ELEMENTARY CONFERENCES At HOA, we do conferences a bit differently. Since I have more availability than teachers in traditional schools, we have the ability to conference anytime. I will be contacting families this week and early next week to schedule a time to come in if I feel like it's needed. If you don't hear from me directly, that means that I don't see a need to schedule a conference with you at this time. I am open to meeting with anyone anytime, so please contact me if you have concerns or would like to speak to me about your student.
CHECK-IN QUESTION Did you know that you can email questions or concerns to me anytime? Would you like to schedule a conference with me?

MOBYMAX CONTEST QUARTER 2 I have started another MobyMax contest for Quarter 2. This time, students can earn points in MATH, FACT FLUENCY, and NUMBERS. The last day of the contest will be January 31.
VISION SCREENING This coming Tuesday, November 7 at 2:00, there will be a FREE vision screening for HOA students in Kindergarten, 1st, 3rd, and 5th grade. For 3rd and 5th graders, this will be during their PE time, but the test just takes a few minutes and we'll get them back to class as quick as we can. Please let me know if you have any questions.
CHESS TOURNAMENT Our Chess Club has been working hard and is excited to participate in Chess Tournaments this year. Tournaments are completely optional but they are a fun experience and a great way to show off their chess skills. Our first tournament is at Orenco Elementary School on November 18th from 8:00am to 2:00pm, please sign up here http://chessclub.io/102/ . This tournament is a K-8 event, both our elementary and middle school chess clubs can participate. Once you have signed up online please turn in a registration form along with your $5.00 to Mrs. Estrada. Forms are located at the office and have been handed out in Chess Club as well, deadline for registration is November 13th . The $5.00 covers a pizza lunch and awards. Please note, this is not a ‘drop off’ event, a designated adult must be on sight during the tournament. If you have any further questions, please contact Angela Lorenzo via email ([email protected]).
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 about 15 seats remaining, so please let me know if your student can make it. We have had enough parents volunteer to come, thank you so much!
PARENT CONNECT The next Parent Connect meeting is Wednesday, December 6 from 9:00-10:30 here at HOA. If you are interested in helping out with our traditional class parties (Dec 11 and 12 during face-to-face), this would be the Parent Connect meeting to come to! Also, Starbucks coffee and treats will be served.
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.
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.
