HCMS News PARENT NIGHT REMINDER Harper’s Choice Parent Night on Thursday, February 2, from 7-8pm. Childcare will be available and we want to thank the PTA for providing food and beverages. During Parent Night, the Administration along with the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade staff and other support staff from Harper’s Choice, will share important tips about homework, class work, tests, quizzes, grades, teacher/parent communication and the other various supports available for our students.
