Open House Information

Hixson Open House 2014:

HMS Open House will be on Wednesday, August 27th from 6:30-8:15pm

During our middle school open house, parents will have the opportunity to "live" a sample version of your child's daily schedule.  Student schedules will be disseminated for open house through the following methods:

• Parent portal access to SIS.  Parents are able to view and print student schedules via the portal in the SIS system
• Email- the HMS office will use a system within our SIS system to email parents their child's schedule to the email address(es) you have on file with the office
• If you do not have your child's schedule from the email or the parent portal, back up copies of schedules will be available at the main entrance of the school at 6:00 pm before open house begins at 6:30.  We anticipate most parents having the schedule ahead of time, so back up schedule lines should not be too long.

6:00- lines begin for back up schedules

6:26- Use your child's schedule to navigate your way to his/her 1st hour class
