NEWS IN THE
MIDDLE
EDUCATE - MOTIVATE - INSPIRE


Dear HMS Families, 

As another year comes to a close, it is time to say goodbye to our 8th grade students and wish them well at Big Red next year. This is a time of not only remembering happy times but also a time to reflect on what you accomplished this past year. Did you meet your goals? Did you come up short on some or hit them out of the ballpark? As long as you take the time to self-reflect on this unprecedented school year you can apply what you learned moving forward. Continue to work hard this last month of May.

If I can ever be of assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact me. My e-mail address is bmills@rollred.org or you can reach me by phone at Harding Middle School, (740) 282-3481. 

Sincerely,
Principal Bryan Mills

7th Grade Shots

*Attention all 6th-grade students becoming 7th-grade students this fall*

The State of Ohio requires 2 vaccines for entry into 7th grade: the meningitis vaccine (Menveo, Menactra, MCV4) and a tetanus vaccine (Tdap)

For your convenience, we are having a 7th grade shot day with Change, Inc on May 18th during school hours. This is to help get a jump start on 7th-grade vaccinations. You can schedule an appointment by calling 740-284-5712 Option 3. (Change, Inc will continue taking appointments for later dates as well) They are open throughout the summer from 7:30 am-3:30 pm.

Below is a release/ permission form attached. Please sign this for your child to receive the vaccines during school. Please send in an updated shot record from your doctor or have your doctor fax it in. HMS fax is 740-283-8949.

You may use your family Dr or the health department. The bottom line is that we have to have shot records by the 2nd week of school next fall. Don't wait till then!

HMS PBIS Program

In December of this year, we at HMS rolled out our new PBIS program "The Stallion W.A.Y". This reward system recognizes the positive behaviors, attitudes, and efforts our students present with everyday. Since rolling out this program we are ecstatic to announce that over 230 referrals have been submitted and that number increases daily!
