SSC Meeting

Tuesday, September 18, 5:30-6:30pm
Room 205
 

The School Site Council (SSC) is the major part of the overall decision-making structure at our school. Participants are elected by their peers (parents, principal, teachers, and other school staff) to represent the members of the school community. Their primary role is to guide the Site Planning Process to ensure that the needs of all students are specifically addressed in the School Site Plan. In addition, the School Site Council oversees the site-based budgeting of categorical funds. 

Everyone is invited to participate in this decision-making process at SSC meetings. However, SSC members will be leading the discussion.

Family Potluck - An HMCRA Tradition!

An HMCRA Family in Need

A family in our community is going through a very serious medical struggle. The baby brother of Anaya Collins in Ms. Burton-Laurance's 5th Grade class, and Jonah Collins who graduated and is now in middle school, is very sick. Noah was diagnosed last spring with Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare terminal form of childhood cancer. His family is in need of support, both financial and emotional, to get through this unimaginably painful time.

Please consider donating to this gofundme page to help with their everyday expenses. 

Chicken Volunteers & Garden Work Day

Our chickens need some care on a weekly basis, and you get paid in free, fresh eggs! If you are interested, please read the brief description in the link and sign up for a time slot. We are in need of some help as soon as the weekend of 9/21. Sign up here.

The next School Garden Work Day

Sunday, October 21, 10am - 2pm

Everyone is welcome to have fun planting, decorating, cleaning up and helping with general maintenance projects. Getting your hands dirty in our garden is a great way to help beautify our school, and a fun, therapeutic activity to share with your family. 

We will have plants, light snacks, and all the tools and materials we will need on hand.

If you have any questions, please contact Randi at garden@harveymilk.com.

Reminder: Please Complete Important Forms

DUE ASAP: Each student has received a set of forms including an emergency card, field trip permission, the school’s cell phone policy, and a form for school lunches. Please fill these out and return them to your classroom teacher or the office. Room parents groups can't be created until the emergency cards have been completed with contact information.

DUE 9/27: The school lunch form is available in the school office and online at SchoolCafe.com, a new system that combines an application for free or reduced-price lunch with the Multipurpose Family Income Form. SFUSD requires ALL families to fill it out whether planning on using the lunch program or not.

Please note:

• You only need to fill out one application per family
• HMCRA is listed under Milk, Harvey in the list of SFUSD schools.
