Heath Middle School Parents and Community,
Welcome back to the 2019 – 2020 school year at Heath Middle School! I am looking forward to a great year of learning for students and staff. As we head into the new year you will see:
- Continued focus on developing leadership skills through the LEAD program which focuses on developing the 7 Habits of leadership developed by Franklin Covey.
- Teachers working on continuous improvement with instruction with a focus on assessing student knowledge. This allows them to understand the progress students are making and the effectiveness of their teaching methods so they can continue to grow their abilities to support students.
- Our 8th and 9th graders piloting our One2One program where each student is issued a school-owned chromebook that they will use throughout the school day and at home. Using these devices to learn will enhance their educational experience and prepare them for roles they will take on in the future.
Here are some ways you can support your students’ success this school year:
- Encourage your student to take an active role by participating in activities like sports, clubs, new initiatives, the arts – explore new areas of interest.
- Stay in the know by connecting with HMS through Facebook or Instagram: @hmsbulldogs.
- Create a Progress Book account to check in on your student’s grades.
- Create routines and habits for homework and ask you child about school each day.
- Stay in communication with teachers as needs arise.
- Encourage your student to always do their best.
We’re looking forward to working with you in the year ahead to create the best middle school experience possible for each of our students.
Sincerely,
Holly Myers
Principal
