Upcoming Events
Good Afternoon Parents & Guardians, We had an excellent first week back at school! Both students and parents have done a great job with drop-off and dismissal procedures. Thank you so much. This is a friendly reminder that our school day starts promptly at 8am with our pledges and announcements. It is hard on students to walk into a classroom late and hard on the teacher and the class when students come in late. ***Don't forget to look at our schedule of events at the bottom of this email. We have 2 dress up days next week! 2023-2024 Application Now Open: The application for NEW students for the 23-24 school year is now open and available on our website. We love getting new students referred to us by current families so please invite friends to fill out an application! Current families will get an intent to return email in February, you do not need to fill out a new application for your current HPA student. Purple Out Day! To support our local college team playing in the National Championship Football game on Monday night we are having a "Purple Out" Day!

Living Wax Museum: Attention 3rd - 5th grade parents! We are very excited to start getting ready for our Living Wax Museum. All 3rd-5th graders will be participating. Students will research a famous person for Black History Month. They will research their life, accomplishments, and contributions to society. This will mostly be an at-home project. The students will dress up as the person he/she reads about and present an oral report in the first-person form. On Monday, a packet will be sent home with all the information you will need. I will be sending a link to you all also. Please be on the lookout for this information as it involves parent signatures and work to be done at home. The Living Wax Museum will take place on February 23rd. The 3rd-grade classes presentations will be done in the 3rd-grade classrooms and the 4th and 5th classes will be presented in our halls with a time slot for parents and families to be able to come to see it in person. Can't wait to see our students come to life in the Living Wax Museum. More information about LWM will be sent home with students on Monday!
