Hidden Oaks Middle School students Grace and Matthew got a unique behind-the-scenes tour of the United Nations for their summer adventure! The best part was that their grandmother, who worked there for 25 years, gave them the grand tour!

Would you like to donate to HOMS' PBIS program? We believe that recognizing students who demonstrate the Positive Behavior & Intervention System (PBIS) SHARK expectations of Self-control, Honesty, Accountability, Respect and Kindness is an important part of building a positive school climate. Students can earn "SHARK bites” from school staff to earn privileges, items, or activities. See attached donation form if you would like to help sponsor HOMS PBIS.


🍎BACK TO SCHOOL🍎
REMINDER: Meet the teacher and 6th and 9th-grade orientations will be held this Wednesday, August 9th, the day BEFORE the 23-24 school year starts!
