LETTER TO PARENTS: As we move into summer, incoming principal La'Toya Ragan discusses seasonal opportunities and important events in her letter to parents/guardians.

SUMMER SCHOOL JUNE 1-25: Applications for summer school are now available online. Summer school will run June 1-25, Monday through Thursday and will be 100% online. The last day to submit student applications is May 15. More details are on the Summer School page.

DEVICE DROP-OFF & BELONGINGS PICK-UP: HMC-1 students with district-issued hot spots, iPads, and MacBooks must return those items to Smith-Hale or Ruskin during designated times May 27-30. 

During this time you may also retrieve student belongings and return library books, etc. at the student's home school. See our flyer (PDF) or the website calendar for details.

FLEXIBLE LEARNING PLAN: Due to the mandate of school closures announced by Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas, HMC-1 is closing all school buildings and suspending all activities through April 24. This includes in-person instruction, extra-curricular activities, and LINC programming.

Starting Tuesday, March 24, all instruction will take place through a Flexible Learning Plan (i.e. virtual learning). There will be printed packets available for families without WiFi. Packets will be distributed March 24 between 7:00-10:00 am. and 4:00-6:00 pm at the Administration Center (5401 E. 103rd St.).

Details about Flexible Learning, meals, and technology are available in our COVID-19 web section.

PROPOSED CHANGES: HMC-1 is exploring changes to school start times and bus transportation. These changes will significantly reduce transportation costs by using fewer buses. If the Board of Education approves, the proposed changes would begin with the 2020-2021 school year.

For more information and to provide your feedback, see our online feedback form. Responses will be accepted through April 1, 2020.

100th DAY FASHION SHOW for Ms. Cook's and Ms. Major's Kinderagrten class is Monday, February 10th and will begin at 8:45 in the gym.  We hope to see those all you come and cheer on your student.

PERFECT ATTENDANCE DAY is Wednesday, January 29th.  We will celebrate perfect attendance for students with a Chief's end-of-the day tailgate party.  We encourage all students to arrive on time (7:40 a.m.) this day and every day.
