, for your invaluable contribution.

With 17 school days left in the year, testing season is here! Below are some tips for parents and students to help prepare for exams.

😴 Rest: A good night’s sleep each night before testing is vital.

🍏 Breakfast: Eat a good meal at home or take advantage meals at school.

💌 Encouragement: Parents, pump your kids up by beginning their day with an encouraging word or note. Let your child you know believe in them.
