Message from Principal Mills
Hello parents, families and friends of Harding Middle School. I hope each of you are getting excited as we approach Spring Break. I know the kids are, and probably some teachers too! Spring break this year starts Monday, April 15 and school will resume on Tuesday, April 23.
First order of business: On Wednesday, April 3rd the Stallion Trot, parent information meeting, will be held in the HMS café at 8:30 am. This is not a mandatory meeting, but the HMS administration staff will be available to answer any questions you may have about scheduling your child for the 2019-20 school year. This meeting is for parents of students that are currently enrolled in the 4th – 7th grade. Our high school team will be at the middle school on May 14th to schedule the 8th graders.
Our 4th grade social, Making Memories in the Middle, will be held on Wednesday, April 3rd from 6-8pm. Any upcoming 5th grade and potential new Harding students are invited with their family to attend the social. This will serve as a day to meet the Harding Staff and students from the other elementary buildings. Free food, t-shirts, prizes and more will be passed out to our upcoming Stallions!!! Also, we will have a mini orientation, play games and hear from current staff and students about the programs offered at HMS!!! Hope to see many of you there.
Testing continues at HMS. Your child has been working hard on the ELA state test recently and we will finish this portion up on the 12th of April. Also, the window for Math, Science and SS opens on this day and will close on Friday, May 10th to wrap up testing for the year. Please emphasize to your children the importance of doing their very best when taking these tests. Make sure they get plenty of rest and a healthy breakfast daily. We encourage parents to help us keep the kids focused on their goals as we push through the end of the year.
I’d like to wish our Stallion track team the best of luck this season. They are off to an amazing start this year and we look forward to cheering them on to the end!!! Go Stallions!!
We have a lot of work still to do with minimal time left in the school year to accomplish it. Let’s work hard, stay focused on the goal, and finish this school year Stallion Strong!!!
Enjoy the newsletter and thank you for your constant support!
If you would like to contact me, my e-mail address is bmills@rollred.org. You can also reach me by phone at Harding Middle School, (740) 282-3481 ext. 4128
Sincerely,
Principal Bryan Mills
