H-BC Families:

So great to be a part of this school community!  Thank you for sharing your children with us!  Looking forward to what the new year will bring!  We have an early dismissal today- 1 pm!  I am hopeful that you have some fantastic family time during our Christmas break, which runs from this afternoon through January 1.  School is back in session on Thursday, January 2, 2025.

EARLY OUT TODAY: 12:45 pm at the Secondary School and 1:00 pm at the Elementary.


OPEN ENROLLMENT: The open enrollment deadline is January 15, 2025. This applies to students leaving H-BC as well as those students intending to enroll at H-BC. Please contact Mr. Holthaus with questions.  The forms can be found on the hbc website:  Open Enrollment Forms

Weather/School Postponement/Early Dismissal/Cancellation Items:  As we begin our winter weather season, the district will once again be utilizing the JMC student information system to notify individuals of school related weather postponements, early dismissals, e-learning days and school cancellations. Individuals that want/need to be notified will be communicated with one or more of the following methods: phone call, email or text message from the district informing them of any school related announcement.

If you miss a call from the school, we ask that you not call the school directly.  First check your voicemail, because a message will most likely have been left sharing the information you missed. Please make sure all contact information is up to date in the JMC database. Individuals are able to login via the hbcpatriots.com website to make sure contact infor-mation is up to date, send an email or call either school’s office to assist.

E-LEARNING:  If we have an E-Learning Day, Here is the information- E-LEARNING LINK

FAMILY FUN:  Early Family Childhood Family Education is based on the idea that parents provide their child’s first and most significant learning environment and are the child’s first & most important teacher.  Children birth to age 5 and their parents/guardians are invited to join other families from 6:00-7:30 pm at H-BC Elementary.  Join us for the next :  January 7.
