🎒📚 Calling All Future 7th Graders! 📚🎒

HEMS is getting ready to welcome our incoming 7th grade students for the 2026-2027 school year — and we want to make sure everyone is ready for Day 1! 🐻

Before the first day of school on August 12, 2026, all upcoming 7th graders must have their required immunizations/shots completed and turned into the school.

💉 Don’t wait until the last minute — doctor appointments fill up FAST during the summer!

✔️ Schedule your appointment early
✔️ Please drop off updated shot records in the main office for our school nurse
✔️ Start the school year stress-free and ready to go!

We are excited to see our future 7th graders back in the building soon and can’t wait for another amazing year at HEMS! 🎉

We are inviting rising freshmen and their families to attend our “Highlander Hangout.” This event is for rising freshmen and their families to have the opportunity to meet some of their teachers and student support staff, gather information about athletic and academic programs, take guided tours, and enjoy some grilled hot dogs. The Highlander Hangout is a relaxed evening designed to be a true “hang out” where students and families get a first glance at life on the Hill! 💚💛

This event will take place on June 2nd from 5–6 p.m. 🌭
