A reminder to all student drivers: All student have been assigned. If you need to pick yours up, stop by the main office. Please have your placard displayed on your rearview mirror. Be sure to drive safely, especially in the neighborhood around the school. The Hingham Police Department has received several complaints recently about speeding on Union Street and Pleasant Street, so you can expect a heightened level of supervision and enforcement of the speed limit.
This is a friendly reminder that, during lunch, all HHS students, regardless of grade, are welcome to sit outdoors at the picnic tables behind the cafeteria. Fresh air is good for you, so feel free to take advantage of “al fresco dining” whenever you want to get outside at lunch time.
