Individual emails are being sent to the parent/guardian of these students. If you receive an email notice, PLEASE take 10 minutes to login to Canvas and complete this very important task. Should an emergency occur during the school day, the administration MUST have access to correct parent/guardian contact information. We are also striving to be the first HCPSS high school to be 100% complete!!!
Start With Hello Week, September 17-21
Start With Hello Week is the perfect opportunity to welcome students back to school and to engage students around sustaining a culture of inclusiveness and connectedness throughout the school year. Social isolation is the overwhelming feeling of being left out, lonely or treated like you are invisible. Young people who feel this way may pull away from society, struggle with learning and social development, or choose to hurt themselves or others. This year we are charging our student leaders to take the lead and reach out to our newest mustangs and begin conversations. Active Minds and Student Services will be conducting activities and initiatives throughout the week. Join us as we encourage the MRHS student body to take small but powerful actions to promote connectedness and inclusion, and to identify and help others who are showing signs of social isolation.
Hosted by MRHS Student Services
