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.
NEW NEWS****************************************************************
FIELD TRIP TO NEW SEASONS We have a grades 3-6 field trip coming upon Tuesday, January 28 from 10:00-11:30 at the New Season grocery store in Orenco Station. ***Unfortunately, we will not have use of a school bus, so this will be parent drop-off/pick-up AT NEW SEASONS. I do need rsvp's for this field trip due to space limitations at the store (40 people max), so please let me know ASAP if your student will be attending. Parents dropping off students should not plan on staying. I am not in need of additional chaperones at this time. Please let me know if you have any questions about this field trip, I recognize that the protocols are a little different this time.
CLUB CANCELLATION Due to the field trip on January 28, Messy Art will be cancelled. PE and Handwriting Club will go on as scheduled.
PARENT CONNECT Monday, January 13, 11:00 - 12:00ish - Join us for our Parent Connect meeting in the North Nest. As always there will be coffee and treats! Please email Angela Lorenzo with any questions, [email protected].
