There is a great new feature added to our One Call Now notification system. Each family now has the ability to login and add additional phone numbers and e-mail addresses to receive any/all notifications from the school and/or the Parent Faculty Association. To add/edit this information, go the HTHS home page and click on the "Family Profile" banner. All you need to do is enter your last name and home phone number and then you will be able to modify your contact information. Please be aware that every call generated will be sent to every number that you add to the system.
Fee free to contact me with any questions.
We had a great first two days to open the 2008-09 school year. In addition to shortened periods so that students could walk through their full schedule, all upperclass students had an opportunity to interact with the freshmen class outside (and we were really blessed with great weather). Many thanks to the PFA (especially hospitality chair, Penny Mueller) for hosting an amazing pizza lunch for all of us on Friday afternoon, with "make your own ice cream sundaes" to cap it off. We had a GREAT turnout of parents to help out and I look forward to all that additional assistance and input throughout the year.
Students all received their agenda books at the end of the day Friday. Please be sure to review the parent/student handbook contained within and to return the agreement form that was mailed out with your welcome packets in late August. A 'pdf' copy of the handbook is also available on the website.
On Wednesday, March 5th, progress reports for the 3rd marking period are being mailed out. In this mailing will be a letter containing information covering a variety of topics, including how to schedule parent/teacher conferences on Thursday, March 13th between 3 pm and 5 pm. Please read this information carefully. Also included is a flyer recruiting volunteers for our Rude Awakenings program on May 15th.
Upcoming events are highlighted in this letter, but can always be found by following the calendar link off of the homepage. Note that the Lock-In is this Friday. Information and permission slips can be found on the website.
In case your summer has been going so quickly that you haven't looked at a calendar recently (don't we all wish), the opening of the new school year is right around the corner. Faculty and staff report on Tuesday, September 4th in preparation for the arrival of students on Thursday, September 6th. Personally, I am excited about the new year. We have a fabulous student body, especially our awesome (and LARGE) Senior class who have all set a high standard of excellence in academics and character for the underclassmen and we all welcome the Class of 2011 to the family.

Wow. I'm really moving into the 21st century. My very own Weblog. Not bad for an old guy, huh? : )
For now, I'm just testing this out, but soon I hope to use this to provide more insight and information. Stay tuned ...
