MIDDLE SCHOOL FAMILIES:

Parents, please complete the parent survey by August 29th.

You will receive additional parent and student survey links from Huntsville City Schools via email. These are NOT the same surveys! Please complete the surveys above as well as the ones you receive via email as you are able. Thank you!

If you are not receiving out communication, it is likely that you have not completed or submitted your child's 2024-2025 school registration. You will need your child's Snap Code to register. Please make sure you have complete that tonight.

We have been in contact with families who have not completed registration.

As you all know, we have several different types of safety drills that we practice at school. We do everything we can on our end to ensure that students are prepared and do not feel afraid. This book was shared with us this summer and we wanted to share it with you! It is a really helpful and child friendly way of sharing a tough and scary topic with our children.

We will practice our lockdown drill NEXT Tuesday so please take a moment to share this with your children and help us ease their fears or concerns before we practice.

Parents, please follow our morning procedures:

1. Drop your children off in the car rider line before 8:00 am.
2. There is no parent walk in after the first day of school.
3. If you arrive at school at or after 8:00 am, you must park in the front and walk your child/children into the building. The carline closes to all students except Pre-K at 8:00 and the back doors will be locked.
4. If you are in the car rider line, please do not block the neighbor's driveways.
5. Please have your student prepared to exit the car once you are stopped past the big blue dumpster to help speed up the carline. Please do not allow your children to get out of the car if you have not yet reached the big blue dumpster.

This is for everyone's safety! Thank you!

Please don't block the left lane of the carline pickup from 2:30 to 3:00 to allow for Pre-K carline to pull around.

We mistakenly posted that there is a $35 fee for laptops. This is incorrect! If you have already sent the fee money in, it will be returned ASAP. If not, please do not send money. Sorry for the confusion!

Parents,

Below is the link to Artsonia where you can view and purchase your students art work. Students who had a piece of artwork in last years glow show have accounts created. If your student is new to AAA or did not have work in the Glow show we will get their accounts created as work is completed during Art this year. If you have any questions or problems getting logged in please email Shannon.Jackson@hsv-k12.org
