***TRANSFERS*** If your student(s) intends to be at HOA next year, please submit your transfer continuation form to Kristina ASAP (this is for full time online, part time online, AND homeschool track students).

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. 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.
