LUNCH SERVICES UPDATE:
*Monday is the LAST DAY for families to pick up Chromebooks from 11 AM to 1 PM at HSI. One Chromebook issued per family.
Beginning the week of Monday, April 6th, 2020, HPS Austin will offer free lunch and breakfast pick-up twice a week, on Mondays (for Monday and Tuesday) and Wednesday (for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday) from 11 AM to 1 PM. The Texas Department of Agriculture no longer provides funding for Saturday and Sunday meals, so these meals will not be available.
Children no longer have to be in the vehicle during meal pick-up; however, eligibility must still be verified. There are three options when picking up meals:
1. If children are present in the vehicle, no additional documentation is required.
2. If a parent/guardian requests meals for children enrolled in Harmony Public Schools (not present in the vehicle), no additional documentation is needed since we already have a record of eligibility by enrollment.
3. If a parent/guardian requests meals for children not enrolled in Harmony Public Schools, they must present one of the following documents at the time of pick up:
- Official letter/email/electronic school application from school listing children enrolled.
- Individual student report cards
- Attendance record from parent portal of the school website, printed or electronic, that includes the children names
- Birth certificate for children not in school
- Student ID cards
The meal pick-up locations are as listed:
- Harmony Science Academy-Austin: 930 E Rundberg Lane Austin TX 78753
- Harmony Science Academy-Pflugerville: 1421 Wells Branch Pkwy STE 200, Pflugerville, TX, 78660
- Harmony School of Innovation-Austin: 2124 E St Elmo Rd STE A, Austin, TX 78744
Harmony Public Schools is committed to meeting the food and nutritional requirements of every child in our communities. Thank you, and stay healthy.

Sample Home Routine
We want families to remember that it's OK if your initial schedule isn't working for you, there may be many interruptions, and not all their work may be completed. If you're feeling overwhelmed, it's best to start with a simple routine.
Teachers will have reached out to you all about hooking up to Google Classroom for lessons and assignments. Below you can also find links to Science and Social Studies virtual tours, field trips, and activities for children to do at home!
