FALL FUN FRIENDZY On Thursday, October 25, from 3:15-5:00 we will be having our first FALL FUN FRIENDZY for students in grades 3-12 in our gym. There will be a DJ, pumpkin decorating, board games, and food! This is NOT a dress-up party and there is no cost to attend, just come and have fun!
PICTURE RETAKES Picture retakes are October 23 from 12:00-2:00 on the stage in the gym.
HALLWAY CALENDAR Kristina has added an awesome new weekly calendar in the hallway at HOA for on-site activities to help keep everyone in the loop. It includes elementary and secondary activities and is updated every Monday.
ELEMENTARY CONFERENCES This year for conferences, I would like to meet with all first year HOA families, and returning families on a case-by-case basis. Reasons to meet with a returning family would be academic or behavior concerns, either on your part or mine. Since we don't need to wait until November, I would like to go ahead and start getting these one-on-one conferences scheduled. Be on the lookout for an email from me in the next few weeks. If you do not receive an email from me, but would like to make an appointment with me, please reach out.

OLD NEWS*******************************************************************
FACE-TO-FACE CLASS (FORMERLY ODYSSEYWARE SUPPORT) The Face-to-Face class on Mondays from 11:00-12:00 is open to elementary students in grades 3-6, including homeschool. Students will start the class with class pledges and a mini-class meeting to discuss the events of the week. For the remainder of the time, teachers and assistants will be available to work one-on-one with students needing assistance in an Odysseyware course. Homeschool students should bring work from home or a book to read. Students should plan on arriving at 11:00 and staying the whole time. Parents are not required to stay. Please have your student bring a snack and their laptop.
ATTENDANCE POLICY Similar to the previous years, your student will still need 2 check-ins per week, each counting for 2.5 days. Things that count as check-ins are attendance at on-site activities, emails or messages from parent or student, face-to-face meetings, and phone calls. Any combination will work, just ensure that you get in two before the end of the week. If you have any questions about this, please let me know.
PARENT CONNECT Our next Parent Connect Meeting is Monday, November 5 from 11:00-12:30. Please contact our Homeschool Consultant, Angela Lorenzo, with any questions, [email protected], or counselor, Jennifer Fields, [email protected].
Have a great week!
