After School Program - Hesston Middle School. At Hesston Middle School, we believe strongly in instilling the value of responsibility with the way we approach educating students.

After School Program - Hesston Middle School

Working to teach responsibility to our students has become one of our “Pillars” or core values that will benefit students long after they leave HMS. One of the most common ways students struggle to demonstrate responsibility is by failing to complete assignments. Because learning responsibility is critical for student success throughout middle school, high school and beyond, we have developed an after school program as a way to address the growing concern of missing or incomplete assignments which ultimately can lead to student failure. The purpose of this letter is to provide details of this new after school program and offer guidelines for understanding the principles behind it. If a student fails to complete his/her work for a class, he/she would then be required to stay after school until 4:00 pm to finish the assignment(s).
