Cell phone use on school buses..please read with your students...
Parents we need your help. HBMS students are allowed to use their cell phones any time on our school buses, but we do have some expectations that must be followed in order for your student to continue to be able to bring their phone with them to school each day. We have seen a recent increase in inappropriate cell phone use on the buses. Cell phones should only be used on the bus as a mode of silent and appropriate communication. Ring tones and sound effects distract our drivers and create unsafe situations for our students. No photographing or video images should ever be taken with electronic devises on the bus. This is an infringement of privacy rights. Thank you for discussing this issue with your students.
Book the following day to support HBMS.....
HBMS students, staff, parents and PTO will be teaming up with a local restaurant. As always thank you for your support.
Panera Bread Company Rt. 14 (by Best Buy) on Wednesday February 22 all day.

Homework Club/Help
Homework club from 2:15-4:15. Open to all HBMS students. Every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday we will be hosting homework help sessions. High school and college volunteers will be here to assist our students with their questions and homework.
As a parent of a student at HBMS we hope you will set up your student for success by doing the following:
To make sure your student has at least 8 hours of sleep each night.
To make sure your student eats breakfast each morning before leaving for school.
To let your student know daily how much you love and appreciate them with a hug and an "I love you".
To be a good role model to your student by showing them respect and importance towards education throughout their school days.
To be ready and willing to invest some of your personal time into your student's educational success: read with them, help them study, proof read papers.
To consistently ask them about their school day.
To provide a time (at least an hour) every day (from 3pm-9pm_ for reading, studying and homework.
Every school night, get prepared for the next day. Select clothes to be worn, decide on lunch and prepare your backpack. This will make your mornings more relaxed.
Together we will make it a great day each and every day at HBMS.

Activity buses for all three middle schools
It is my pleasure to announce that starting in the 2011-2012 school year, District 47 will be providing activity buses all for three of our middle schools. What this means is that on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, buses will be available at 4:15pm to transport students home from all three of our middle schools at designated drop off areas in each school community. The intent in providing these activity buses is to enable more students to participate in school activities, clubs, sports or remedial help as appropriate.
Designated drop-off areas:
Bus #1- Prairie @ Ellsworth/Virginia Rd Apts./Coventry school/Canterbury school/Dartmoor @ New Castle
Bus #2- Smith @ Steeple Run/New Haven and Montclair/Cimarron @ Georgetown/Drive-in and Redwood
Bus #3- Providence @ Nunda/Pleasant Hill Ct/Prairie Ridge HS/Pebble @ Granite/Springbrook @ Fox Run/ Hillside @ Meadowshire/Veterans Acres
