REMINDER OF SCHOOL POLICY REGARDING NUTS, PLEASE READ 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.

ART CLUB For those students in Group 1, Art Club will start second semester (Feb 5), meeting on Tuesdays from 9:30-11:00. This art club will have a watercolor focus, with special guests coming in a few times to share different mediums. Our new Art Club instructor is Jullane Rich and she is with Influence Music Hall in Downtown Hillsboro. She has taught art classes and children's groups in our area for many years. Due to the preference of our instructor and our space constraints, we will be holding two sessions and limiting the number of students in each session to 15. Group 1 is currently full, but I am still taking rsvp's for Group 2, which will meet April 30, May 7, 14, 21, 28, and June 4.
THE MONTH OF APRIL I wanted to give you a little heads up for a few things coming up in April. I know it seems sooooo far away, but it will be here before we know it. Thursday, April 18, will be our Science Fair Night in the gym. I am preparing the Science Fair packet for this year and will send it home by the middle/end of February (I'll also have a PDF version). This is a 100% at home project, but I will have tri-fold boards to give to all students participating. In addition, if students are registered in Science in Odysseyware, their coursework will be paused from April 1-18 as they work on their project. April is also state testing month for elementary (more detailed schedule will come in March). We will be pausing all clubs in April (with the exception of PE and Group 2 of Art Club starting on April 30). I don't have all the testing details right now, but if you have any questions about the above April topics, please let me know.
