OCTOBER!
While we have experienced some beautiful weather recently, it's not hard to tell that fall is officially here. In this newsletter, we have provided announcements and updates for what is a very busy month at HH!
OCTOBER MEANS HOMECOMING!
Homecoming spirit week looks a little different this year as our Student Council and Advisory Board partnered to bring various theme days and activities for all students to enjoy. Students are encouraged to participate by dressing up for themed days and signing up for events during Lunch and Learn in front of the library all next week. Check out the week of HoCo activities below. Questions can be directed to adviser Mrs. Lauren Nash at lnash@hatboro-horsham.org.
Reminder: Purchasing Activity Cards will give a student free entry to the Homecoming football game and tailgate, a $5.00 discount on the Homecoming Dance, and many other discounts throughout the year. Activity card sales end on October 21st.
ATTENDANCE
PSAT DAY IS NEXT WEEK!
October 12th in an early dismissal for high students in grades 9-11. The district will provide free PSAT testing on this day. It is important that students in grades 10 & 11 do their best on the PSAT and take it seriously, as students who score a 970 or higher can meet the ACT 158 graduation requirements under the Alternate Assessment Pathway.

ACADEMIC ELIGIBILITY FOR SPORTS
As per PIAA guidelines, the athletic department runs academic eligibility lists each week. To be eligible for participation in HHHS athletics, marching unit, and theater, participants must be passing all subjects every Friday during a marking period. Students who fail to meet this requirement will be on probation the following week. If the participant does not bring up his/her grade to a passing score during the probation week, he/she will become ineligible until they pass all subjects or we are notified by the student’s teacher of grade improvement.
