Welcome to Hunter's Creek Middle School!
December 20, 2021
Thank you Hunter’s Creek Middle School Family for successfully finishing an incredible first half of the school year! The journey was not smooth, but as a team, our amazing teachers, staff, and parents worked very hard together to remove every bump in the way that hinders the learning of our Eagles. Your support, empathy and kindness during these times are certainly making the positive difference. I am grateful to be working alongside the best faculty and staff, parents and community.
The third quarter of the academic year starts on Tuesday, January 4th. On this day, we will be welcoming back our Eagles for a very busy second half of the 2021-2022 academic year. HCMS Basketball Tryouts will also start on January 4th.
During this holiday season, I encourage you to donate to our virtual food drive sponsored by Mrs. Perez and the Academic Advanced classes which benefits the Second Harvest Food Bank. Details are shown below. Thank you very much.
I hope everyone enjoys a much deserved relaxing and rejuvenating holiday break. We can’t wait to welcome 2022 with a fresh restart!
Stay safe and healthy.
In Eagle Pride,
Joumana Moukaddam
Proud Principal

I am excited to share this great news about free on-demand tutoring called OLET (Orange Live Electronic Tutor).OLET is only available to students within the Innovation Office in grades 6, 7, and 8. Most importantly, your student has access to (OLET) a free certified virtual math teacher tutor Mon - Thurs from 5:00-9:00 pm. Students will log into Canvas and locate the OLET 21-22 Canvas course. Students will click on Schedule Here and then follow the directions on the left side titled, How to book an appointment with a math tutor. It is very important that students use their OCPS email, which is their student number @students.ocps.net, to book their appointment since the virtual Microsoft Teams meeting link to join their appointment will be sent to their OCPS email.
OLET supports students during hours when teachers are typically unavailable and parents are working. This additional layer of support will help students stay on track and build important math skills. The OLET tutors will provide personal and flexible support to enhance the educational experience for our OCPS families to help keep students feeling supported and connected. Book your appointment now, tutor schedules are filling up quickly.
