We will have interactive demonstrations, information about cultures from around the world, and so much more.

***If you are interested in hosting a booth or a demonstration, please contact Mts. Munoz at LMunoz@harmonytx.org

We are down to just a couple days to re-enroll. Re-enrollment must be complete by Friday 1/27 at 2:00pm. If you have not completed this, please log in to your parent portal in Skyward and click the box for re-enrollment. If it is easier, you can come to the front office and fill out the paper copy. Please also bring a bill for proof of residency.

Each year, HOSA has a variety of competitions that students in the state of Texas compete in according to Area. This fall, hundreds of students in Area 1 took online tests in their respective categories and the top 10 finalists go on to the HOSA Spring Conference to compete in a Skills Assessment. Christian, a senior, represented Harmony Science Academy Pflugerville in the Biotechnology event on January 21 in Seguin, Texas with the other finalists to try and advance to the state level! The Biotechnology competitive event is sponsored by Bio-Rad, and tested Christian's skills in anything from performing labs involving gel electrophoresis, bacterial transformation, and even protein assay. He was given a scenario and had to apply critical thinking skills and was rated on his performance. Congratulations and great job representing HSA Pflugerville! #hsapfhasheart

There have been some safety issues surrounding student drop-off and pick-up.

We want to remind you that the doors and gates at the drop-off locations close at 7:40 am. After that time, students will need to be dropped off at the front office. At 7:45 am students are considered tardy and parents will have to come into the office and sign them in.

Please make sure to follow the drop-off routes. There have been many close calls when students are being dropped off at the corners. All students need to be dropped off at one of the entry points. We must be able to keep the traffic flow. The entrance is by Wendy's and the exit is by the marquee. Please refer to the attached map of the traffic flow.

Please drive slowly as we do have students and staff that are walking in from their parking spots.

If you have Middle School and High School students to drop off together, please drop both students in the High School line, and the Middle School student will walk through the building to the Middle School side.

If your student is a driver and arrives at school late, they will be required to call a parent to be signed in.

We know that everyone is in a hurry however, we are more concerned with everyone's safety.

Thank you for your understanding and attention to this matter.
