HBMS parents and guardians, please join us Monday, November 5th, from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. in the Centennial High School Media Center for a program on digital citizenship for families. Detective Laurie Nicholson from the Alpharetta Police Department has been working crimes against children for approximately 7 years, with 12 years of previous experience in APD working a variety of different positions from Patrol to DUI. In this session, she will address some of the issues our students are encountering on the internet and what parents and guardians can do to help their children in this area.

Dear Parents,
As we approach the upcoming holidays, candy, deserts, baked goods (store bought/homemade), or other edible items are not to be sold or distributed during school hours unless approved in advance by the administration. Students who do not adhere to this expectation are subject to disciplinary action for insubordination and all food items will be confiscated. Please discuss this expectation and possible consequences with your student(s).
This measure will help us maintain a safe environment for all students. You can help us protect your student(s) by requesting that they not eat anything given to them by another person, anything that they have not brought from your home or anything not in its original sealed package. Thank you for your continued partnership in keeping all of our students safe at school!
