#ATTENDANCEMATTERS: HMC-1 is taking on chronic absences through our “Let’s Be Present…Attendance Matters” campaign. Throughout September, you will receive information and tips on ensuring your student is at school. If you think missing a day here or there won’t matter, think again. Absences add up quickly. By missing just one day every two weeks, you would be on track to miss nearly a month of school for the year! Click here to learn more.

IT'S HERE:  Parents can now use HMC-1's new Web Store to pay student fees such as library and textbook fines, purchase yearbooks pay senior dues, and more. Get directions here.

DON'T MISS OUT: Beginning this spring, parents will be able to register online for the 2017-2018 school year! A new online fee/payment system will also become available. Parents must have an online Parent Portal account created to access both of these new additions. Click here to create your account, or visit Ingel's library media center for help so you can be ready when these systems go live!

NEW HARASSMENT & BULLYING POLICY POSTED: Important information related to changes in Missouri criminal codes has been posted to the District's website. These changes may have an impact on students in the HMC-1 community. The purpose behind the new laws is to protect students who fall victim to bullying and to discourage students from engaging in any sort of physical altercations.

As of January 1, 2017, substantial revisions to some of the Missouri criminal codes took effect. Please see the newly posted policy for details and answers to frequently asked questions.
