Dear Parents,
Greetings! Governor McMaster’s order to shutdown public schools has caused Beaufort County School District to move to an e-learning/virtual learning platform. The School Counseling Office at HHIMS wants to recognize the anxiety and concern that this may cause students and families as we enter a critical time in the school year. Please know:
School Counselors are available and able to communicate with you through technology. Please do not hesitate to reach out to your counselor (see listing below). We only ask for your patience as we all adjust to this new learning environment.

- Students are expected to log in to their google classrooms to obtain assignments and instructions on a daily basis. Students can also reach out to their teachers (as well as counselors) via email with questions. Students should check their school email daily!
If you run into a problem or a concern that something is not working for you please do not hesitate to reach out to your Counselor so she can point you in the right direction or provide necessary information.
