HMS intends for its students to become independent, self-aware children who will excel at future levels of education. To accomplish this, HMS emphasizes a multi-age classroom and emotional-social education, even for our youngest students (2 yrs). We are further dedicated to the families of our students, and to being good stewards in our neighborhood and surrounding community. Our teachers' skills are not limited to the classroom. The School Director also conducts Parent Workshops and Parent Conferences. All activities during the school day are provided at no charge above the monthly tuition. Working within a system that provides a low student-teacher ratio, our teachers are dedicated to exploring ways of teaching in order to better serve these goals. 2023-24 was the school's eleventh year in operation. 0 0 0 275870 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 8 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 3 3 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 X Richard Weller 5125542133 211 West Saint Johns Ave Austin TX 78752 Richard Weller Executive Director and Property Owner 50 0 X 74741 0 0 Khuloud Solomon School Director 60 0 X 48342 0 0 Chloe Love President, Board of Directors 0.5 0 X X 0 0 0 Don Simoneaux Treasurer, Board of Directors 0.5 0 X X 0 0 0 Cammie Thomson Secretary, Board of Directors 0.5 0 X X 0 0 0 123083 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6888 0 6888 Tuition Revenue 611110 300186 300186 0 0 0 0 0 0 300186 8025 8025 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 315099 308211 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 99100 84235 14865 0 0 0 0 0 112944 112944 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 16410 15260 1150 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3117 0 3117 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 284 100 184 108 54 54 0 0 0 0 27350 27350 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 15 0 15 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6671 6671 0 0 Building & Grounds, Utilities 7326 7326 0 0 Classroom Expenses 6132 6132 0 0 Parent Appreciation 1748 1748 0 0 Teacher Training and Appreciation 13351 13351 0 0 835 699 136 0 295391 275870 19521 0 17455 14989 338087 353580 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 355542 368569 0 0 24110 17890 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6223 5820 30333 23710 X 325209 344859 0 0 325209 344859 355542 368569 X 19708 0 0 0 -58 0 X 0 0 0 X 3554 Credit Card Balance 2244 Texas Unemployment Payroll Tax 22 5820 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 Schedule E, Part I, Line 3 A legal notice of HMS's non-discrimination policy ran in the Austin Chronicle in the Spring of 2014.
