Dear Parents and Guardians, We hope this message finds you well. As part of Halifax County Middle School's ongoing commitment to providing a rich and engaging educational experience for our students, we are currently in the process of selecting a new literature textbook for our middle school curriculum. We value your input and would like to invite you to participate in the review process (May 20-29 from 9:00am-2:00pm). This is a wonderful opportunity to share your thoughts and help ensure the materials we choose best support student learning and reflect our school’s educational values. We will provide a paper survey for you to provide feedback about your review of the textbooks. Thank you for your time, consideration, and input.

Mrs. Bowers-Stanley, Mrs. Medley, and Mrs. Mitchell would like to thank the Halifax Education Foundation for funding our Tune Into Learning Mini-Grants for the purchase of audiobooks to support literacy in our school. We are pleased to announce that HCMS has launched its Digital Library with titles pulled directly from each grade level's curriculum to support language arts instruction and have seen active engagement with these digital resources from teachers as well as students! The images show all of the audiobook titles purchased for this project and one way the audiobooks have been used in Ms. Adams English 6 class to support instruction with reading novels!
