Parents should use the HMS Report an Absence form. Parents may still call the office or bring in a note, however, we highly encourage the use of our online form. Clearing absences may take a couple of days and we thank you for your patience. Please check Powerschool to see absence status.

Infected Individuals Should Not Test For Next 90 Days - How to Pause PCR Testing.

Staff and students infected with COVID should not test again for the next 90 days. PCR tests are sensitive and may likely produce a positive result for up to 90 days. Those participating in SMUSD's PCR testing program through OmniPathology may pause testing by logging into Privit at http://smusd.e-ppe.com, under the test participant’s name, next to "Joined Groups," click UPDATE, uncheck your associated group(s) and scroll down to click "DONE." To resume testing after 90 days, return and check the appropriate group(s).

Expediting Contact Tracing. Several SMUSD forms are now available to help expedite the contact tracing process:

SMUSD offers rapid antigen testing to students that develop symptoms during the school day or in response to close contact exposure. Prior to any testing of minors, parental or guardian consent is required. SMUSD parents/guardians may now provide consent ahead of time to expedite the testing process at https://smusd.info/testconsent

The San Marino Unified School District is requesting parents or guardians to voluntarily disclose their child’s COVID vaccination status to expedite contact tracing. Having the vaccination status of students would help COVID support staff expeditiously follow the appropriate LACDPH protocols. This information is being sought for the purposes of contact tracing only and will not be used for any other purpose. One response per student. https://smusd.info/vaccinestatus 

The San Marino Unified School District is required to report positive self-test results to LACOE. Any staff or student who tests positive using a school provided self-test must report and upload a photo of the test result at https://smusd.info/testresult

If you have social media, make sure you're following HMS to see the latest in our academic and spirited events.

First off, Career Day was a huge success! Cindy Yung, Wendy Yang, and June Gonzalez set up an exciting day where we welcomed over 25 speakers in person and virtually to engage and inspire our young people. It was wonderful to have volunteers back on campus for this beloved event.

Our Fox Games team led by Cathy Newton, Jennifer Kang and Jennifer Park rallied a community of volunteers for a simply phenomenal day of fun! And then that same evening, our Parent Party chairs, Anel Gorham and Andrea Yamamoto, followed up with a lavish and delightful evening out for our parents. Both events performed beyond expectations - raising money for our school while inspiring community and school spirit. 

Meanwhile, back on campus, Lulu Lopez and Emily Burke continue to bring Noontime Fun to our kids. In addition, Lisa Vuong and Brenda Salinas hosted another successful 6th Grade Dance. There are a few more of those left in the school year to look forward to.

And of course, there was quiet volunteer work going on behind the scenes as multiple committees kept our PTA running: Jaime Gertmenian worked on Teacher Wish Lists and Allocations, Lauren Shen led the Honorary Service Award efforts, and Mikah O’Mara handled Nominations, Bylaws review and the Halo Awards.  

And finally, a HUGE congratulations to the recipients of the HMS Honorary Service Awards: Emily Burke, Luyi Khasi and Magnolia Ycasas. Your volunteerism and generosity of spirit exemplify what makes our HMS community unique. We are so grateful to you and to all of our volunteers for the many ways you make HMS and San Marino the special place it is for our children.

Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for? (Audience) Why should they care? (Benefit) What do I want them to do here? (Call-to-Action)

Create a great offer by adding words like "free" "personalized" "complimentary" or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take an action, so think about inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining!"
