HAMS Families: Thank you to those of you that came out last night to help us celebrate the accomplishments of our wonderful students!
HAMS Families, I hope you all had a great week. I wanted to share a few things as we go into the weekend. Next week, we will wrap up IAR testing on Monday. Chromebooks will be coming back home with the students Monday afternoon.
On Wednesday, April 21st, the 8th grade will participate in the State Science Assessment, the ISA. Eighth graders that attend in person, will take the ISA during the school day. 8th Graders that are remote learners, will need to come to the building at 1:00 PM to take the assessment. We believe they will be finished by 3:00, but it would be a good idea to make arrangements for them to call someone to pick them up when they are finished, as we have no way to know how long it will actually take them to complete the test.
I also wanted to share that on May 17th we will host the HAMS honors night in the MS gym. All students that attend will be recognized for their efforts and accomplishments this year. Due to social distancing requirements, we are only able to allow students to bring one person with them to Honors Night. More details can be found on a flyer, which has been mailed with your child’s midterm progress report. If you have any questions, please contact the MS office. Thank you and have a great weekend.
Parents of HAMS Remote Learners: Next week, we will have two days of testing. We will finish up IAR on Monday, April 19th. On Wednesday, April 21st, we will take the State Science Assessment. The Science test is for 8th grade students ONLY. We will begin the Science test at 1:00 PM. Students will take three tests that afternoon. This will conclude our State testing. Please contact the MS office if you have questions. Thank you!
Congratulations to our HAMS winners of the annual IL Principals Association honor. These students were chosen by our staff to represent our building with the IPA because they demonstrate qualities such as leadership, citizenship, and accountability. We're so proud of these two!!
HAMS Families,
The Middle School will conduct our annual State testing, IAR, April 12th-April 19th. In person learners are expected to arrive on time, with charged Chromebooks each day during testing. Testing sessions for in person learners will begin at 8:20 each day. If a student arrives after the session has begun, he or she will not be allowed to enter the classroom. They will have to make the test up at a later time.
The State has not provided us with a remote option for testing. That means that our remote learners will need to come into the building every day for testing. Testing sessions for remote learners will be every day from April 12th-April 19th. Please check our school website for the testing schedule. Remote learners are expected to arrive on time, with charged Chromebooks each day during testing. Remote learners will be split into small groups, with adequate spacing for social distancing during testing. Masks are still required for entrance to our building. If you have any questions, please call the MS office.
