HOMEWORK REQUESTS
🔴 NO STOPPING/PARKING IN THE BUS LANE 🔴
Please refrain from parking along the curb in front of the building at all times. If you are picking up or dropping of your student, there are parking spots available in front of the school for your use. The curb area is reserved for delivery vehicles and busses before school, after school and for our mid-day pickups and drop offs. Thank you.
COLD WEATHER ATTIRE
Now that winter has descended upon the Pacific Northwest, it is time for the reminders about appropriate attire for the conditions. Please dress warmly with coats, gloves, boots, long pants, scarves and anything else you would wear to build a snowman. You never know when there will be a fire drill or emergency that requires students to exit the building for an extended period of time..
HMS FUND RUN - DONATE NOW THRU SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 20
Horizon's Hawk Trot will be Wednesday, November 23rd. That's the day before Thanksgiving, so we'll burn some calories before the big feast day.
The money raised goes directly into our ASB budget. Our ASB supports many school activities including band, choir, orchestra, field trips, and intramurals, as well as interscholastic activities like guest speakers at assemblies and athletics. We know that students who participate in extracurricular activities and/or athletics have better attendance and academic success than students who do not and we work hard to provide diverse opportunities for all of our student body, but we can't do it without the support of our students, families, and community.
We would like to thank our sponsors for their generosity to our school:

- Crush Coffee Stands
- Dishman Dodge
- Sanders Dental
- Gesa Credit Union
- Caruso's Sandwiches
- Damon Orthodontics
- Falco's

CHESS CLUB INTRAMURAL
We will be starting a new chess club at Horizon. This intramural activity will take place on Fridays after school so that you can still participate, even if you are involved in another after school sport.
We will meet in the Horizon library at 2:45 each Friday and will play competitive and rousing games of chess until 3:45.
You need to make sure that you have paid your ASB fee, have parent/guardian permission and a current physical.
If you have any questions or want to sign up, please stop by the library and talk to Coach Morrow.

After School Arrangements
Please make arrangements with your child before school as to their afternoon transportation plans. Due to the number of students in the building, it is not always easy to get messages to students throughout the day. This will also help alleviate disruptions to class times.
