FALL FESTIVAL WAS A SUCCESS!!!
Thank you to staff, parents, students who volunteered, contributed donations, and/or attended to make this a successful event.
Our next big family event is Holidays Around the World on December 12th.
Around one billion people worldwide and across the U.S. will celebrate Diwali this week.
Diwali, also known as Deepavali and the Hindu “Festival of Lights,” is one of India's most widely celebrated holidays. It overlaps with other harvest rituals and festivals. The dates for the holiday vary each year as they follow the lunar calendar. Diwali originated in India more than 2,500 years ago. The annual festival, which expands to the Indian diaspora, is usually observed for five days or even as short as one day, depending on where a person lives or how the person celebrates.

Student's Birthday at School

Being Mindful of Highly Allergic Foods
Good Afternoon,
As a school, we have changed to peanut-free lunches serving students sunflower butter instead of peanut butter.
- Please be mindful of your children's lunches to avoid highly allergic foods with students.
- Remind your children to clean and wash thoroughly after lunch in order to decrease the spread of germs and potential allergic reactions to other students.
- If a student knows they are allergic to an item that another student might have close by, please have them tell a staff member so we can sit them somewhere else.
- Also, remind your children to never share their food with another student.
Have an afternoon appointment??
Monday - Thursday: students must be picked up BEFORE 2:45 and on Fridays BEFORE 12:45 pm
This policy allows students to be picked up prior to the beginning of dismissal and ensures you are able to leave the campus in a timely manner.

Hello Harmony Cedar Park Mrs. Bernal here!

- The state and federal governments use this information to help distribute grants and other forms of funding. If you don’t complete it, your student’s campus could miss some of this funding.
- In addition, your student could get fee waivers for college applications and exams, access to scholarship opportunities, academic enrichment programs, and increased health and wellness services.
- Let's work together to get additional funding for our students!
