Greetings Bulls, 

Spring Break is just five days away! Enjoy the time with your children and the change of seasons. A break from the routine often helps us refocus our priorities and reminds us to be thankful for all we have even though many of our HCMS community members are managing challenges. Please know the staff at HCMS are eager to support our students. We love each one of them and want to help them build life skills along with academic readiness. Please reach out to our counselors and/ or teachers if you think they may need to be aware of a concern impacting your child during the school day - sometimes insight into things affecting our students can make a world of difference in supporting them through the school day.

Go Bulls!

Natalie Smith
