    New Student Tours

    Counselors will offer new student tours a few different times over the summer. Dates will be posted before the end of the school year. 

    Also, on the first day of school, there will be student tour guides ready to assist any students that are new to our building, or anyone returning that would like a refresher. Students will go to the HVMS Cafeteria where they will pick up their schedule, and then they will be paired with a tour guide if desired. Tour Guides will follow your child's schedule and show them around to where each of their classes will be held. Teachers are great about being in the hallways and will also help direct your child during the first couple of weeks should they have any questions.
