HPS buildings will be open and ready for students and staff tomorrow, Wednesday, January 28th. We greatly appreciate the extraordinary efforts of our facilities, maintenance, custodial, and DPW teams during this challenging storm.
Please note that our transportation director has driven the bus routes and has indicated that morning routes will take significantly longer than usual. Students who live along main streets with existing bus routes will be picked up at their individual driveways and should not wait in the street.
Anticipated delays in completing early morning middle school and high school routes could result in elementary students waiting for bus pickup in dangerously cold weather. For these reasons, PreK and elementary ONLY will have a 1 hour delay. Kids in Action drop off times will similarly be delayed by 1 hour for students enrolled in KIA.
HMS and HHS will have a full day of school and will operate under usual start and end times.
Stay warm and safe travels!

What in the Wetu?? 👀 Our 3rd graders at Foster can tell you!
To wrap up their month-long unit on Wampanoag culture, our students put their creative problem-solving skills to the test—using natural materials from the environment to build their own longhouses and wetus, just as the Wampanoag people did. Other grades stopped by for a “Wetu Walkthrough” to see their final creations. 🌿

What are you grateful for this year? 🙏🦃 If you ask our HMS students, they will say our incredible faculty and staff. Our students took this idea to another level, creating an entire display of gratitude leaves. Student Council members encouraged students to fill out a leaf during lunchtime, and within a few days the wall was filled.
To our students: we are so thankful for YOU—for being such kind, caring, and supportive members of our school community. ❤️

This Veteran’s Day, we pause to honor veterans in our community and across the nation, both past and present. Thank you for your courage, sacrifice, and service to our country, allowing us to live with the freedoms we hold close today. 🇺🇸






Core values of inclusivity and belonging are at the heart of everything we do. ❤️🖤 Unified Sports is a perfect display of these values, and we’re so grateful to see it thriving at HMS! 👏
HMS Unified Bocce Ball players recently participated in their first-ever Jamboree, where middle school Unified programs from across the South Shore came together to compete in sport.
