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

Dear Harmony Parents,
Currently, all Texans age 16 and older are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine.

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.
FREE VISION: Free vision care for employees.
FREE DENTAL: Free dental care for employees.
INCREASED FREE LIFE INSURANCE POLICY: Free $100,000 life insurance policy for all Exempt employees.
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.
For a full list of Harmony Public Schools employer-paid and supplemental benefits, please visit https://www.harmonytx.org/benefits.
