Gifted and Talented
In accordance with the Texas State Plan for the Education of Gifted/Talented students, Harmony Public Schools will begin taking referrals for all interested students in grades K-12 for Gifted and Talented (G/T) screening.
Anyone interested in the educational welfare of these students may nominate them for assessment. Students in grades 2 & up who were tested in Fall 2019 are not eligible to test in Spring 2020. Referral forms are available at the front office and on the school’s website.
Parent GT Referral Form in English
Parent GT Referral Form in Spanish
The referral forms must be returned to the front office by Friday, February 7, 2020. The Spring GT testing window is set by the campus in February or March. Campuses may elect to use NWEA MAP scores as a prescreening criterion for GT Testing.
For more information about the screening and identification process, parents may contact the school’s GT Coach/teacher.
Financial Aid
Dear Parents, In order to receive financial aid in the form or loans, grants, or scholarships, students need to complete the free application for student aid, also known as FAFSA. Even students who do not plan on needing financial aid should complete the application as it may give them access to scholarships they otherwise would not have access to. Please work together with your student to complete the application as soon as possible as FAFSA money is first come first served! If you need assistance in completing the application, please contact the counselors. Thank you!

Recientemente ha habido un aumento de estudiantes que usan sus teléfonos celulares en las aulas. Todos los teléfonos celulares deben estar apagados y en sus casilleros. Los estudiantes no pueden llevar sus teléfonos celulares a las aulas. Si se encuentran, los teléfonos celulares serán confiscados y se asignarán las consecuencias. Los estudiantes ya han sido advertidos varias veces; por lo tanto, no se darán más advertencias.
School Dismissal/ Salida de la escuela
Salida de la escuela a las 3:10 PM. Los estudiantes que no se quedan para recibir tutoría o un club después de la escuela deben ser recogidos inmediatamente a las 3:10 PM. Los estudiantes que hayan terminado la tutoría y los clubes después de la escuela deben ser recogidos tan pronto como sean despedidos de esas actividades. Merodear en el campus después de la escuela no está permitido. Por favor recoja a los estudiantes a tiempo.
Traffic Reminders/ Recordatorios de tráfico
A las 3:10 despido, recuerde avanzar lo más lejos posible para recoger a su estudiante. Necesitamos colocar tantos autos como sea posible en las líneas para evitar que retrocedan en Camp Wisdom Rd. Recoja a los estudiantes en el carril izquierdo o en el carril derecho. NO recoja estudiantes en el carril del medio. El carril central es solo para pasar. Los maestros de turno están afuera para ayudar a los estudiantes a cruzar el carril derecho de manera segura. Los teléfonos celulares no están permitidos por los conductores en una zona escolar.
