Still interested in Washington D.C. Fieldtrip?
Dear Parents/Guardians,
If you were unable to attend the parent informational meeting for the Washington, D.C. trip last night but are still interested, all of the materials have been linked on the school website under “Resources.” Mrs. Shubert has kindly uploaded everything there, and this link should take you directly to the information: DC Trip Information.
Additionally, one of our parents is looking into organizing more fundraising opportunities, such as sales or raffles, to help offset costs. We want every student who is interested in attending to have the chance to go, and we do not want finances to be the main obstacle.
If a significant financial hardship is preventing your child from registering, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me, Mrs. Gates, or Mrs. Scroggs. We will gladly explore available options, including possible financial scholarships, to help make this trip possible for your student.
Thank you for your support,
Pamela Broome and Carrie Scroggs
Please READ the Chromebook CARE. Students are responsible for lost or damaged chromebooks.
Dress Code Reminders - HNGA
Parents and guardians, we have begun enforcing the student dress code.
A few issues that we have observed during the first few weeks of school have been shorts, skirts, and dresses not meeting the length requirement. According to the dress code all shorts (male and female), skirts, and dresses can be no shorter than a student's fingertips with their hands by their side. In addition, there should be no holes in pants higher than a student's fingertips with their hands by their side, and pajama pants are not appropriate for school. Please take the time to read the dress code in its entirety.
Also, shirts must be long enough to extend beyond the top of the pants, shorts, or skirt. No cleavage or undergarments should be exposed.
Students not adhering to the dress code will be asked to change clothes if they have another option with them, or a parent will be contacted to bring a change of clothes to the school. Thank you in advance for your support as we endeavor to create a wholesome environment focused on student learning.

Electronic Devices/Cell Phones
Students are to have their electronic communication devices and other electronic media turned off and put away upon entering the school, throughout the school day, and until they leave the school each day. A student using a cell phone outside of instructional purposes (including, but not limited to use in commons’ areas, cafeteria, restrooms, locker rooms, and hallways) will result in the following consequences:
• First Offense: Cell phone will be confiscated and returned to the student at the end of the school day.
• Second Offense: Cell phone will be confiscated and returned to a parent at the end of the school day.
• Third or additional Offenses: Cell phone will be confiscated and returned to a parent at the end of the school day. The student will also serve one day in In School Suspension (ISS).
Students who repeatedly violate the cell phone policy may be required to leave their cell phone in the office at the beginning of each school day.
Students are not permitted to video, take pictures of, or audio record other students violating any section of the Code of Conduct.
