Schoool - Community Partnership
PTSA The Heidelberg Middle School PTSA (Parent Teacher Student Association) is a self-governing local unit. Membership is open to all students, parents, staff and friends of the Heidelberg Middle School community. Applications are available at all general membership meetings and during school registration. The association is involved in programs, which support and promote the educational endeavors of HMS.
SAC The Heidelberg Middle School Advisory Committee (SAC) provides an open forum for parents to have input regarding school policies and procedures. Parents are invited and encouraged to actively participate in the meetings, which are scheduled at 1530 on the following days: October 4, December 6, February 7, and May 1. Election of parent and teacher representatives to the SAC is held in the beginning of the school year.
School Home Partnership School Home Partnership is an initiative to involve parents in the school. Heidelberg Middle School has always supported programs that have encouraged parent involvement. Open House, parent-teacher conferences, parent-advisory groups, awards programs, classroom volunteers, mentors, parents as resource persons in the classrooms and parent chaperones are just a few of the ways parents are included in the functioning of the school. Research has shown that when parents are involved in the school, the child’s progress always improves. Working in partnership with the parents ensures that all students will learn, achieve and succeed with their education. Be sure to share your email with us so we can send out the newsletter and school information.

Mentoring Program An active adult—student-mentoring program is established at Heidelberg Middle School. This is an extension of our School Home Partnership Program and is supported by our sponsoring units, as well as parents and others in the community. Responsible adults who apply to mentor are screened and provided with a training package prior to the assignment of a mentor. If parents or others in the community are interested in becoming a mentor, contact the Mentoring Coordinator at the school Guidance Office.
