Parents, please be vigilant in having students to school by 8:20am so that testing can begin promptly. Doctor’s appointments and other out-of-school functions should not be scheduled during testing hours.
During testing, students may not be in possession of any electronic devices that can be used for communication, recording, timing, creating images, or storing images. These devices will be collected by test administrators and returned to students after the test session is completed. Failure to comply with these directives will result in disciplinary action. Please see the district electronic device policy for more information.
The SCDE provides a parent resources page and a publicly accessible version of the Online Tools Training to assist parents in preparing their children for SC Ready.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the school.

ACE Incentives
Parents/Guardians 📢
HMS is continuing our ACE Incentives to help motivate students to do their best during SCREADY State Testing in May! If students show up on testing day with a charged Chromebook, display appropriate conduct during the test, and are engaged with the test, then they will receive an ACE ticket for a reward to redeem at lunch.
We are asking for donations to be able to provide all of our ACE recipients with a treat at lunch. The quantities on the signup sheet have been calculated to serve around 1,000 students with Costco/Sam's sized bulk products. Ultimately, we need to have enough for each student to receive a treat each testing day.
Please have the items dropped off at the front office (and labeled ACE Incentives) by April 14th! We appreciate everything you do in supporting our students!
