Dear HMS Parents, Guardians, and Students,
I hope that your family has settled into the rhythm of the new school year. The past few weeks at Hastings Middle School have been nothing short of energizing. It has been fantastic to witness our students' enthusiasm as they dive into their academics, extracurricular activities, and new friendships. We’ve truly kicked off the year on a strong note.
October is a significant month for us here at HMS. As the leaves change, so do the dynamics in our classrooms and hallways. We're focusing on refining our Raider Way PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) framework to ensure that we are consistently fostering a positive school culture. This work is essential in helping us meet our academic and behavioral goals for the year. We appreciate your continued partnership in reinforcing these expectations at home.
Our academic goals remain a top priority as well. We are working diligently to increase our student achievement in Math, Science, and Reading. With that in mind, please encourage your students to stay organized, use their planners and binders, and seek help from their teachers when needed. Success is a team effort, and we are committed to helping each student reach their full potential.
Additionally, I’d like to remind you of some key events this month. Fall conferences are coming up, and they provide an excellent opportunity for you to connect with your child's teachers and discuss their progress. We’re looking forward to these conversations and the continued collaboration that helps support student growth.
As always, thank you for your support and commitment to our school community. Let’s continue to work together to make this school year one of growth, success, and joy for every student. If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out.
Go Raiders!
Sincerely,
Ryan Wynn
Principal
Hastings Middle School
