As we do every year, HMS will be participating in the City of Hurricane's Christmas Blessing Program. However, due to things going on in the world today we must do it differently this year. Instead of bringing items or monetary donations to the classrom, HMS has created an online registry for Walmart. If you are interested in purchasing any of these items for the students we are sponsoring, please click the link below and make your purchases. All items must be at HMS before December 7th. You may drop the item off at HMS (please call Shawn Rigney at 304-751-6340 to make an appointment) or ship the items directly to HMS with the following address: Attn: Shawn Rigney Hurricane Middle School 518 Midland Trail Hurricane, WV 25526 Shopping online - Link to Registry: https://www.walmart.com/lists/view-events-registry-items?id=ff064ba8-d411-4b1b-809c-19207ed91815 Shopping in Person - Select Events and Hurricane Middle as the Event/Organization Name You may feel free to shop at any other store; however, if you purchase the item please email Shawn Rigney at srigney@k12.wv.us and let her know, so that she can update the registry.

Hello, Per the mandate from Governor Justice all winter sports have been put on hold until January 11th. Therefore, HMS will have no activities of any kind until that date. Please watch for the WVDE map tomorrow at 5pm to see if Putnam county is in person or remote. Drivers to HMS we have a new DO NOT BLOCK section in the turning lane. It is located near the breezeway turn in. Please follow the traffic pattern and do not block this area so that buses can make the turn safely. Please continue to check grades on Schoology and make sure to show all classes. We have students who have multiple zeros already this new nine weeks. If you have questions or concerns about a class, please make sure to contact the teacher first as they will be able to answer your concerns very quickly. You can reach them by email or Schoology account. Have a great evening.

Hello. Please have your student log on to their Schoology account and complete the work assigned. Our virtual days this school year are not like they were back in the spring. Students will be held accountable for all work assigned. There are TEAMS meeting that your student should attend. These meetings are helpful with homework and questions. If your student’s grades are not where you believe they should be based on the amount of time they are on the computer, please reach out to Ms. Allen, Mr. Skolny, or Mrs. Rooper. They can share with you the actual amount of time your student has spent engaged in each class. Also, remember most classes are eighty minutes long. One issue you may find with the change to second nine weeks is that you must select to see all courses if they are not already showing up. Each student should have Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies, two related arts, and an advisory class. Report cards will be given out on the first day we return from virtual. If you have not checked your student’s grades on Schoology I would recommend doing so immediately. If you do not have a parent account, ask your child to log on and show you their grades. Your account information was mailed out earlier this year. If you still need an account, please call your grade level counselor. Mr. Stepp- 8, Mr. Dyer-7, and Ms. Lee-6. If you want to meet with your child’s teachers, please send an email to the Language Arts or Math teacher and they will set up a TEAMS conference for all to attend. Have a great evening.

Hello Students should not download games and programs to their school computers. Doing so slows the computers down and is a breach of the use policy. Please ask your student to delete all items they downloaded to their school computer. Please check with your student about their grades. The nine weeks ends next Monday, and many students have missing assignments or zeros. If your student is virtual, they should attend each TEAMS call to help them with their classwork. HMS staff has been busy calling and sending emails to both parents and students about missing work. Please help us help your student be successful by checking their grades. Parent account information was mailed out weeks ago from the county office. If you need help logging on, please call your students counselor. Please note that all meals are free this year at all Putnam County Schools. Have a great evening.

Hello. Please discuss with your student the importance of wearing their face masks at HMS. All students are required to wear them for their protection as well as others. Nose and mouth need covered at all times other than lunch. Please have your student check for any missing assignments as the nine weeks will be ending November 2. Tomorrow is the last day to request a change from in person to virtual or from virtual to in person. Please call your grade level counselor to make that request. Drop off parents should utilize the 4 drop off stops to allow students to exit their cars. The first one is the first gray sidewalk by the building and the other three will follow behind. Please pull all the way up so we keep the line moving and help with traffic. Have a great evening.
