Dear Families,

We are thankful!

As we prepare to take a short break from school for Thanksgiving, we want to express our gratitude for everyone who makes it possible for as many students as possible to come to school every day, on time, ready to learn. We thank:

• Our students and families for making daily attendance a priority since they know the habit of attendance will help them do well in the classroom and eventually in a job.

• Our wonderful teachers who pour their energy into making each classroom an exciting place for exploration and knowledge so children do not want to miss out on learning

• Our support staff and community volunteers who provide the extra hands and attention our children need

We appreciate each one of you so much. We look forward to seeing you after the Thanksgiving holiday. We also hope you will keep in mind that school is closed on Monday, November 23, 2020 thru Friday, November 27, 2020 and reopens Monday, November 30, 2020.

We especially appreciate everyone’s efforts to avoid taking extra days off during the Thanksgiving holiday. Just a few missed days here and there, even if they’re excused absences, can add up to too much lost learning time and leave your child behind in school. This is as true in kindergarten as it is in high school.

Sincerely,

Harmony School of Technology

Dear HST Parents/Guardians and Students!

Please be advised that next Tuesday, November 3rd, is Election Day. There will be no in-school or remote instruction on Tuesday, November 3rd, for parent-teacher conferences. Students (onsite and virtual) will not attend school on the 3rd during the parent-teacher conference day. Parent-teacher meetings will be held from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. using Google Meet video conferencing.

Teachers will send their conference information to all of our families, so please check your emails if you don’t want to miss this opportunity to meet with your child’s teachers. Can’t schedule something for the 3rd? No worries! Contact your child’s teacher(s) to set something up for an alternative date.

There will be no virtual after-school clubs on that day.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact us at any time. Thank you for your continued support

Dear HST Family,

At HST, we value every aspect of education. We believe that a student’s education goes far beyond just teaching them reading, math, and science, but is also about teaching them how to be helpful and productive citizens in an ever changing world. We do this by embedding social-emotional learning and character education into every classroom and experience at school. 

Over the past few years, we developed and began using the acronym ROAR (Respect, Organized, Achieve, Ready to Learn) to help reinforce the values and expectations on campus. Those that are attending school on campus will see this acronym (like the image below) in the classrooms, hallways, and cafeteria. Those that are attending school virtually will see the acronym displayed in their schoology courses and possibly as part of their teacher’s virtual classroom.

In order to better serve our students, we would like to understand what each word in the ROAR acronym represents to all the people that make up our school community. For this reason, we are asking all parents, students, and teachers to fill out this survey to give us feedback on what Respect, Organized, Achieve, and Ready to Learn means to them. The survey is only five questions and should take less than ten minutes to fill out. 

Thank you for helping us to improve every student’s educational experience at HST.
