Week of January 3, 2018
Dear HKA Families,
As the second half of our school year begins, we want you to know how much we have enjoyed watching your children learn and grow . They are certainly becoming Mighty Oaks! We are very proud of their effort and hard work. Watching them become students is a wonderful privilege. We are looking forward to this second semester and continuing the Kindergarten journey with your students!
Happy New Year!
Mrs. Pleak, Mrs. Snyder and the entire HKA staff

School Choice Information
2018 Choice Application Information & Changes
The choice application period for the 2018-2019 school year will be open January 29, 2018 through February 23, 2018. Application timelines were altered this year in order to confirm transportation tiers for the 2018-2019 school year so that parents can make informed decisions. Another important change for the 2018-2019, is the offering of a very limited choice application pilot (20 spots) for incoming Kindergarten students per Kindergarten Academy. This limited choice pilot for Kindergarten will not include transportation. In order to process these
Incoming Kindergarten limited choice applications, the student must be registered for Kindergarten at their home Kindergarten Academy. Applications and instructions will be available through our website under the “For
Parents” tab as well as each elementary school. Please read the instructions and complete the application as
directed.
High Ability Screening
Kindergarten, Second, and Fifth Grade High Ability Screening
Dear Parents/Guardians of kindergarten, second and fifth grade students:
We need additional information on the academic needs and performance of individual students in order to provide instruction at the appropriate level for each child. We are continuing our screening for the high ability program and depending on the information needed, your second or fifth grade child may be administered a standardized test during the week of January 22nd. All kindergarten students will be tested the week of January 15th. Parents of students who qualify for the program will receive a letter by the end of May. If you have any questions regarding testing, please contact Kim Jovic at kjovic@perryschools.org.
