Last week was the Regional Science Fair and we are happy to announce that Team Amar, Rayyan and Samuel placed 1st in Junior Division Chemistry. Team Yusuf placed 2nd in Senior Division

WE ARE GOING TO STATE!

Parents are essential to their scholar's academic, collegiate and professional journeys. We are lucky to have so many dedicated parents in all of our schools! It's time to nominate your choice for Parent of the Year. Applications are accepted until March 3.

The National Honor Society (NHS) announced that Ahmet Asim Aykanat, a high school senior at HSA Pflugerville and member of NHS, has been selected as an NHS Scholarship semifinalist.

Since 1946, more than $21 million in scholarships have been awarded to outstanding NHS senior members to support college access and student success. The scholarship program is supported by the parent organization of NHS, the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP).

In the 100+ years since NHS was founded in 1921, members have been making a difference in their schools and communities, and the NHS Scholarship is NASSP’s way of recognizing the most exceptional of these student leaders. Recipients are chosen based on their demonstrated work to support the four pillars of NHS: scholarship, service, leadership, and character.

At HSA Pflugerville, Ahmet Asim Aykanat has done over 400 community service; for example, he serves as NHS Vice President, youth mentor, school safety patrol, drummer, and tutor. This fall, he hopes to attend one of the top universities in the nation to study computer science or an area of interest.

You have accomplished great success and well deserved this award. Congratulations, Ahmet!

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.
