Teacher Appreciation Week is for honoring teachers and recognizing the lasting contributions they make on student’s lives.

Honor your child’s teachers on May 8th with National Teacher’s Day. In fact, extend that honor through Teacher Appreciation Week, from May 7-11th. Teachers can change our lives. They can help us find our passion, they can help us succeed, they can be a role model, and they can be the mentor that motivates and inspires greatness. Outstanding teachers encourage us to make choices, whether it is a career or simply guiding us in our values.

Harmony Science Academy - Laredo will be hosting its 4th Annual Career Day on Wednesday, May 2nd. This event is an opportunity for students to meet with representatives from the community to discuss possible future career paths.

Past career opportunities have included police officers, doctors, dentists, etc. Students are able to meet with representatives to discuss education requirements, training and job responsibilities. HSA students are then given an opportunity to ask questions and participate in discussions with professionals in their field of interest.

Career Day is a great experience that connects the students of HSA and the professionals in the community. The school community is grateful to the partnerships that have developed as a result of this event throughout the years.

For more information on signing up to present a career path to a group of interested students, please turn in or fax form found in the link below to our front office (f#: 956-712-1188) by April 27, 2012.

Renewing our BBB rating along with a stable outlook will enable us to save thousands of dollars which can then be used to further advance the efforts of our students, teachers, and staff members".

Come celebrate Cinco de Mayo with us!
Cinco de Mayo is often mistaken for Mexican Independence day which is actually September 16. However, Cinco de Mayo is a date of great importance for the Mexican and Chicano communities. It marks the victory of the Mexican Army over the French at the battle of Puebla. Although the Mexican army was eventually defeated, the “Batalla de Puebla” came to represent a symbol of Mexican unity and patriotism. With this victory, Mexico demonstrated to the world that Mexico and all of Latin America were willing to defend themselves of any foreign intervention.

Harmony Science Academy Spanish classes cordially invite you to their Cinco de Mayo Celebration.

Where: HSA Cafeteria
When: Friday, May 4, 2012
Time: 3:30 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.
¡Ven! ¡Te esperamos!

From Superintendent Dr. Soner Tarim To the Harmony Public Schools Community: A disappointing article on charter schools in this week's New York Times attempts to put Harmony Public Schools in Texas in a context that is not accurate, necessitating this brief response. Many of us at Harmony Schools cooperated extensively with the Times on this story over the last several months, providing documents, interviews, tours and dozens of detailed responses to specific questions in good faith. But, as sometimes happens, the end result was not entirely what we had hoped. See the rest of Dr. Soner Tarim's response here: http://harmonytx.org/news/122/letter-to-stakeholders-on-ny-times-article/

It is the policy of the Harmony Science Academy Charter School to locate and identify any child who contacts or enrolls in the Charter School who may have a disability and be in need of special education and related services, regardless of the severity of the disability, in accordance with its procedures as reflected in the CHILD FIND legal framework of the Legal Framework for the Child-Centered Special Education Process, located at: http://framework.esc18.net/. read more...
