From the Office...
Hello STEAM Families,

We always welcome you to HSA. Please remember to always check in at the office with your identification if you are visiting.

We have a few events planned out (Elementary Football Night and WatchDOGS Kickoff Pizza Party). Stay tuned, as we are putting together a Fall Event for HSA families!
