Dear HHS Community,

As we are about to head into our final two days of the 2019-20 school year, we share out a tremendous thank you to the entire HHS community!  During normal times, the close out to the year is truly special.  Given the times we have faced during the last three months, it is absolutely amazing how this community has pulled together.  It was not always easy, and there were definitely bumps along the way.  This entire community of staff, families, and students has faced a great many challenges during this time.  It is very easy to say we have all been learners while facing these challenges.  Thank you for your patience and support of students, each other, and your families.  

There will no doubt be a great deal of planning in the months ahead, as we think about what the 2020-21 school year will look like.  Please keep your eyes on specific messages through the summer months, as guidance and planning become more certain.  

With that said, we look forward to rounding out the next couple of days in the best way possible.  Staff and students will take this opportunity to connect and share their goodbyes for the summer.  We know this is not the way we expected the year to close, but have truly appreciated the community connections that have been fostered through the year.  We also look forward to celebrating our Seniors again Thursday night with two more special events!

Best wishes for a peaceful close out during the next couple of days.  We look forward to seeing many of you during the drop-off/pick-up times next week!

Dear HHS Students and Families,

 We hope this letter finds you well.  As we prepare for the end of the school year, one large task that remains is the pick-up and drop off of belongings.  We have designed a schedule and process for our families/students to pick up the contents of their lockers and return school materials (instruments, library books, textbooks, chromebooks, etc…).  While we know that everyone is eager to retrieve their belongings, we must do so in a safe and orderly manner.  

 The contents of all student lockers have been emptied and bagged.  Each bag is labeled with the student’s name and locker number.  Please be sure your child knows their locker number prior to your designated pickup time. 

Below you will find an overview of the item drop-off and retrieval process, so that we are in compliance with current mandates and maintain proper social distancing.

1. The student and/or family member will drive to HHS according to the time/date below.  
2. Please place all belongings that need to be returned to HHS in the trunk of your car.  These items will be removed at the drop off stations in the main HHS parking lot.
3. Cars will enter the grounds and head to the main HHS parking lot.
4. Cars will proceed to the first station to return items such as instruments, calculators, chromebooks, etc.  Only Seniors who currently have a chromebook need to return it at this time. All 9th-11th grade students can keep them at home until we return next school year.  
5. Cars will follow in a line to the next station where they will return all books.  Prior to drop off, please put the student’s name, teacher, course and period on a piece of paper inside the front cover of the book.
6. Cars will stop at the last station to request bagged locker items.  These will be placed in your trunk.  
7. Please exit the parking lot, once belongings have been loaded into your car.
8. Upon exiting the main parking lot, any student/parent looking to pick-up items from gym lockers should turn down the bus lane heading toward the flag pole/Satz main entrance.  Those items are bagged and will be along the curb area.  Since PE lockers are not designated to specific students, please note you will need to exit your car to identify items that belong to you. 
9. Requests for medications being held at the school should be emailed to our school nurse  scampuzano@holmdelschools.org   

***We ask that anyone coming to HHS wears a facial covering.***

***Yearbooks have just arrived!  We would like to give our students a chance to have these in hand prior to the school year closing out!  Yearbook pick-up will take place this Wednesday, June 17th.  As you enter the HHS grounds, please make your way down the bus lane toward the Satz School main entrance.  Pick-up times are as follows for this day...***

• 12pm-1pm Senior’s only
• 1pm-3pm All other grades

Face coverings are required for the safety of our staff and others. 

If you did not purchase a yearbook, a limited number are available on a first come first served basis.  The cost is $105 and will be available for purchase at the times above.  If you have any questions please email our yearbook advisors Elliot Cohen ECOHEN@Holmdelschools.org or Amanda Rein AREIN@Holmdelschools.org

 

As always, thank you for partnering with us to keep our school community as safe as possible!

Dear HHS Community,

Hope everyone is doing well at this time.  While not a complete surprise, we were very sad when the Governor shared that school would be closed for the remainder of the year.  As discussed in many communications, this is not how any of us wanted the 2019-20 school year to close.  Everyone has been putting their best foot forward during this time, but there is no substitute for having the opportunity to connect personally with peers, friends, and teachers.  Thank you to all of you for continuing to keep your head up during this time...not always easy.

Just a few reminders/updates at this point....

• More information to follow on the distribution of yearbooks and student belongings, as we continue to get further guidance from state agencies.
• Teachers are available from 9:00-1:00 each day for the most immediate feedback.  We know our teachers are putting in a great deal more time to plan, grade, and connect with students/parents outside that timeframe.  Please continue to reach out to your teachers for additional assistance, as opposed to immediately jumping to other sources of information.  Given the technology at our fingertips, there are many sources of information out there, but it continues to be most important to take the time to connect with your teachers directly if you have questions about an assignment, assessment, project, etc.
• Grabbing information from other sources may seem quick and easy, but the goal is not just to "get through" an assignment.  It is important to learn the information to round out this school year, in preparation for the next level course you will see to kick off 2020-21.  "Quick and Easy" will not have you readily prepared for those challenges.
• For safety, security, and academic integrity reasons please do not share your login information with anyone.  There is no reason anyone else should need to be in your account.  
• Please keep in mind that if there are Academic Integrity infractions, they will continue to be handled in accordance with our Student Handbook/Code of Conduct.  Some of the consequences outlined in those documents may have an impact on qualifications for our Honors Societies.  

We truly miss seeing our HHS students, staff, and families on a daily basis.  Stay safe and well and please don't hesitate to reach with questions as we work through this time together.  As always, thanks for partnering with us to do great things for the HHS community!
