HMS Track: After much delay we are happy to announce our track coaches for this year. Melissa Cartwright and Richard Liddell. Practices will be held M-Th 3:30 to 5:30 starting today for the next 4 weeks with track meets on Fridays.

From Carbon School District : "We are grateful to be one of the very few districts in the U.S. to hold in-person school 5 days a week all school year long. We entered the school year with a commitment that "all healthy students need to be in school". Because of our compliance with our reopening plan and all other requirements, this commitment was realized. We are also grateful that our students have been able to participate in most extra-curricular activities and even prom. The Governor, in consultation with the Utah Department of Health, has extended the requirement for wearing masks in our schools until June 15th. Carbon School District is obligated to comply with this mandate. We ask for your support. We do not want to see any non-compliance negatively impact our students being able to participate in all the upcoming learning and activities. With only 7 weeks of school left, let's finish strong with our masks on! For more information on the mask mandate, please visit: https://coronavirus.utah.gov/education/ "

Students and Parents- I have just received confirmation that our 8th grade students will be traveling from Helper to Carbon High on April 8th for registration!!! I can't believe this, the year has gone by so fast! Please plan on having your student here at Helper, on time, on April 8th. (If your student eats breakfast at the school, please ensure that they arrive in time to get breakfast.) We will take roll and then load the buses for our trip to Carbon High School. Students will attend 10 different 15 minute breakout sessions. They will get information from all core classes, CTE, fine arts, health/PE, sports requirements, and foreign language. There will be a 20 minute break mid-morning. At noon students will go to the auditorium for the registration presentation. Students will eat in the cafeteria at 12:45 and then load the buses at 1:15. We will resume their normal schedule for the afternoon. Parents will NOT attend this part of the registration process; however, there will be an opportunity to meet with a high school counselor and attend orientation sometime over the summer. Please look for emails from the high school counselors regarding scheduling and registration. I am excited to help be a part of this transition for the students. If you have any questions or concerns, please email or call me directly. Mrs. Vasquez School Counselor
