FACEBOOK SPIRIT DAYS We are going to pause Spirit Days next week just to give you all a little break. Instead, there will be a focus on something new happening at HOA or end of the year news items. Everything announced in the Facebook group will be included in this email, so as long as you read this email, you will not miss out on anything new.
ZOOM PARENT CONNECT MEETING There will be another Zoom Parent Connect Meeting this coming Monday, May 11, at 11:00, with Angela Lorenzo, our Homeschool Consultant. I will send a separate with the link and password, and additional instructions. Please let Angela know if you have any questions, [email protected].
K-2 PROGRAM STARTING 2020-2021 SCHOOL YEAR I am so excited to announce that we are in the beginning stages of planning an expanded K-2 program at HOA for the 2020-2021 school year! I don't have specifics yet, but we are planning for an online component and additional on-site opportunities for K-2. If you have a K-2 student and are interested, please go to the link below and fill out the Intent to Enroll form. Current K-2 families that are planning on returning in the Fall, if you could fill out the Intent to Enroll form, that would be great. Please share this news with your friends and anyone you know that might be interested.

SPRING READING CHALLENGE We kicked off a Spring Reading Challenge and it's not too late to jump in. 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 The 2020 HOA Science Fair has been cancelled. 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.
SIXTH GRADE FORECASTING If your 6th grade 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. If you do not recall receiving an email about forecasting last week, or have questions, please contact Kristina, [email protected], or Annie Hindman, [email protected].
I hope you all have a great week! As always, please let us know if you need anything.
