Cold Weather Attendance Reminder Letter
Dear HPS Parents and Guardians,
This letter is to remind you of our current procedures regarding absences due to medical reasons.
If your student is feeling sick while at school, it is mandatory for them to visit the Health Aide before they can be sent home to ensure that any necessary care is provided promptly. If it is necessary to send the student home due to illness, the health aide will notify the parent/guardian. Any attempts to sign-out due to illness without the attention of the health aide will result in an unexcused absence.
Absences exceeding three or more days due to illness, require a note from a healthcare provider in order for the absences to be excused.
As a reminder, students are expected to be present for a minimum of 90% of each class to receive credit and actively participate in their education.
Your cooperation and understanding in this matter are highly appreciated. These measures will contribute to a healthier and more productive learning environment for our students.
Sincerely,
Sabri Unal
Campus Principal

🎉 Learning in Action: 9th Grade Biology Class! 🔬
Our 9th-grade Biology students brought science to life with a hands-on activity exploring Meiosis! 🧬
After reviewing the theory in a previous lesson, students worked together to model the stages of meiosis using creative materials like paper and string. Each group carefully followed instructions to complete their models, helping them deepen their understanding of this essential biological process. 🧵📄
Hands-on learning like this makes complex concepts come alive! Great job, 9th graders! 👏✨

Attendance Matters
Please remember that if your child is unable to attend school due to illness or other unavoidable
circumstances, it is required that you communicate with our school office by creating an absence request in Skyward or emailing Pmarez@harmonytx.org. For an absence to be considered excused, it must align with the criteria outlined in the HPS handbook regarding excusable reasons for absence. Your timely communication allows us to maintain accurate attendance records and ensure that your child receives any necessary support or accommodations.
Every day counts, and your support reinforcing this message is greatly appreciated. Thank you
for your continued partnership in your child’s education. Together, we can help ensure that your
a child reaches their full potential.
Safety Corner
To ensure the safety and well-being of our students and staff, we kindly ask that you avoid sending aerosol sprays—such as body sprays, perfumes, and similar products—to school. These sprays can trigger allergic reactions and asthma attacks, putting some of our school community members at risk.
Let’s work together to create a safe and comfortable environment for everyone. Thank you for your understanding and support!
Safety Drill Reminders
Dear Parents,
At Harmony Science Academy Pflugerville, the safety and well-being of our students is always our top priority.

These drills include fire, lockdown, and evacuation procedures, all designed to help our students and staff be prepared for a variety of emergency situations.
We encourage you to talk to your children about the importance of these drills. By having open discussions at home, you can reinforce the message that these drills are a crucial part of staying safe, and help them feel more comfortable and confident during the exercises.
