*School-Wide Announcements*

Just So You Know

FUN FACT: Ever feel like your student answers your questions about school with grunts and gestures? Same. No worries, though. You can go straight to the source by checking the Daily Announcements front and center on the Main Page of the HHS website. Not because you are a helicopter parent, but because it is hard to encourage a kid if you don't know what is happening in their environment. Now you know.
