Hello, fourth grade students and parents!! We are excited to welcome our incoming fifth graders to HKMS! We have a number of events that help to inform parents and students about our school and the transition process, and will also include information here as we go through the remainder of this school year. For the current year, Rebecca Degnan will be our transition counselor. She acts as the main contact person for parents who have questions about the transition process. Please check this page often as we begin to schedule our transition activities, which include a fourth grade parent information session, counselor/assistant principal visits to each elementary school, fourth grade visits to HKMS, and our summer orientation program called Step-Up Camp.

Fourth Grade visits to HKMS: Dates TBD.

Students sign up for one session, which includes icebreaker games, tours of the building, an opportunity to practice opening lockers, snack, an explanation of our schedule, many opportunities to get answers to questions, and the annual favorite - the HKMS scavenger hunt!
