Hendersonville Middle School

We are so excited to see some of our students back in the building next week! Included in this newsletter is information about our new daily schedule. We have adjusted the morning times slightly to build in time for sanitizing between classes. So all students need to make note of new class times.

For internet safety and technology support, we ask all students to use a school-issued chromebook for in-person learning. We will issue these on the first day of in-person learning if your child does not have one.

Please also see below information about devices to be used for in-person learning on campus, arrival and dismissal times, a survey about lunch and car riders, and some changes to the exploratory classes.

Thank you in advance for your patience and flexibility as we work through these new procedures. If you have any questions, please email your child's teacher or call us here at the school at 697-4800!

Go Bearcats!

Morning Drop-Off time is between 7:15 - 8:00. Instruction begins at 8:00. We will begin our dismissal procedures at 2:45 with all 8th graders. Bus riders and walkers will be dismissed next. 6th and 7th grade car riders will remain in their last class until their car rider tag number is called. We ask for you patience as we practice this new procedure to keep your child safe.

Car Rider Line Morning

1. Enter the car rider line from Ninth Avenue.
2. Students remain inside the vehicle until a staff member takes the student's temperature.
3. Student temperature must be below 100.4 to enter the building.
4. From 7:15 - 7:30 students will be directed to a socially distanced area in the gym.
5. After 7:30, students will report directly to their Bearcat teacher.

Car Rider Line Afternoon

1. Enter the car rider line from Ninth Avenue.
2. Each car rider will be given a car rider tag with an assigned number. Please display this tag in your dash. Please complete the survey below if you plan on picking your child up in the car rider line.
3. Students need to be picked up no later than 3:30.

We need to make minor adjustments to our exploratory class schedules due to staff schedules here at Hendersonville Middle School and at Hendersonville High School.

Ms. Taylor's Spanish 1, Ms. Beasley's 7th grade art classes, and Mr. Weakley's 8th grade drama classes have been affected. Students in these classes will go to these classes in the morning before 12:00pm. They will then go to PE or health in the afternoon.

We also ask all students enrolled in Remote Learning Only attend their non-PE exploratory class in the morning. They will have a physical or mental health activity they can complete after 12:00 at their convenience. Exploratory Teachers will communicate with students and are available by email if you have questions.

Our office hours are 7:30am to 3:30pm Monday through Friday. Stay connected by following us on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram @HvlMiddle. Be sure to keep your email and phone number up-to-date with our office.
