Hello all Holgate Middle School Families! On Tuesday, April 18th at 6:30pm we will have our monthly HMS PTA meeting and we need some dedicated parents help to keep the HMS PTA alive for 2023-24! We are in need of a President, Vice President, and Treasurer. These officer positions are very easy and your help is very important for the HMS kids and staff!

Dear Holgate Middle School 8th Grade Parents,
Next week, we are starting our testing for the yearly state assessment. To ensure students are at their optimal performance, we ask that students get 8 hours of sleep and eat a healthy breakfast. We are looking for donations for snacks for each testing day. Suggested snacks include granola bars, rice krispies, goldfish and fruit snacks. These items need to be individually wrapped and somewhat nutritious. Please do not send anything with nuts to be aware of those with allergies. The average class is 30 students per class. If you are willing to bring that amount, we would appreciate it but will accept any amount you are able to provide. These can be dropped off in the office. Testing takes a lot of mental energy, and we want each one of our students to have great success these coming weeks! Thank you!
