Last week, our 5th graders spent the day at Hingham Middle School for Move Up Day! They explored their future school, met some of their teachers, and heard from Principal Derek Smith about what a typical day is like at HMS. He shared what to expect in 6th grade and all the exciting after school clubs students can join. They also took part in a scavenger hunt, discovering important spots like the guidance office and the nurse's office while starting to feel more at home in their new school. We loved having you, Class of 2032. We cannot wait to see you at HMS this fall!

Reminder! Kindergarten Orientation and Screening is going on this week at all four of HPS' elementary schools. May 19 PRS Elementary, May 20 East Elementary, May 21 Foster Elementary, May 22 South Elementary
