PARCC BEGINS

The 5th year of the Maryland State assessment in grades 3-8, called the Partnership for
Assessment of Readiness for College and Career (PARCC) is scheduled for May 14-16
(reading) and May 21-23 (math). The PARCC is administered just once each year. The
test includes open-ended written responses as well as multiple-choice questions. The
multiple choice questions ask students to select an answer, and then the next question
asks them to select how or why they know their answer to the previous question is
correct. Our students are as ready as any student in Maryland, bar none. Parents can
help by making sure students are relaxed, rested and have a good breakfast on test
days. Please e-mail testing coordinator Jen Shaffer at [email protected] with
your questions. Remember that breakfast is free to all students starting at 7:40 am.
Students MUST be on time for the start of school by 8 am and present every day to do
their best.

SPECIAL NOTE
REGARDING PREK
ENROLLMENT FOR
2019-2020

While we hope to change the law and the funding
to provide universal PreK in the next couple of
years, PreK is not currently mandatory. Until
June 28th, any student who

1. will turn 4 by 9/1/2019 AND
2. has an IEP and/or is income eligible AND
3. resides in HHA’s attendance area will be

enrolled.

On July 1st, PreK enrollment will be open to all other
students. Factors will include the address of the
student as well as sibling, income, IEP and ESOL
status. It is our hope that all siblings will be
admitted to PreK, but that is not a guarantee and
families should definitely keep other options open.
We usually have about 120-140 families vying for 46
available PreK spaces. IF YOU HAVE A CHILD WHO
WILL TURN FOUR BY SEPTEMBER 1ST AND ANOTHER
CHILD CURRENTLY ATTENDING HHA, PLEASE MAKE
SURE TO SUBMIT YOUR FOUR YEAR OLD’S NAME
FOR A PREK SPOT. WE WANT TO MAKE CERTAIN
ALL SIBLINGS ARE CONSIDERED.

UPDATE ON CANTON BUILDING

In early April, the district put out a surprise request for proposals (RFP) to take over the building and operate it as a school serving 775 elementary
and middle school aged students. April 30th is the deadline for a letter of intent to apply to operate the building at 801 South Highland Avenue.
May 30th is the deadline for applications to be submitted. The winner will be chosen on July 5th. The district wants the successful applicant to
provide $5M-$10M in private funding to renovate the building, pay about a quarter million dollars a year with a 4% annual escalator in a utilities-
only lease, and assume responsibility for all physical plant repairs and updates. The feasibility study commissioned by HHA a few years ago found
that the building would need $13M-$15M worth of renovations. BCP/HHA are submitting a letter of intent and considering whether or not it is
possible to secure the needed capital in the next five weeks. The RFP does not address how this process is being communicated to the community.
Please see Principal Hornbeck for more information.

NEWS FROM DISTRICT 46

The 2019 Legislative Session came to an end on April 8th, and
we remain grateful for the opportunity to represent such an
amazing community in the Maryland General Assembly. There
were a number of key priorities which passed this year, but
none are as relevant or critical as SB 1030/HB 1413: The
Blueprint for Maryland’s Future to begin implementation of
the Kirwan Commission’s recommendations.

This legislation is just the first step in an overhaul of our public
education system, representing a generational opportunity for
Maryland’s students. The funding in SB 1030/HB 1413 includes
an increase of $255 million next year towards public
education, nearly $55 million of which will go directly to
Baltimore City Public Schools. The overall funding includes:

 $75.0 million for teacher salaries Team 46 from left to right Senator Bill Ferguson,
 $65.5 million for special education grants Delegates Brooke Lierman, Robbyn Lewis and Luke Clippinger
 $54.6 million for low-income jurisdictions
 $31.7 million for pre-kindergarten programs
 $23.0 million for tutoring services
 $2.50 million for teacher training
 $2.00 million for more guidance counselors

We are deeply appreciative for the immense advocacy of parents, students and educators who made the passage of SB 1030/HB 1413 possible. It is
only the first step, and we look forward to continuing the momentum built in the 2019 Legislative Session as the final funding formula is developed
in time for the 2020 Legislative Session next January. For more information on our individual legislation, please visit our individual websites to see
each of our End of Session reports. Please do not hesitate to be in touch if there is anything can do for you. As always, you can reach us through
our state email addresses below.

NATURE EXPLORATION

Ms. Riorda: The weather is so inviting! Students in all the classes have been able to journal and make observations about the changes they have
witnessed in the Park's landscape. Spring is the perfect time of year to observe the budding and flowering of trees, the creation of seeds, the
growth in the garden and the tadpoles and minnows in the Park's pond. It is the perfect season to study ecosystems in real time as we see the
combination of the warmer temperatures, spring rains, and soft soil to encourage the growth of new plants. It is also a time to take stock of the
damage done to our environment during cold temperatures and strong winds. Grade 8 students traveled to Middle Branch Park to participate in a
canoe and scoop program run through Baltimore City's Department of Parks and Recreation. The students spent the day cleaning the shoreline for
the tremendous amount of garbage that accumulated during the winter months. It was a rewarding and frustrating day for the students. They felt
really good about the difference they had made, but unfortunately, there was still much trash to be picked up when they had left the park.

SPECIAL EDUCATION

Ms. Shaffer: May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Mental Health Awareness Month has
been observed in May since 1949, reaching millions of people through the media, local events
and screenings. This special month was started in the United States in 1949 by the Mental Health
America Organization (then known as the National Association for Mental Health). Each year in
mid-March, Mental Health America releases a toolkit to guide preparation for outreach activities
during Mental Health Awareness Month. During the month of May, Mental Health America, its
affiliates, and other organizations interested in mental health conduct a number of activities
which are based on a different theme each year.

ESOL DEPARTMENT NEWS

Ms. Bailin, Ms. Gonzalez, Ms. Hicks and Mr. LaBarr: Students in PreK and kindergarten have just completed the Just Around the Corner unit.
Students learned about places in the community, community helpers and safety signs through songs, riddles, games, books, writing, drawing and
scavenger hunts. Ask your child a place that they would like to visit in their community! Grade 1 students will start Unit 5 Wings for Wings. They
will learn about different animals and how they grow. They will read Waiting for Wings and learn about the life cycle of a butterfly. They will also
read Eggs to learn about animals that hatch from an egg. The last story, Come Along, Daisy! will show how a duckling learns to stay close to it’s
mother. Grade 2 students are working in unit 5 Catch me If You Can. They are learning about animals that are popular characters in stories, such as
the coyote. The coyote is a popular character in stories from the southwestern United States. Tell your child a story you remember from your
childhood that features a special animal. What is the animal like? Students will also read an essay describing a tree frog in the Central American
rainforest titled Red-Eyed Tree Frog. They will then read the story What Do You Do When Something Wants to Eat You? to learn about predator
and prey and how some animals protect themselves. The last story will be Grandpa Toad's Secrets about how a toad protects itself. Grade 4
students will investigate different types of building materials used and the types of homes Native Americans lived in based on the region of the
country they resided. Grade 5 students are currently working on a social studies unit entitled Freedom's Trail. Students are learning about different
events in US History. They will then create a timeline to sequence these events. Middle-school students are receiving PARCC test prep by focusing
on identifying the main idea in different texts, how to make inferences, as well as other test taking strategies.

CLUB/ACTIVITIES NEWS

As a reminder, students will not be permitted to join two clubs that meet on the same day.

BUILDERS CLUB Builders Club Members proudly display the Band-Aids
that were collected
The Builders Club hosted a band aid drive and collected over 200 band
aids for The University of Maryland Child Life Center. Here the
members are pictured with Mrs. Shannon Joslin, the director of the
program. She expressed her gratitude to HHA for being so generous
and giving. Colorful and character band aids were given to the boys
and girls who are spending an extended amount of time in the
hospital. The club members also visited the residents of Future Care in
Canton and made Easter egg crafts. The club members are looking to
recruit new members for the 2019-2020 school year. If you are
interested, see a member and ask them what they like about the club.

TENNIS CLUB

The HHA tennis club begins this week. There were a large number of
students interested in this club. Students selected to play via lottery
received a permission slip. Make sure your player has athletic clothing
and tennis shoes to change into on Tuesdays and Thursdays. All
necessary equipment will be supplied. If you have any questions, please
email Ms. Riorda @ [email protected].

DIVERSITY CLUB

Students will continue to meet every other week and discuss issues related to race, ethnicity, culture and diversity. In addition, look out for our
group t-shirts and an upcoming service project.

What Does the PARCC Look Like for Your Child?

Spend some time learning what is expected of your child by the Maryland State
Department of Education at

http://marylandpublicschools.org/programs/pages/testing/parcc/index.aspx

KNOW THE NO’S

 No gum at school. It is distracting and prevents students from reading aloud clearly.
 No smoking in or around school property. This is against the law on school property.
 No double parking at drop-off and pickup. This creates a dangerous situation and you could get a $252 ticket.
 No crossing in the middle of the street. Cross your child at the corner. Do not encourage your child to get to school by

crossing in the middle of the street! This can be extremely dangerous for your child.
 Please remind your child, especially older children, that ball playing is not allowed in front of the school or on the blacktop

during school arrival and dismissal times. Also, ask them to be mindful of smaller children to avoid accidentally bumping
into them.

HHA CELEBRATES EARTH DAY

HHA celebrated Earth Day during Student Celebration
Night. Grade 1 students had a reading of the play they
wrote called The Trash Park, and Audubon Green Leaders
taught families about the effects of climate change on
our earth. Students had an opportunity to plant bean and
pea seeds to start their own home garden. Families
learned about single stream recycling, and students were
able to play the recycling game. Families that pledged to
reduce their use of single use plastics were eligible to win
HHA tote bags. Families also volunteered to help
maintain the school garden this summer. It was a great
day to go green at HHA!

SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING ACROSS THE GRADES

by Steve Plunk, Director of Restorative Practices

In addition to teaching our students critical academic skills, they need to be college and career ready. Teachers at every grade level also work with
the social and emotional development of their students to ensure their success in school.

In 2014, Forbes Magazine published survey results collected from The National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) on the top skills
employers want in graduates. The top four skills are listed below, ranked in order of highest priority. These are all directly related to social and
emotional learning (SEL) competencies.

1. Ability to work in a team structure (relationship skills)
2. Ability to make decisions and solve problems (tie) (decision-making)
3. Ability to communicate verbally with people inside and outside an organization (social awareness)
4. Ability to plan, organize and prioritize work (goal-directed behavior)

HHA uses Restorative Practices (www.iirp.edu) as the central tool to build social and emotional skills in students. The friendly or proactive circles at
the start of the day provide opportunities for students and staff members to share more about themselves and learn more about others. This is a
key part of empathy, specifically, self and social awareness, as well as relationship skills. The Restorative Questions used in times of conflict
provide students with a common language around problem solving and decision-making. These questions are:

 What happened?
 What were you thinking of at the time?
 What have you thought about since?
 Who has been affected by what you have done?

In what way?
 What do you think you need to do to make things right?

In addition to Restorative Practices, teachers at all grade levels have
access to and implement a variety of other social and emotional
learning curricula to enhance the SEL development of our kids. Below
are some highlights from across multiple grade levels:

Ms. Maciel’s Kindergarten Room
Using a stuffed animal from the Sanford Harmony program
(www.sanfordharmony.org), Ms. Maciel teaches about love and
togetherness through a photo-journaling activity.

Ms. Clary’s 1st Grade Classroom
Students receive Second Step lessons (www.secondstep.org) during one of their weekly circle times. After students learn about a new skill through
the story and vignette on the photo card, they get to practice new strategies through structured skill practices.

EVERY HHA STUDENT HAS AN AGENDA FILLED WITH INFORMATION ON A VARIETY OF SUBJECTS.
PLEASE CHECK YOUR CHILD’S AGENDA DAILY.

15

Ms. Clary’s Class Ms. Kaplan’s Class

Ms. Kaplan’s 3rd Grade Classroom
Students use Buddy Bingo from the Sanford Harmony program (www.sanfordharmony.org) to get to know one another by finding things they have
in common. In addition to Ms. Kaplan’s room, students in Ms. Sparwasser and Ms. Knudsen’s homerooms participate in bi-monthly Second Step
lessons (www.secondstep.org) facilitated by Mr. Plunk. Launching ‘Friend-ships’ was one of the first lessons of the series focusing on finding things
in common with others.

Additional Grade 3 and 4 Groups
As part of the Social Thinking/Social Detective SEL program (https://www.socialthinking.com ), small
groups of students have learned about social smarts during lunch bunch sessions with Ms. Smith and
Mr. Plunk. As an added bonus to the Social Thinking /Social Detective 4th grade group, students from
the Crossroads School came to teach some yoga poses to our students to help with flexibility and
centeredness.

Middle School SEL Classes
Students participated in a series of lessons from the 3R Program by Advocates for Youth
(www.advocatesforyouth.org ). Taught by the middle school science teachers, the sessions
covered topics including healthy relationships and communication skills. In addition,
students received an online program called Character Playbook
(www.characterplaybook.com) during Ms. Kannam’s library classes.

NEWS FROM THE WELLNESS COMMITTEE

Mental Health is as important as physical health. Did you know that over 77% of people report
feeling significant physical symptoms associated with stress? Taking care of your mental health and
managing your stress are key to a having a healthy and happy life. Luckily, we know many ways to
manage stress, and we teach that to our students at HHA. Whether it’s through our daily breathing
and morning meditation or building community with our Restorative Circles, we value an active
lifestyle, which is why all of our students have recess every day. However, life does bring stressful
events. Model for your child the acceptance of stress as well as healthy lifestyle choices to manage and work through stress. Additional resources
are available at healthline.com. If you have significant concerns about your child’s mental health, our school-based clinicians can provide support
as needed.

STUDENT ATTENDANCE

HHA is serious about attendance. Our talented staff cannot teach unless students attend school. There is a district-wide focus on student
attendance. Again this year, there will be mandatory hearings at school headquarters for the parents of students with poor attendance. Each

month the newsletter will include this chart so students and parents can review attendance averages.

Congratulations to the 6th Grade Team for having the highest attendance average for April.
The students in this grade level will have a PTO sponsored pizza party.
