Principal's Message (January 23)

  • It's cold outside! Check your child's clothes before they leave the house. Students should be dressed warmly and in layers so they can adjust to be comfortable!

  • Are your kids up to date on all their vaccines?
    Vaccines are safe and effective in protecting children against a variety of potentially dangerous infectious diseases. The Alabama Chapter-American Academy of Pediatrics (AL-AAP) and the Alabama Department of Public Health encourage parents to keep their children and teens healthy by ensuring they receive vaccines according to the recommended schedule. Vaccines are important as they help children's immune systems fight infections.
  • Attendance!  We need our students at school to learn and to comply with the state's attendance law. Please email Ms. Chambers, hcms.attendance@hsv-k12.org, with a reason or doctor's note if your child is absent. Thanks for helping us make sure your child's attendance record is accurate! 
  • Soccer Tryouts!  Don't forget that the second day of soccer tryouts for anyone that missed the first day, is Tuesday January 24, 2023 at 4:00 at HCMS. Athletes need a current physical, water bottle, and tennis shoes. Email Coach Gregory with any questions, chris@loringjewelers.com
  • Looking for a way to donate and support HCMS? We are starting boys and girls soccer teams this year and we could use your help fundraising for uniforms and equipment. 

Greetings Bulls, 

There are so many community members that provide additional opportunities beyond the school day for our children to participate in. These extra-curricular activities are where so many life lessons are learned, that simply can't be taught in the classroom. Please take a moment to thank our coaches and club sponsors with me. We are about to wrap up basketball (Thank you Coach Williams, Coach Bellomy, Coach Costa, and Coach Owings) and move into track and soccer (Thank you in advance Coach Putzier, Coach Costa, Coach Owings, Coach Redpath, and Coach Gregory).  We cannot forget our club sponsors as well (Thanks Ms. Linker, Ms. Stephens, Ms. Snider, Mr. Johnson, Ms. Sebghati, Ms. Wilson, Ms. Augustin, Mr. Whitaker). The time and effort you all devote truly shapes our students. We all owe you a debt of gratitude. 

Natalie Smith
Go Bulls!
