Dear Terrific HMSA Community,
The ISAT process is complete and we are so proud of how serious our students took the tests and how hard each student worked each day to show how smart they are. The results usually are returned to us in raw form sometime in June but the formal results will be mailed home to you next fall. Thank you for making sure your children had plenty of sleep, a good breakfast to start the day, and were encouraged to do their best before they left home. Re-scheduling appointments is always tricky and we appreciate all of your efforts to keep kids in school the entire past 2 weeks. We have a great school community!
Have a wonderful weekend.
Sincerely,
Jake Chung

** The Hoover Hawk states that there will be an all school P.B.I.S. celebration game day on Friday, March 23rd. This will not include kindergarten. The kindergarten students will have a mini-celebration during their sessions to honor their good behavior choices!
Good Terrific HMSA Community,
We hope all of you are enjoying the spring-like weather recently. As you know, last week our third through sixth graders took the ISAT. We begin our second week of testing today. Our students have worked so hard to show all they know and we are very proud of them!
Last week received your child’s second trimester report card. I am confident you had the opportunity to reflect on the successes with him/her and even discuss ways to move forward for the 3rd trimester. As a staff, we are pleased with the progress our students have made this year and are now gearing up for even more learning between now and the end of the year.
Sincerely,
Jake Chung

Hello,
I hope that everyone had a great weekend. Please remember that ISAT testing begins on Tuesday, March 6th for 3rd-6th grades. As we mentioned a few weeks ago, it is important to provide ample sleep, a good breakfast and arrive on time during the next week. Our hope is that our students take their time, do their best and feel a sense of pride in what they know. We are confident all of our students will do well!
Have a great week.
Sincerely,

Dear Terrific HMSA Community,
As I am sure many of you already know, ISAT testing is just around the corner. Although we continue to stick with our daily schedules and academic routines, things do start to look a little different for students starting on March 5th. Our third through sixth graders will take part in statewide testing Tuesday, March 6. Make up testing will take place the week of March 12. We need your help the week of the 5th being extra vigilant with alarm clocks, making sure students arrive to school on time and are ready to begin testing. If you can avoid/reschedule doctor, dentist or other appointments for your child/children during this week we would greatly appreciate it! And as always, we want to stress the importance of making sure students are well rested and have a healthy breakfast.
Because of our partnership many of you want to know how to help your child get ready for these tests. The high quality instruction our staff provides and your positive support throughout the year is what continues to make our students well prepared. We want this to be a positive experience for your child/children so just remind them to Do Their Best and that you Believe In Them. We sure do! This is just one more opportunity for them to show all they’ve learned.
Just a reminder report cards will be coming home on March 7th.
Have a wonderful week.
Sincerely,
Jake Chung

Dear Terrific HMSA Community,
I hope that everyone had a wonderful weekend. You will find the HMSA ISAT schedule in the Hawk this week for 3rd – 6th grade students. Please have a wonderful week!

Dear Terrific HMSA Community,
I hope that you had a great week. We want to thank everyone that attended our family math night this past Wednesday! We also wanted to let you know that ISAT testing begins the week of March 5th and lasts for two weeks. Please make every effort to ensure children are at school and on time every day. Absences due to vacations and doctor appointments make it difficult for our 3rd -6th grade students to take their tests in a consistent test friendly environment. We have a strong academic reputation and we want our students to be very successful.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Sincerely,
Jake Chung

Dear Terrific HMSA Community,
The countdown is on and we are just a few hours away from our first ever Taste of HMSA. There will be a variety of amazing performances and a lot of food. Mr. Chung’s famous Korean chicken will also be featured. (Limited Quantities J…) Our parents have been working hard to get this event together, so please think about stopping by for a short time.
Sincerely,
Jake Chung
