Maybe you’ve already heard this from your Lumberjack, but this week grades opened. When you log on to MyHebron and navigate to the Progress tab, students and their adults can now view cumulative grades for this semester. Teachers have been helping students understand their grades, how they are determined, and the best way to impact them in the month that remains in the semester. Students have been excited to see this snapshot of where they stand – and are taking a deep breath as they realize their grade and then settling themselves in to doing the work that will carry them through December 20. 

We have completed our 10th week of classes! HAMS students continue to keep busy with classes and activities.  As the fall sports season winds down, we encourage students to look ahead to the winter sports and activity season which begins after Thanksgiving break. Students were recently sent a survey which asks them to list their preference for an activity for the winter season. Until then, we encourage students to focus on their academics and also participate in the HAMS food drive! Advisory letters, which recap each student’s progress so far, along with midpoint grades, are now available on MyHebron.

We’ve had a busy week! HALLOWEEN was a lot of fun as we were costumed on Friday, played horror movies all weekend long, hosted trick-or-treating, and had one last blast of holiday gear on Monday. We’ve also been appreciating Dr. Tobey’s display in the School Building honoring the Day of the Dead. 

We have completed our 9th week of classes! With all aspects of school life in full swing, HAMS students continue to work at balancing their school work, homework, after school activities and free and social time. We will continue to encourage them to prioritize their academic work so that they can better enjoy their free time. Grades for the fall semester midterm closed on Friday, October 21st and teachers and advisors have completed the midterm grade reports. Advisory letters, which will recap each student’s progress so far, along with midpoint grades, will available on MyHebron beginning Monday, November 7th.

The Phillips' invited the Middle School students over for a fun game night!  It was a blast, and the students had a great time, and I think they beat Mr. Phillips!

The first Hebron Academy Writing Contest of the year asked students to reflect on a quote from Wallace Stegner describing "that old September feeling," the opportunity each new school year offers us. We were delighted by the number of students who submitted their work to the contest. Students wrote with great emotion about their first couple weeks at Hebron.

We have completed our 8th week of classes! With all aspects of school life in full swing, HAMS students continue to work at balancing their school work, homework, after school activities and free and social time. We will continue to encourage them to prioritize their academic work so that they can better enjoy their free time. Grades for the fall semester midterm closed on Friday, October 21st and teachers and advisors are working on the midterm grade reports.

Patrick Phillip's leadership was recognized in an Installation Ceremony on October 6th. Patrick, Board Chairman Matthew Lyness ‘76, and Abigail McDonald ‘23 all spoke. The student body, faculty and staff enjoyed a great meal outdoors under the Homecoming tent and were surprised with a fireworks display afterwards.

It's a beautiful and warm, autumn day in Maine- sunny and 65 degrees, but winter is coming, and that means skiing and snowboarding season is upon us! In this document you will find updates to our snow sport programs, crucial information about our skiing and snowboarding options as a winter sport, and the corresponding fees.
