NEW VISITOR & VOLUNTEER SECURITY PROCEDURES: Beginning Monday, September 17, 2018, all HMC-1 buildings will begin using the Raptor Visitor Management System to strengthen campus safety for students and faculty. The Raptor system will better allow us to screen visitors, contractors, and volunteers in our schools and provide us with a safer environment for our students and staff. Upon entering a district building, visitors will be asked to present a government-issued ID, such as a driver’s license, which can either be scanned or manually entered into the system. For more information and details about updated volunteer background checks, please visit our informational page.

#HMC1AttendanceMatters: This September, we are holding our "Let's Be Present...Attendance Matters" campaign to highlight why it is so important for your child to be at school every day and on time. Each week, parents will receive an email with an attendance tip and information. Tips will also be shared on our Facebook and Twitter pages. Then Wednesday, September 26, we want to see each and every child at school for our HMC-1 Day of Perfect Attendance.

ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR SUPERINTENDENT'S COUNCIL: Superintendent Yolanda Cargile, Ed.D. is accepting applications from students grades 7-12 to participate in her Student Advisory Council. All eligible students are strongly encouraged to apply.

IMPORTANT CHANGES TO THE 2018/19 CALENDAR: An updated District calendar for the 2018/19 school year is available to download. Please note the first day of school will now be August 15. There are also two additional days of no school so staff can participate in professional development. Similar changes have also been made to the 2019/20 calendar.

#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.
