Holiday Gift Card Donations
As the holiday season approaches, we would like to share kindness and bring joy to students in our HMS community who could use a little extra support. If you are able, please consider signing up to donate gift cards in $10 increments to Walmart, Target, Kohl’s, or TJ Maxx.
These gift cards will provide holiday gifts for children in our school, so we kindly ask to not send in gifts cards for food or restaurants.
Please send all gift cards to the HMS front office by December 4.
Thank you for your generosity and care for our students. Your kindness can help make the holidays a little brighter for our HMS students. See link below to sign up to donate.

All Greenville County students have the opportunity to apply for the full-time Virtual Program. The initial application for the 2027-2028 GCS Virtual Program opens at 8:00 AM on Sunday, November 1, 2026, and will continue through 11:59 PM on Monday, March 1, 2027. To apply, students must be enrolled in Greenville County Schools, and parents must have a BackPack account. **The Virtual Program will not be offered for Specialized/Magnet Programs such as Charles Townes Center, Language Immersion, and preschool programs or the most intensive special education services, which is typically referred to as self-contained programming. **
**If your student is currently attending the Virtual Program for the current school year (26-27) and you want them to participate in the Virtual Program for the 27-28 school year, you MUST APPLY AGAIN. Your student WILL NOT automatically be enrolled in the Virtual Program for the 27-28 school year.**
Acceptance into the Virtual Program is not guaranteed just by applying through BackPack. Student’s grades, attendance, previous performance in the Virtual Program, and schedule/credit needs will all play a factor in whether a student is accepted or declined for the 2026-2027 school year.
The application window is for those who are certain they want students to participate in the Virtual Program next fall. The Virtual Program will be staffed based on this early sign-up. Greenville County Schools will reopen the window during the second semester to create a waitlist. Students on the waitlist will be scheduled based on space availability in the Virtual Program.
We will email notifications of acceptance and Virtual Program contracts by Monday, March 15th, 2027. Students in the Virtual Program will be scheduled based on grade level and academic record.
Students will be expected to participate daily in live sessions at scheduled times with their cameras on and their faces visible. Those who fail to do so will be marked absent and are subject to truancy consequences. Exceptions are based on extenuating circumstances and must be pre-approved in advance by a Virtual Program Administrator. Students accepted into the Virtual Program for the 2027-2028 school year WILL NOT be eligible for Magnet Academies or changes in assignment choice. If a student is approved for a magnet or choice slot after being accepted into the Virtual Program, parents must state their intent by the deadline or forfeit their Choice/Magnet slot.
