Welcome to the 2023-2024 School Year!

The staff at Horace Mann Middle School is excited to welcome our new students to HMMS and welcome back our students who are returning for another year. The purpose of this letter is to inform our families of the details surrounding the registration process and steps leading up to the first day of the 2023-2024 school year on Tuesday, August 29, 2023.

Registration is August 3 from 10:00am-4:00pm OR August 7 from 1:00pm-7:00pm

Upon arrival, families will be given a printed emergency sheet to update. Please know that having correct emergency contact information is imperative to successful communication throughout the year. Please ensure that a parent or guardian is present at schedule pick up in order to obtain the most recent and reliable emergency contact information.

Enclosed is the Student Health Information Sheet, which needs to be completed and returned for all 6th grade students. This form should also be completed for any 7th or 8th grade student only if there has been a change in their health, which allows us to update our records.

Please review all documents in this envelope and bring necessary documents to schedule pick up. There will be many school staff members and others available during this time, including health, food, and transportation services. School pictures will not take place during schedule pick up this year and instead take place during the school day. Students may access their lockers after picking up their schedule and may continue to do so from 7:30am-3:00pm Monday-Friday throughout August.

School officially begins on Tuesday, August 29 at 7:35am.  Students begin going to homeroom at 7:30am. Breakfast is served at 7:10am and playground supervision also begins at 7:10am. If you are dropping off your student, please use the 13th Street entrance.

We look forward to seeing our students and families at our registration. We also look forward to seeing everyone on the night of Tuesday, August 22nd for our Open House from 4:00pm-6:00pm.

Thanks,
Dr. Rob Phelps
Principal, Horace Mann Middle School
