Tiger Talk Issue IV, September 3, 2019
Join Us for Meet the Teacher on Thursday, September 5th
Should the parent/guardian wish to have a 1:1 meeting with a teacher, he/she is encouraged to schedule a follow-up meeting for another date and time. This allows the teacher to give his / her undivided attention to that parent and the students' specific needs.
Thank you in advance for your participation and support. We look forward to seeing you there!
Pick Up and Drop Off Procedures
1) During pick up and dismissal times, students should load and unload in the designated driveline areas. Parking in the front lot, neighboring lots, or along the road creates dangerous situations and is not permitted. Individuals who violate these rules are subject to being ticketed and / or towed.
2) Left turns from and onto East St. Elmo Road causes traffic jams. Please be sure to make right turns only.
3) Students should cross only at the designated crosswalks.
4) All elementary, middle, and high school students who are entering the driveline from East St. Elmo Road are to pull into and unload in the small lot located in front of Harmony School of Innovation. This allows several cars to unload at one time and helps the line move much faster.
Please contact the school with any questions regarding these procedures. Thank you for your support and consideration.
Picture Day Heroes!
As a parent at HSE Austin, you are always welcome and encouraged to be involved. Picture Day is coming and we are looking for parent volunteers to assist in this important school tradition.
Picture Day is scheduled for Monday, September 16th.
Our volunteers are called Picture Day Heroes as they play an essential role in helping our school and our students, representing parents, and contributing to the quality of the yearbook and school pictures.
If you would like to request to be a volunteer, please sign up at https://harmony.voly.org.
Contact Mr. Ozguven for help or any questions.

7th grade Immunizations
Dear Parent/Guardian: The purpose of this letter is to inform you of the immunization requirements that will impact rising 7th-grade students. Students entering 7th grade are required to have one dose of Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis) vaccine and one dose of meningococcal conjugate vaccine for individuals who have not already received those vaccines. *Tdap Booster *Meningococcal (MCV4, Menactra) Please contact your health care provider or local health department if your child needs these vaccines. For additional information on immunization requirements please visit The Department of State Health Services website at www.ImmunizeTexas.com All immunizations should be completed by the first day of school. However, you will have 30 calendar days from the first day of school to provide the required up-to-date immunization record for your child. If, at the end of the 30-day period (September 13, 2019), a student has not received a subsequent dose of vaccine, the student is not in compliance and the school shall exclude the student from school attendance until the required dose is administered. Please contact the school for any questions or concerns. Sincerly, Fiwajomi Olaojo ( Medical Aide)
PTO Meeting

Some of the programs that the HSE-Austin PTO has sponsored are donations of the classroom and school supplies, school dances, graduations, and teacher appreciation events.
