MOBYMAX CONTEST I have created a Quarter 1 MobyMax contest! The student with the most minutes worked in MATH per grade will receive a prize at the end of quarter 1. Fact Fluency and Numbers don't add to the minutes, it's just for the subject titled MATH.
OUTDOOR SCHOOL WEEK SCHEDULE Outdoor School for 6th grade is coming up in a few weeks, October 30-November 1. We will not be having Face-to-Face class on Monday and Tuesday of that week, as well as NO PE on Tuesday October 31 (we will not have access to the gym the whole day). There will be PE and 7th-9th Grade Chess Club on Monday. Our regular schedule will resume on Wednesday November 1 with PE and Elementary Art Club.
NOVEMBER FIELD TRIP Our November field trip to Chief Lelooska in Woodland, Washington (http://lelooska.org/) is on Thursday, November 30 during the AM hours. We should be back around 1:00pm. We have 35 seats reserved, please let me know if your student can make it and if you would like to come as a chaperone. We still have lots of room.
PARENT CONNECT The next Parent Connect meeting is Wednesday, November 1 from 9:00-10:30 here at HOA. Our new Wellness Counselor, Sara Stollberg, will be the special guest speaker. She will tell you a little bit about herself and the services she provides to HOA families. Please join me in welcoming Sara to HOA!
PARENT LOUNGE Are you interested in having a place to hang out at HOA when your students are here onsite? Well, have I got a solution for you! The Nest (where our Parent Connect meetings are), will be open to parents and younger/older homeschooled siblings during hours that students are in activities at HOA. Once activities are over, The Nest will be closed for the day. Please be sure to leave the room as you found it. Let me know if you have any questions.
OREGON BATTLE OF THE BOOKS We are so close to getting an OBOB team started at HOA! We have had two parents step forward as being helpers, but we are still looking for a team leader. If you are interested in helping lead, please let me know.
MRS. KELLAR'S OFFICE HOURS I am here at HOA Monday-Thursday from 8:00-3:00. If you have concerns or questions, please email me and we can set up a time to meet. Pop-ins are generally not encouraged as there is no guarantee that I will be available or at my desk.
