"We are Family!"

Sing it with us! We are all a family, striving to provide your child and our students with the highest form of education possible. Family involvement is a top priority at HMS and we encourage you to get to know your child's teachers. Speak up! Ask Questions! Get Involved! We welcome your concerns and value your opinions. Throughout the school year you will notice that your child brings home important information that we wish to communicate to you. Other times, there will be open house, family-teacher conferences, or student-led conferences. We strongly encourage you to talk to your child and be involved in their school-work as much as possible. We understand that most students come from families in which both parents hold full time jobs but we cannot stress enough the importance of talking about your child's school day with them as much as possible! 

 

So the million dollar question is, "How can you get involved?" There are a number of ways that your family can get involved in your child's education at Higgins Middle School. 

• Career Day - come share your interest with the students!
• Participate in "Make Our School Pretty" day
• Ride along on field trips and service learning opportunities
• Assist in a position at the school where help may be needed (e.g. library, front office, etc)
• Sponsor clubs and help out at fund raisers

Community involvement means that we take pride in the community and schools in which our students live and attend. The school, the children, and the community are inextricably linked. Students are in school from 7-10 hours a day so with family and community involvement, we as teachers and administrators can truly work to make an impact on the future leaders in our societies.
