Dear HUMS Families;
The end of quarter one is upon us and it is time to hold our first family conference meeting. In our conferences, we hope to build upon our August welcome meetings, continuing to celebrate what is working well and consider what remains challenging for your child. Our 7th grade students will share reflections on their transition to HUMS, and share samples of school work and progress made thus far. Our 8th grade students will reflect on their return to a very different HUMS as well as their learning so far this year. The conversations will be a time to reflect on strengths, and areas in need of support, allowing you to see what your child has been learning and share in their accomplishments. What: Student Led Conferences Who: Student, Parent/Guardian, Teacher Advisor When: November 12th from 3:30-6:00 or 17th from 3:00-6:00 How: Through Zoom meetings Sign Up:

What are you planning for the holidays this year? It’s hard to imagine breaking with tradition and celebrating at home, but that is what a lot of Vermont families are deciding to do in 2020. Travel does increase your chance of getting and spreading COVID-19, and the way you celebrate this year will have an impact on your family, community, and Vermont. Consider the level of risk you are willing to take and make plans to safely gather with loved ones or think creatively about how to connect remotely. Don’t make plans to travel or gather until you take these steps:
1. Check the map to find out the risk of COVID-19 infection at your destination, 2. Decide if the risk is worth it for your family, 3. Plan to have a safe trip or gathering, remain flexible and get your flu shot and 4. Quarantine when you return.
