TOMORROW IS THE BIG DAY!
Student Planners in Advisory!
Thursday during Advisory, every student will receive their official student planner for the year—their personal roadmap to staying organized and stress-free.
How to Partner with Your Child Tomorrow Evening:
Explore it Together: Take 10 minutes to flip through the pages with your student, check out the layout, and discuss how they plan to use it.
Build a Plan of Support: Decide on a simple routine at home—like a quick 2-minute daily check-in after school or dinner—so you can support their goals without micromanaging.
Set the Daily Habit: Remind them that this planner needs to travel in their backpack to and from school every single day.
Thank you for helping us build great habits early and set your child up for a phenomenal school year!
Get ready, Bulldogs! On Thursday, September 10th, Hernandez Middle School students will receive their official 2026–2027 Student Planner in Advisory to help keep the Pack organized, focused, and ready to conquer the school year.
Planner Highlights & Features:
Academic Tracking: Pre-formatted weekly and monthly calendar views to record daily homework, test scores and dates, schedule IB project deadlines, and track goals.
HERO Cards: Keep up with weekly grades and tutoring.
Subject Notes: Filled with sentence stems for writing assignments and subject specific notes to help with homework.
Durable Design: Built with a sturdy spiral binding to withstand daily backpack transit all year long.
Helpful Links & Resources:
Check out this video to see how parents can help support their students with their planners.

6th Grade Parents and Guardians,
Last Friday in 6th grade Accel Science class, we officially launched our Science Fair project! The students learned about the expectations, timelines, and how to begin researching topic ideas.
Here are a few important details to discuss with your student as they get started:
Project Selection & Difficulty: We are using Science Buddies to help students explore project ideas based on their interests. When browsing, please note that students may choose projects labeled as Intermediate Hard, Advanced Easy, Advanced Medium, or Advanced Hard.
Budget & Materials: As your child researches potential projects, please talk with them about the materials required and any associated costs before they make a final decision.
Partner Projects: Some students have expressed interest in working with a partner. Because the majority of project preparation and research will be completed outside of school, please discuss this option with your student. Partners will need to coordinate schedules, divide workloads fairly, and agree on how to split any material costs.
Next Steps & Important Information:
Safety & Approval: All project proposals must be approved by me before students begin purchasing materials or conducting experiments. A google form will be placed into the Science Fair Google Classroom next week and will need to be completed by your student by September 14, 2026.
Key Deadlines: Deadlines are included in our launch presentation attached.
Thank you for your support in making this a fun and educational experience for your child. Please reach out to your child's science teacher if you have any questions!
Way to go HeMs PTA on a strong start to membership! We are on our way! We still need more members to reach our yearly goal.
