HOA IS A NUT-FREE CAMPUS We have a number of students at HOA that have life threatening peanut/nut allergies. Prevention is the best approach. Therefore, we ask your cooperation in not sending any class treats or snacks containing peanut/nut products to school with your child. Please let me know if you have any questions about this, thank you so much for your cooperation.

SCIENCE FAIR BOARDS If your student did not take home their Science Fair display board, please stop by and pick it up the next time you are on campus. Display boards not picked up by the end of the year will be recycled.
MAY FIELDTRIP Students in grades 3-6 are invited to our field trip to the Washington County Museum on Monday, May 20, face-to-face and PE will be cancelled for elementary that day. Your student will need to be at HOA by 10:45, we will return at 1:30. Please have them eat a good breakfast or early lunch as we will not be taking the time to eat lunch while we are away. We have 30 seats available, and I'm looking for 5 chaperones. Please RSVP ASAP for your student and/or yourself if you are able to go. I suspect this trip will fill up quickly, so don't delay. Students must have an RSVP in order to get on the bus.
