Dismissal time is
5:00 p.m.
and we ask that all parents wait outside the school building when picking up
their child. This allows
dismissal to run in a smooth and orderly fashion for the moderator.

Student Council
-
-
Student Council promotes leadership,
service, and spirit among HMS students. Student Council members
organize service projects and fundraisers to benefit a variety of charities
throughout the school year. The members encourage their fellow
students to actively participate in these service projects, leading by their
own example. Past service projects have included canned good
collections, Operation Santa Claus, and a snow-shoveling service for elderly
parishioners. Student Council also holds “school spirit” events to
help foster a sense of fun and family among HMS students. These include the Catholic Schools Week Tombola, a school talent show, and other activities
during the school year as chosen by the council members.
-
-
Students in Grades 4-8 are eligible to run for Student Council and are
elected by their classmates. One student in Grades 4-6 respectively is
elected as a Student Council representative. The offices of vice
president, secretary, and treasurer are elected from Grades 7-8, while the
Student Council president is elected from Grade 8. Elections are held
during the fall of each school year and elected members serve, under the
guidance of a faculty member, for the course of the school year.

C.Y.O.
- Catholic Youth Organization
Holy
Martyrs C.Y.O. Sports are offered to parish children in fourth grade
through high school, regardless of their skill level.
The
sports programs include baseball, basketball, football,
softball, track, and volleyball.
C.Y.O. is set apart from other athletic organizations by its ability to incorporate Catholic values in conjunction with athletic
activities. This
encourages good sportsmanship and the spirit of competition while at
the same time fostering self-confidence and social growth. The
primary fundraiser for our C.Y.O. Sports teams is the annual “Nite
at the Races.” The
profits cover the vast
majority of expenses necessary to run the program, thereby keeping
costs low for families. At
the end of the school year, there is an awards breakfast to honor the
athletes,
along with their
families and coaches, for support of and participation in the many Holy Martyrs
C.Y.O. programs.
In
addition, C.Y.O. dances are held at area parishes and Holy Martyrs
Students are invited to attend these fun, parent-supervised events.

Montgomery
County Intermediate Unit
Services
Montgomery
County Intermediate Unit (M.C.I.U.), under Act 89, provides speech, remedial
reading and mathematics, guidance, and counseling services to the students of
Holy Martyrs School.
Speech-Language
Services
If
a parent or teacher is concerned with a student's speech or language skills,
the child may be referred for screening and testing. If he or she meets
the eligibility criteria, the student will be scheduled for therapy. An
M.C.I.U. clinician will work with students during school hours once or twice
weekly.
Remedial
Reading and Mathematics
Remedial
instruction in basic reading and/or mathematics skills is provided to students
through a comprehensive program of referral, diagnosis, prescription, and
instruction by remedial specialists employed by the M.C.I.U. Frequency and
length of instruction are determined by the unique needs of the student.
The remedial specialists work with the classroom teachers, administrators, and
parents to provide a program that directly supplements the regular school
curriculum.
Guidance
and Counseling Services
Parents,
teachers, administrators, or the students themselves may request guidance and
counseling services. M.C.I.U. counselors work with students individually
and/or in small groups to assist them in solving personal and school problems,
as well as in identifying individual needs. The school psychologist may
also provide short-term or individual counseling relating to school adjustment
problems, learning difficulties, peer/teacher relationships, home-related
problems, and social and emotional problems.
