The Fall Gifted and Talented nomination period begins on September 1st, 2020. Parent referral forms can accessed at the following links: https://bit.ly/3bbiSX0 and https://bit.ly/2Gb8HpX (Spanish version). If possible, please send referral forms via email to slucas@harmonytx.org no later than September 30th (instead of turning them into the front office). If you do not have a printer or are unable to access the forms, please email Mrs. Lucas so that other arrangements can be made.

Students must be in the 80th percentile and above in at least one of their MAP tests in order to qualify for CogAT testing, which is used to determine eligibility for the Gifted and Talented program. Kindergarten students may be tested twice per year (Fall and Spring), but all other students may only test once per academic school year. Should you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Lucas at slucas@harmonytx.org.

MAP testing will continue through September 28th for students who did not finish their test or were absent during testing. Students and teachers will be emailed with the day and time of their test. This will be done in small groups during the school day via Zoom.

Right now 5E is in 1st place!

There are a few classes right behind them though – 2D, 4B, KB & KC!

If you know other parents at HSA, please encourage them to join our PTO! There is absolutely no time commitment required, especially this year. This might be our only way to raise funds for our school this year and your $5 is very much appreciated. ♥

Welcome to the 2020 school year! This year will be challenging, with many changes in education and the world at large. To help you navigate the School Health specific challenges for this year, we would like to make you aware of the following:

Regardless of attendance on campus or virtually, your child is required by state law to submit completed vaccine records or original copy of the affidavit of reasons of conscience from the state to be enrolled. For current students, the deadline for submission was August 17th. For newly enrolled students, the deadline for submission is September 16th. After these dates the campus will be required to unenroll your student. Please make sure complete copies of your records are submitted before this deadline.

To reduce risk of exposure to students and staff, students will be seen for medications and scheduled treatments or illness concerns or scheduled appointments only. Students who display signs of illness will be quarantined and must be picked up by the parent within 1 hour. Students who do not display signs of illness needing quarantining will be returned to class. This helps us keep students who are ill from unintentionally infecting students who are healthy during clinic visits. Thank you for your support.

The State mandated screenings for students in targeted grades is still being required for this school year. If you have selected distance learning, you will be contacted regarding your child’s screening appointment in the near future. If you would prefer your child to not be screened they will need to have their doctor’s screening evaluations for the age and grade appropriate screening submitted to the clinic before the screening date.

Health guidelines including plans to keep your child healthy can be found in the Harmony Public Schools Back to School Playbook here: https://www.harmonytx.org/play
