About Our School
BULLYING, HARASSMENT, AND SAFETY POLICIES
All learners are welcomed, accepted, and protected against harassment or discrimination at HMS as we celebrate the diversity of our students, staff and families. We are committed to providing a caring, friendly and safe environment for all of our students so they can learn in a relaxed and secure atmosphere. Bullying/harassment of any kind is unacceptable at our school. If bullying/harassment does occur, all students are expected to self advocate and communicate immediately to faculty and staff, where it will be a priority to address it.
EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Being connected to our school in activities that go beyond the classroom can greatly improve chances for success and improve one's overall school experience.

Henley Middle School believes parent engagement is an ongoing process that will increase active participation, communication, and collaboration between parents and schools. We believe that parents, schools, families and communities working together will create meaningful partnerships that lead to gains in student achievement.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Raising the next generation is a shared responsibility. When families, communities and schools work together, students are more successful and the entire community benefits. Our educators engage with community members and leaders to support healthy, future focused activities and events for students and their families.

In 2022, Altitude
Beverages was a semifinalist at the Bend Venture Conference and has continued to work with EDCO for mentorship and access to funding. With a growing number of consumers looking to incorporate functional ingredients into their routine, Altitude Beverages’ shelf-stable, canned products are poised for growth and are now available in about 500 stores across 13 states.
