School Site Council Meeting
|

|
Tuesday, October 15 - Room 205
The School Site Council (SSC) is the major part of the overall decision-making structure at our school. 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. If you'd like to attend but need help with childcare please email. |

It has been a long time Harvey Milk tradition that all families come together and get to know each other a little bit better... And what better way to get to know one another, but by sharing food! Bring a favorite dish specific to your family and/or culture and enjoy an evening of food, music, and community! Sign up here to help make this HMCRA tradition a success! (Just remember - NO NUTS please!)

Families have returned and staff and students met with their Families for the first time last Thursday.
The goal of Families is to strengthen our school community. Each student has an assigned Families teacher who will remain their Families teacher until they graduate to middle school. Each Families teacher will have a group of 19-22 students with 2-5 students from each grade level who will be the Family. Families will meet for one hour each month on the following Thursdays:
11/7, 12/12, 1/16, 2/13, 3/12, 4/16, 5/14

Thursday, October 31, 2:30pm
Come and join Harvey Milk’s annual costume parade around our neighborhood. Due to space restrictions as a result of the construction we will not have the usual celebration in the yard following the parade. Instead, individual classes may choose to organize their own celebration in their classroom. Siblings are welcome to participate and costumes are optional. Please take a moment and read our Halloween Costumes and Stereotype Biases guidelines before finalizing any costumes.
