SUPERHERO FIELD DAY/END OF THE YEAR CELEBRATION Dress as your favorite superhero! We will be active, so please keep that in mind as you prepare your outfit. Masks are fine, but will need to be removed for game play. June 11 from 12:00-2:00 is our end of the year field day! Parents are invited to come and hang out with us the whole time, or come for the last 30 minutes for the slideshow, autograph signing, and 6th grade clap out. We are looking for donations of fruit and people who would like come that day, cut it up, and serve it. Students are encouraged to bring their own refillable water bottles. Please let me know if you are able to bring fruit and/or prepare and serve it.

A note from Ronda Gatewood, our school counselor:
Hello HOA families! As the year is winding down, I have a bitter-sweet announcement to deliver. I have absolutely loved being your school counselor for the last two years, especially getting to know our elementary students through activities such as Charger Club. Next year I will be leaving HOA and have accepted a position as a school counselor at Witch Hazel Elementary school in the Hillsboro School District. I’m excited to be joining this great school, but I will greatly miss the HOA students and staff.
I would like to introduce to you, Jennifer Fields, who has accepted the position as school counselor at HOA for next year! Jennifer comes to us from Glencoe High School where she has be the School to Career Counselor for the last couple years. Prior to that she has been a teacher in grades 4-12 and an instructor at PCC. I’m thrilled to be leaving my HOA students in such great hands!
For now - best of luck to all of you finishing up the school year! Summer will be here before we know it!
With much care,
Ronda Gatewood
School Counselor
PROJECT PICK-UP If you did not take your student's display board home on the night of the Science Fair, I have them stacked against my desk in the big room. They can be picked up anytime. Any project not picked up by the end of the school year will be recycled.
ENDING THE YEAR WITH ODYSSEYWARE Students will not have access to OdysseyWare over the summer, but they will still be able to use MobyMax and All the Right Type. Currently, student end-dates are set at June 8th in OdysseyWare, one week before the official end of the school year. Elementary students have until June 14 to complete work in OdysseyWare. District laptops can be turned in to Kristina once your students have completed their OdysseyWare work, or sometime during the last week of school, whichever comes first. Please let me know if you have any questions about this.
MRS. KELLAR'S OFFICE HOURS My office hours for next week will be, Monday-Thursday, 8:00-3:00.
