Important Message From Harmony School of Innovation- Carrollton
Dear Parents/Guardians,
This letter is to inform you that there will be a change in the schedule for Thursday, May 31, 2018. The last day of school will now be Friday, June 1st instead of Thursday, May 31st due to the TEA not approving the waver for the makeup day for when we had the pipe burst incident in November.
Friday, June 1st will be a half day/ early release at 11:50 am, please be sure to notify your daycare facilities.
Thursday, May 31st will be a full school day and will follow the regular schedule.
Class parties will be held on the last day of school, more information will be sent out by your child’s homeroom teacher. Students will have lunch prior to dismissal, parents won’t be able to join them.
Please note that this change only affects Harmony School of Innovation – Carrollton AND NOT Harmony Science Academy (HSA) next door.
Attached is a message from HSIC Principal Mr. Clinton Barnes.
We apologize for any inconvenience this sudden change has caused. If you have any questions please reach out to Amani Momani at amomai@harmonytx.org

Public Comments on Proposed Bonus Redesign
Dear Educator,
Following TEA’s announcement of the new accountability system, we started a redesign process for our performance bonus structures to align with the new accountability measures in school year 2018-2019. Based on feedback collected through surveys and deeper discussions in our bonus redesign committee meetings, we came up with a set of proposed changes to the current bonus plan. We are now in the public commenting period to collect final recommendations on these proposed changes before the new bonus system is presented to HPS Board of Directors for approval in June. Please review this slide deck to see the proposed changes and click on the following link to leave a public comment. You may respond to the public comment survey multiple times to provide comments on different parts of the proposed changes. Public comment period closes on June 1, 2018. Thanks in advance for your valuable contributions.
