Harmony Science Academy NW will be participating for the first time in “Name That Book”! This competition is being organized by Harmony School of Excellence and will be held on April 10, 2010.
Depending on the number of students who have signed up, they will be put into groups of 4 to 6 students. If there is more than one group, HSA NW will have an “in school” competition and the winners for each category, K-2, Grade 3-5, Middle School and High School will move on to the finals at Harmony School of Excellence.
Each team will have a captain and there will be reserves, in case someone is ill or will not be able to attend due to unforeseen circumstances.
This is a great way for students to get to know others from the various grades, learn to work in teams and read books at the same time! Be sure to check out the reading lists for the 4 categories. Just “click” on the links!

The 2010 Robotics Competition will take place on Saturday March 29th, 2010 at 2.00 pm. Competition will be held in cafeteria.
All the materials that you need will be provided by the school.

The HSANW Engineering Robotics Competition is targeted towards students in the Middle school grades and aims to promote engineering among youth. Each team in the competition has 7 week to build a robot using a Lego Mindstorms kit to overcome a challenge game. School teams do not require a robot kit to compete. Besides the exciting challenge the competition also judges the quality of the student to engineering principles. There is no limit to the size of the teams but a maximum of 3-4 students appears to be3 the norm.

Our teachers are working hard, going beyond their schedule and trying to visit our parents in their homes. The goal of home visits is first of all to get parent feedback and ask about any concerns. Also to have a better communication and increase parent involvement in their child's education… This way build rapport and respect between the student, parent and the teacher which improves students' grades and behavior at school.

If you would like to schedule a homevisit please e-mail your available times to Mr.Besli at gbesli@harmonytx.org
