PARENT INFORMATION

SPIRIT T-SHIRT DAY

Grade level Spirit T-Shirts are available for purchase in the Student Store for $10 each.  Proceeds from the sales benefit the ASB fund.  Each grade level wears a specific color t-shirt (6th: white, “Super Six”; 7th: light blue, “Stuck in the Middle”; 8th: dark blue, “Respect Your Elders”).  Starting on Wednesday (and twice a month for the rest of the school year), students will be asked to show their school spirit by wearing their grade level t-shirts.  Each time the student wears their t-shirt on an assigned day, they will receive a raffle ticket to put into a box in Student Services for various prizes. 

 

MAGAZINE DRIVE/COOKIE DOUGH TURN IN

This year there is only ONE turn in date – THIS THURSDAY before school.  This is our only all school fundraiser for the year.  All earnings from the event go to the ASB fund in support of athletic uniforms and equipment, music festival entry fees, assembly speakers, after school clubs and activities (including intramural sports), grade level celebrations, the spring musical, student awards and incentives, and MUCH, MUCH more!!  If each student sells just three orders, we will easily reach our $40,000 sales goal!  Your support of HPMS is greatly appreciated.

NATIONAL JUNIOR HONOR SOCIETY

National Junior Honor Society recognizes students in grades seven and eight.  At HP, students are recognized and invited to join NJHS if their third trimester GPA in 6th or 7th grade is a 3.85.  Students must maintain this GPA to remain in NJHS.   Our Harbor Pointe chapter focuses on community service while giving special notice to the student’s academic achievements. NJHS letters will be going out to perspective students the first part of October.  Any questions should be addressed to Mrs. DeKlyen or Mrs. Riccardo, Co-Advisors.

 

8th GRADE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE WASHINGTON D.C. AND NYC

From Mrs. Riccardo:  Any 8th grader interested in going to the East Coast over our upcoming Spring Break?  There will be a NON-SCHOOL SPONSORED opportunity for our graduating class to see Washington DC and New York City, through the very well known EF Smithsonian Student Travel.  Brochures will be handed out through the 8th grade Humanities classes.  Any parent who would like more specific information, please contact Mrs. Riccardo.   Stay tuned for an informational meeting the first part of October.
