Dear Hyde Park Families,

It’s hard to believe we are already

through the first quarter of the

school year. We are gearing up

for the end of 2015, and a great

holiday season. Our performing

arts department will have many

special concerts during December.

Please mark your calendar and be

sure to attend, as these are

extraordinary opportunities to

see our students shine. These

concerts are quite a festive way

to kick off the holiday season!

Please remember that the weather

is getting colder, and students

should be dressed appropriately.

Many children are dropped off and

picked up, so they do not bother

with warm clothes. However,

because we have outdoor hallways,

we want to make sure our students

stay warm.

Mission Statement:

The Hyde Park Middle

School community

supports and

empowers learners.

The Academy of Science

and Mathematics at

Hyde Park Middle School

nurtures and enhances

students’ scientific

and mathematical inquiry.

At Hyde Park, our teachers continuously work hard to provide rigor, relevance, and strong relationships in the classroom. Please take an extra few minutes in the morning to make sure your child has their homework, lunch and everything else needed for the school day so the classroom instructional time will not be interrupted. Report cards went home on November 12th. If your child is unhappy with their grades, please encourage them to set goals for this quarter and discuss these goals often. Also, please remember to utilize Campus Portal to regularly check your child’s academic progress.

Thank you for your continued support and

for being an active partner in your

student’s education.

Have a wonderful holiday season!

Sincerely,

Anna Belknap

COUNSELOR’S CORNER

The Hyde Park counseling department would like to thank everyone for a successful start to the 2015-

2016 school year. We have been very busy adjusting schedules, but we are looking forward to an exciting year

with many enriching counseling activities.

As a part of our Bullying Prevention Program, our counseling department is supporting the Josh Stevens Foundation and spreading the message of kindness throughout the campus. This year the theme is,

“Be Pawsitive.” We encourage our students to show kindness in and out of the classrooms, and if a student is

“caught being kind,” they can receive either a “Be Kind” shirt or bracelet. Be Kind Shirts are also available to

purchase in the front office for $10. We want our students to know that their kind actions do not go

unnoticed. Every Friday, teachers, students, and parents are encouraged wear their “Be Kind” shirts to spread

the message of being kind and to show support for our school. We will also have bully reporting on our school

website. Students will be able to anonymously access a form on our website and the information provided will go

directly to the deans’ office.

The counseling department will also have numerous student recognition programs this year. Students will

be recognized each quarter for receiving straight O’s and A’s and B’s on their quarterly report cards. They will

be rewarded during their lunch, so make sure they bring their report card to the lunchroom. The counseling

department offers Tuesday Treats, on the final Tuesday of each month, where students will be rewarded by

teachers and staff for their hard work, kindness, or just for being overall good students. The counselors will

also host a straight A field trip this year that will take place during the 4th quarter for students who receive

all A’s on their quarterly reports cards.

Finally, the counselors will be in classrooms throughout the year conducting lessons on careers, bullying,

transitioning to high school, magnet schools, organization, academic plans, study skills, and many other topics

pertinent to your child’s successful year at Hyde Park MS. As the counselors conduct these classroom lessons,

we have students complete surveys regarding topics covered, and will also determine which students would

benefit from small counseling groups such as divorce, grief, anxiety, or peer mediation. If you would not like

your child to take these surveys or participate in a counseling group, please contact your child’s counselor.

If you have any questions for the counselors, please feel free to contact them.

Ms. Romjue 7th grade counselor 799-4260, ext. 4303 [email protected]

Mr. McGee 8th grade counselor 799-4260, ext. 4302 [email protected]

Thank you in advance for your support; we are looking forward to a kind and successful school year.

Sincerely,

Ms. Haynes Mr. McGee Ms. Romjue
