On-Campus Learning Start Date Has Been Extended
Dear HSE-Austin Parents,
Please review the attached On-Campus Reopening Update for Harmony Public Schools. The On-Campus Learning start date has been extended to Monday, September 14. Harmony schools continue to weigh guidelines from the Texas Education Agency and guidance from local and state health officials. In the meantime, we will continue with remote learning until our campus can re-open.
We are excited to open our doors to our students and staff hopefully very soon. Thank you for your ongoing support and feedback throughout the re-opening process.
Thank you,
Mr. Celiker

Where are my shot records ?
Happy new school year to you all.
This is a reminder that vaccine records need to be updated. New students who have not submitted their shot records should please do so. Also, 7th graders must get their TdaP and MCV4 (Meningitis) shots. Schedule a Dr's appointment if you haven't, and submit your shot records to the front office if you have.
To support social distancing, ask your Dr's office to fax your updated shot records to 512-693-0008 As we continue virtual learning, the State of Texas demands all vaccine records be updated. Those requiring affidavits should start now as it takes 15days longer than usual. All vaccine records and affidavit must be completed and turned in by September 20. This is a mandate by the Texas Department of Health.
I look forward to working with you this school year. Have a great school year!
Feliz año escolar a todos.
Este es un recordatorio de que es necesario actualizar los registros de vacunas. Los estudiantes nuevos que no hayan presentado sus registros de vacunas deben hacerlo. Además, los estudiantes de séptimo grado deben recibir sus vacunas TdaP y MCV4 (Meningitis). Programe una cita con el doctor si no lo ha hecho y envíe sus registros de vacunas a la oficina principal si lo ha hecho. Para apoyar el distanciamiento social, pídale a la oficina de su doctor que envíe por fax sus registros de vacunas actualizados al 512-693-0008 A medida que continuamos con el aprendizaje virtual, el estado de Texas exige que se actualicen todos los registros de vacunas. Aquellos que requieran declaraciones juradas deben comenzar ahora, ya que lleva 15 días más de lo habitual. Todos los registros de vacunas y la declaración jurada deben completarse y entregarse antes del 20 de septiembre. Este es un mandato del Departamento de Salud de Texas. Espero trabajar con ustedes este año escolar.
¡Que tengas un excelente año escolar!
HOME AND SCHOOL COMMUNICATION- PARENT / GUARDIAN EMAIL ADDRESS REQUIRED
Teachers will notify parents of important information through email and Skyward messenger; therefore, it is very important that all parents/guardians provide an updated email address that the parent/guardian checks daily.
Please contact the front office if you have changed your email address since last year, if you would like to verify the email address that is on file, or if you need assistance in creating an email account. The primary email address that is provided will be entered into our system, so that you may be receiving notices regarding homework, assignments, behavior, grades, etc.
We thank you in advance for your support and for your active involvement with your child's education.
