Junior Parent/Guardian Night – 2021

Junior Parent/Guardian Night – College Planning 101

 

Dear Mustang Junior Students & Parents/Guardians,

Little things can make a big difference in the way your child thinks about—and prepares for—college. It’s never too early to talk about college, even in the most general way, or to help your child develop positive study habits. The earlier they discover what study techniques work for them, the easier time they’ll have in high school—and in college.

HSI-Sugar Land College & Career Counseling team is pleased to invite you to join our Junior Parent/Guardian Night – College Planning 101 Parent/Guardian High School Info Night which will be held in VIRTUALLY (Zoom Meeting) on Tuesday, May 25, 2021 at 6:00 to 7:00 p.m.

Join us for a great opportunity to learn more about:

  • Getting the facts about what college costs.
  • Searching together for colleges that meet your child’s needs.
  • Exploring financial aid options.
  • Attending college fairs and financial aid events.
  • Helping your child research scholarships.
  • Helping your child make summer plans.
  • Visiting colleges together.

We will be looking forward to seeing you in the event soon.

Have a wonderful day!

Thanks in Advance

Best,

Mr. Walter Morgan, M.Ed

Guidelines for In-Person Class of 2021 Graduation Ceremony:

We will send more specific information about the guidelines.

Senior Cap and Gown Picture:

On April 19th and April 20th we held senior portrait day and “Life Touch” took each senior’s Tux & Drape and Cap & Gown pictures. We will inform you when the company finishes the touch up and the seniors pictures are ready to purchase.

During the ceremony we will have a photo booth at the stadium and senior students will be able to take a picture after they received the diplomas.

Items that need to be returned to HSI-Sugar Land Front Office:

This includes, but is not limited to Chromebooks and chargers, calculators, textbooks, athletic uniforms, library materials, and other school owned items by the last day of school.

Tickets and Parking Passes:

I would like to introduce you all to our concept for tickets. Given that each family’s additional guest list will vary in size, we wanted to see if we could get a better grasp on predicting how many tickets each family will want, and if we can accommodate those who will need many more than others. To do so, we have created a Google Form, which parents must fill out so that we can see how many tickets your family is interested in having. Each family will be provided with 10 tickets, In the form, we recommend that you give us the most accurate prediction of how many tickets you will need that you can provide.

If you are aware that you will need handicapped seating, please indicate this on the Class of 2021 Graduation Ceremony Guests Ticket Request Form

Parents must have completed this Google Form by May 7th, 2021 at 4:00 PM.

Do guests need tickets?

Yes, in order to maximize social distancing, and in accordance with TEA guidelines for outdoor graduation ceremonies, this will be a ticketed event. Tickets will be required for all guests over the age of two (2). Graduating seniors do not require a ticket. You must have a ticket to enter the stadium.

Dear senior students please enter your guest number by using below form. Your guest tickets will be provided by counselors on a rehearsal day.

Class of 2021 Graduation Ceremony Guests Ticket Request Form

Do guests need to purchase parking in advance?

No. It is not necessary to purchase parking at this venue.

Is there reserved seating at hall stadium?

There is no reserved seating and saving seats is not allowed. All seating is open. Texas Education Agency (TEA) guidelines allow family groups of five or fewer to sit together, and all families are encouraged to maintain appropriate social distancing at all times, including during their entry and exit to the stadium.

Graduating from high school is dependent upon earning the number and type of credits needed to earn a diploma.

Participating in the graduation ceremony is a privilege, one that your family will truly value as they have spent a lot of time supporting you in your academic studies. Please take time to ensure that you are eligible to graduate by earning the credits needed. Please take time to ensure that you are able to participate in the graduation ceremony by making good choices for the remainder of your senior year and by making sure that you have taken care of all financial responsibilities.

Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any further questions.

Have a wonderful day!

Thanks in Advance

COVID-19 Vaccination for Your High School Student

Dear Harmony Parents,

 

Currently, all Texans age 16 and older are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine. The purpose of this email is to gauge your interest in COVID-19 vaccination for your high school student so that the Harmony Public Schools Student Health Department can determine what resources it may be able to provide for families. Those resources may include voluntary on-campus vaccine clinics (parent permission would be required) or scheduling assistance for off-site third-party vaccine clinics.

Below is a link to a quick, voluntary survey. We ask that you please let us know by 4/26/2021 if you are interested in having your child vaccinated.

https://forms.gle/sPVFbH9u1SJ685fU8

Thank you.

 

Estimados padres de Harmony,

Actualmente, todos los texanos de 16 años o más son elegibles para recibir la vacuna contra la COVID-19. El objetivo de este correo electrónico es evaluar su interés en que su estudiante de secundaria reciba la vacuna contra la COVID-19, de modo que el Departamento de Salud Estudiantil de Escuelas Públicas de Harmony pueda determinar qué recursos puede proporcionar a las familias. Esos recursos pueden incluir clínicas de vacunación voluntarias en el campus (se requiere el permiso de los padres) o asistencia para la programación de clínicas de vacunas de terceros fuera del sitio.

A continuación, encontrará un enlace a una encuesta breve y voluntaria. Le pedimos que nos haga saber antes del 26/4/2021 si está interesado en que su hijo se vacune.

Harmony Public Schools employees receive major benefits upgrade

Teachers and other staff members of Harmony Public Schools will receive a major upgrade to their employer-paid benefits package after the Harmony Public Schools Executive Board unanimously approved a sweeping new benefits expansion.

 

The package will go into effect later this spring with the start of Harmony’s annual benefits enrollment period, and includes new employer-paid benefits related to health care, retirement, and life insurance.

 

“The past year, the world has seen the true value of our teachers and team members in a way they never have before,” Harmony Public Schools CEO Fatih Ay said. “These professionals who take such good care of our students deserve to know that they are being taken care of, as well – both their immediate needs and their long-term needs. So we are excited to be able to offer them an additional set of benefits that saves them money on their health care costs each month, while also helping them prepare for their retirement down the road.”

 

The new benefits include:

 

MATCHING RETIREMENT CONTRIBUTIONS: Exempt employees can receive 100% matching contribution to employee 403(b) and/or 457(b) plan, up to $1,500 annually depending on tenure of service. This is in addition to employee’s TRS Retirement System Benefits.

 

  • Previously: No employer matching contribution. 

 

FREE VISION: Free vision care for employees.

 

  • Previously: Employee-paid supplemental benefit.

 

FREE DENTAL: Free dental care for employees. 

  • Previously: Employee-paid supplemental benefit.

INCREASED FREE LIFE INSURANCE POLICY: Free $100,000 life insurance policy for all Exempt employees.

 

  • Previously: Free $20,000 life insurance policy.

 

The package amounts to a roughly $2.4 million estimated increase in annual expenditure on employer-paid benefits for the Texas-based school system. However, Harmony Public Schools CEO Fatih Ay said the investment was worth it because of the positive impact on employee quality of life, work-life balance, and workplace satisfaction.

 

“The investments with the best returns are always the investment made in people,” Ay said. “We’ll continue to make these kinds of investments on behalf of our employees as often as we can.” 

 

The expansion was the fourth major announcement related to employee benefits made by Harmony in the past year. The school system also announced two employee bonuses last year, as well as a promise to continue independently offering the now-expired federal COVID-19 leave benefits for impacted employees.
