LETTER TO PARENTS: As we move into summer, Principal Blancarte discusses seasonal opportunities and important events in her letter to parents/guardians.

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.

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.

SCHOOL CLOSURES: Missouri Governor Mike Parson has mandated schools close for the remainder of the academic year. Students should continue learning through HMC-1's Flexible Learning Plan, available on the district website.  Choice boards for the remainder of the year have been posted. Please watch your email and the website for additional announcements.

MEAL CHANGES: HMC-1 is committed to providing meals to students as we navigate through this challenging time. Beginning Tuesday, March 31st, Grab & Go meals distribution will change. Meals will only be available at school sites, including the Johnson and Symington Elementary buildings, on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Unfortunately, we are no longer able to deliver Grab & Go meals through bus routes. This decision comes as we work to balance the needs of our students with the increased spread of the Coronavirus and the desire to keep our volunteers and staff members safe.  

Meals will be available at:

• Compass, Dobbs, Ervin, Freda, Ingels, Millennium, Ruskin, Truman and Warford

• Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. 

 Meals will be available at:

• Johnson and Symington

• Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.  

 Grab & Go bags will include lunch and breakfast items to last two or three days. Students must be present to receive a meal. Thank you for your patience and continued support as we go through this unprecedented time together. Please feel free to email me or contact your child's teacher should you have any questions.
