⭐️The Hobbs Municipal Schools HHS Art Show 2026!🖼️
We are very thankful to John and Kelley McMillan and their students for displaying their creative minds through art! The opening reception was on Friday, but after that, all are invited to come out and view the amazing works and talent in our schools throughout the month of April at the Lea County Center for the Arts @ 122 W. Broadway.🎨🖼️
These fantastic staff members within Hobbs Municipal Schools deliver targeted support to students who may need extra help while they work alongside their classroom teachers. Paraprofessionals are the unsung heroes of our education system and we are proud of your dedication to your students and to HMS! Thank you!

Chronic Tardy Academic Impact:
AS PART OF OUR ONGOING COMMITMENT TO STRONG INSTRUCTION AND MAXIMIZING LEARNING TIME FOR ALL STUDENTS, WE ARE IMPLEMENTING A NEW PROCESS CALLED THE CHRONIC TARDY ACADEMIC IMPACT FORM, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.
THIS PROCESS IS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT STUDENT SUCCESS BY ADDRESSING EXCESSIVE UNEXCUSED TARDIES, WHICH CAN SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT LEARNING AND CLASSROOM CONTINUITY.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
AFTER 10 UNEXCUSED TARDIES, A STUDENT WILL RECEIVE A GRADE CAP OF 60% FOR THE SEMESTER.
THIS DOES NOT PREVENT STUDENTS FROM EARNING COURSE CREDIT, BUT IT REFLECTS MISSED INSTRUCTIONAL TIME.
TEACHERS WILL BEGIN DOCUMENTING UNEXCUSED TARDIES TO ENSURE CONSISTENCY AND ACCURACY.
HOW THE PROCESS WORKS:
EACH UNEXCUSED TARDY WILL BE RECORDED WITH A DATE AND THE TEACHER'S INITIALS.
DOCUMENTATION WILL BE REVIEWED BY THE ADMINISTRATION ONCE THRESHOLDS ARE REACHED.
STUDENTS AND PARENTS WILL BE ASKED TO REVIEW AND SIGN THE FORM.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPROVEMENT:
THE GRADE CAP MAY BE REMOVED AFTER 15 CONSECUTIVE SCHOOL DAYS WITH NO TARDIES, ENCOURAGING POSITIVE ATTENDANCE HABITS.
THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE PUNITIVE. OUR GOAL IS TO REINFORCE THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING ON TIME, PRESENT, AND READY TO LEARN EVERY DAY.
WE APPRECIATE YOUR PARTNERSHIP IN HELPING STUDENTS BUILD STRONG HABITS THAT LEAD TO ACADEMIC SUCCESS. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT TO YOUR ASSIGNED ADMINISTRATOR.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

This is an annual, school-focused celebration held around March 2nd (the author's birthday) to promote reading, often aligning with National Read Across America Day. It features themed, book-based dress-up days—such as wearing stripes, crazy socks, or green—alongside classroom activities, crafts, and reading sessions to foster a love for literacy!

Clovis Wildcats took third place with 82 points. Our girls' team delivered another impressive performance, securing third place, narrowly edged out by Clovis and Artesia.

February Attendance Challenge and Attendance March Madness:
Greetings Everyone!
For the month of February, each school will be competing for the best overall attendance in the district and we can earn bonus points by participating in the Slam Dunk for Charity.
Here’s how it works:
Each week, students can bring in specific items to earn bonus points. These points will help boost our attendance percentage and improve our seeding for Attendance March Madness. Counselors have shared details in each grade level Google Classroom, and announcements will also include information provided by CTech.
Students who choose to participate should bring their items to their 4th period class. Toward the end of each day, student workers will collect the items and place them in the College and Career Center. The items will then be picked up every Friday morning, so days the students are able to bring in items will be Monday thru Thursday.
Let's make this a fun and successful challenge for our students!
