HAMS Parents,
The Illinois 5-Essentials Survey has opened up for this year. This survey is an opportunity for parents to provide our school with very valuable feedback.

Your feedback is extremely important and is very much appreciated.

HAMS Students and Families
As previously stated by Mr. Richardson, the middle school will be placed on adaptive pause next week. As a result, all instruction will be delivered remotely to our students via Google Classroom or other online applications that your students are familiar with. If you would like for your student(s) to receive paper copies of their assignments, please reach out to the office. Any relevant paperwork will be available for pick up on Tuesday, December, 14th. Please contact the office if your child left their chromebook at school and we will arrange for it to be picked up. Lastly, if you student should need meals over break you will need to fill out the Lunch Service Request Form on the district website by 8 pm on Sunday, December 12th. Meals will be delivered on the afternoon of Monday, December 13th.
This Sunday, December 12th will be the high school and middle school band and chorus concerts. Both concerts will be held in the middle school gym. Due to the increase in COVID cases locally, we will be splitting the concert into two separate parts as a mitigation step. The middle school concert will be held from 3:00-3:30 pm with doors opening at 2:45 pm. After the middle school concert, we will be asking those middle school families who don't have any students in the high school to leave after the concert. The high school concert will then be held from 4:00-4:30 pm with doors opening at 3:45 pm. As a reminder for our visitors, masks will be required during the concert and while in the building.
