This is also a great time to get your Continuation Transfers in to the district, if you have not done so already. Spots are filling up! I have included the link below:

**************************************************************************
SIXTH GRADE FORECASTING If your student is going to be going to a different middle school next year, please contact the counseling department at that school to begin the forecasting process for next year. Students staying at HOA whose continuation transfers have been approved should have received information about HOA forecasting on Tuesday. If you did not, or have questions, please contact Kristina, [email protected], or Annie Hindman, [email protected].
SPRING READING CHALLENGE We are kicking off a Spring Reading Challenge today! The challenge is for students to read 20 books by June 7 and is open to all currently enrolled Kinder-6th grade HOA students. Books can be read silently, they can be audiobooks, and even books read aloud, I'm flexible.
SCIENCE FAIR We have officially cancelled the 2020 HOA Science Fair. Students who would like to still complete a project will get credit, students who choose not to participate will not be penalized. All Science students, however, will receive credit for having turned in a proposal since that was due March 9, before this all happened. Grades for the proposal (100 if it was turned in, 50 if it was not) will show up as a Special Project in the Science unit that was covered in March, grades for the project, if completed, will show up in the current unit as Special Project. If students do complete a project, please submit photos of the completed work so we can make a slideshow for our first ever virtual science fair! If you have any questions about any of this, please let me know.
