Congratulations!
Great things are happening at HSA-Pflugerville!
We would like to highlight one of our seniors, Sergio, for getting accepted to UT Austin & Computer Science Department with the holistic review of his application!
We are proud of Sergio for this accomplishment as it’s very difficult to get an acceptance letter from UT Austin if you are not at the top %6 of your graduating class.
We would like to also congratulate him on being selected for the College Board National Hispanic Recognition Program.
Sergio is being recognized for both his academic achievements in school and outstanding performance on the PSAT/NMSQT®, PSAT™ 10, and/or AP® Exams.
We are extremely proud of all you’ve accomplished Sergio! And, we celebrate your success and the brightness of all that’s ahead.

Attendance Update
ATTENDANCE
If your student is out due to covid 19 like symptoms or exposure it is important to contact the front office or email our attendance clerk Jessica Sanchez at Jessica.sanchez@harmonytx.org. Students who are absent for more then 3 days are required to provide a Dr’s note to excuse the remainder of the absences. If your student is at home awaiting Covid test results, please provide a copy of your scheduled appointment to the attendance clerk. If your student has tested negative but still experiencing symptoms such as fever, the student must stay home for 24 hours and remain fever free without the help of medication. If your student has tested positive for covid 19 please inform our health aide Mary Ordillano at mordillano@harmontyx.org and provide her with the date your student has tested positive and the last time they attended school. Although CDC is recommending 5 days of quarantine, Harmony Public schools is still requiring 10 days of quarantine from the date your student has tested positive. Positive test results must be provided to our attendance clerk to excuse the 10 days. If tested positive, Students may log on to their Schoology and complete assignments remotely and email their teachers using their Harmony email for any additional assignments. If you have any questions, please call the front at 512-251-5000.
ASISTENCIA
Si su estudiante está fuera debido a síntomas o exposición similares a covid 19, es importante que se comunique con la oficina principal o envíe un correo electrónico a nuestra secretaria de asistencia su correo es Jessica.sanchez@harmonytx.org. Los estudiantes que estén ausentes por más de 3 días deben proporcionar una nota del médico para justificar el resto de las ausencias. Si su estudiante está en casa esperando los resultados de la prueba de Covid 19, proporcione una copia de su cita programada al empleado de asistencia. Si su estudiante dio negativo pero aún experimenta síntomas como fiebre, el estudiante debe quedarse en casa durante 24 horas y permanecer sin fiebre sin la ayuda de medicamentos. Si su estudiante dio positivo por covid 19, informe a nuestra asistente de salud su correo es mordillano@harmontyx.org y proporciónele la fecha en que su estudiante dio positivo y la última vez que asistió a la escuela. Aunque los CDC recomiendan 5 días de cuarentena, las escuelas públicas de Harmony aún requieren 10 días de cuarentena a partir de la fecha en que su estudiante dio positivo. Los resultados positivos de las pruebas deben proporcionarse a nuestro empleado de asistencia para excusar los 10 días. Si la prueba da positivo, los estudiantes pueden iniciar sesión en su Schoology y completar las tareas de forma remota y enviar un correo electrónico a sus maestros usando su correo electrónico de Harmony para cualquier tarea adicional. Si tiene alguna pregunta, llame al frente al 512-251-5000.
Vaccination clinic
Ascension Seton nurses will be in the school's cafeteria administering the Pfizer vaccine to children 5-17 years of age and children and adults looking to get booster shots. Remember, you qualify to get your booster shot if it has been 5 months after your second dose. Remember, the CDC approved booster shots for 18-year-olds and above to be mixed and matched, meaning if your initial doses were Moderna, you could get your booster shot with Pfizer. No pre-registration is required. No health insurance is required. Hope to see you all there!

Please remember that if your student is experiencing a fever and/ or vomiting, your student must be symptom free for 24 hours with no medication, before returning to school.
