PICK-UP Elementary students at HOA should not be on campus unless they are here for a supervised activity, or are being supervised by a parent/guardian. Please plan on picking up your students promptly at the conclusion of the final activity for the day. If you are unable to be here on time for pick-up, please let us know.
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. 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.

FACEBOOK GROUP If you are on Facebook but not in the group, and would like to be, please reply and let me know and I will send an email invite.
FALL CONFERENCES If you've been a part of the school district before, you know that Fall means conferences. I would like to touch base with you all, via email or in-person, sometime in the next two weeks. If your student is in the Homeschool Track (no online classes), I do not need to meet with you. However, if any Homeschool Track parents have a concern that they would like to discuss, please let me know, I am happy to meet! If your student is enrolled in online classes with me through Odysseyware, I will be reaching out via email in the next few days to let you know if we need to schedule an in-person meeting, or if email is sufficient. Please let me know if you have any questions.
DISTRICT POLICY FOR VISITORS ON CAMPUS Parents and other adults are always welcome in the building. Please enter through the main doors and check in at the main office. All other doors are to remain locked during the school day. All visitors are required to wear visitor identification tags when on our campus during a school day. As a courtesy to staff, please provide advanced notification if you wish to visit classes. You do not need to sign in if you are only here for drop-off/pick-up.
