HHA HELPS TO RESTORE LOCAL HABITATS!

STORY ON PAGE 2

Welcome to Hampstead Hill Academy!

Principal Note from Principal Hornbeck
Matt Hornbeck
Public Schools are a priority in Maryland! The Kirwan Commission’s Funding Formula Final Report has been
released, which is a historic moment for Maryland. Over 10 years starting in FY22, funding for public schools will
increase $4B. $2.7B will come from the state and $1.3B from local districts. For City Schools, that will mean $832M
more which will be $500M from the State and $332M from Baltimore City. The City Schools’ budget will increase
from $1.3B per year to more than $2.1B per year. This money means competitive teacher salaries, lower class sizes,
pre-kindergarten for everyone, and vastly better career preparation in high school, especially in science and
technology. The money will be distributed based on need, but HHA should see an increase of something like $5-6M
per year. In terms of the rollout, the Maryland General Assembly goes into session January 8th and finishes in early
April. What the Kirwan Commission defines as a successful school has been determined. Now legislation needs to
be passed to fully fund the findings in Kirwan Report.

HHA is doing our part. Our Strong Schools Maryland Team recently wrote more letters to elected officials in support
of fully funding Kirwan. BUILD leaders Cassandra LaBella and Jill Vasbinder Morrison organized 27 HHA staff and
parents to be among 435 citizens at a recent action at Memorial Baptist Church. That night, BUILD got
commitments from Mayor Young to provide $30M in an additional year of funding for the so-called “Bridge to
Kirwan” in FY21 and commit $90M in new money in the first year of Kirwan funding, which is in FY22. Mayor Young
repeatedly said he was “all in.” HHA will need you to write a letter to your legislator, go to Annapolis, attend a
BUILD accountability forum with the candidates running for Mayor, and stay up on the issues surrounding the
statewide effort to make Maryland’s public schools the best in the nation.

CANTON CANOPY

As part of HHA's B'More Green initiatives, students, parents and teachers worked with
Canton Canopy on Saturday, November 16th to restore local habitats by planting trees in
and around our community. The trees will provide shade and beauty to the residents and
will provide habitats for many species of birds. Established in 2017, Canton Canopy is an
all-volunteer run initiative operating in affiliation with the Canton Community Association
and with support from the Baltimore City Forestry Board and Baltimore City Urban
Forestry Division. Canton Canopy's mission is to facilitate the planting of trees in existing
tree pits, fundraise and apply for grants in order to cut new tree pits, and organize
volunteers to help with the care and maintenance of the community's trees.

TOP NEWS STORIES

MSDE REPORT CARD RELEASE DATE DECEMBER 3RD

The MSDE star system is flawed and distills the complex work of a school to a single
number. There are some changes to the way stars are awarded this year which means
that HHA may score a very high 4 stars for 2019. Either way, HHA is a great school, and
staff, students, and parents should be extraordinarily proud of the achievement. Out of
HHA’s 152 scored categories worth up to a total of 196.5 points, it has come down to less
than 5 points. It looks like some years, we will earn 5 stars, and some years we will earn 4
stars. Our leadership team is examining the preliminary data to check for accuracy and
look for opportunities moving forward. Two new categories this year are science scores
and student and staff surveys. Stay tuned!

CHOOSING HHA MIDDLE SCHOOL FOR
YOUR CHILD

Rising 6th grade students have a number of middle school choices. Students may decide to continue their studies at HHA, attend parochial or
independent schools, or citywide programs such as Ingenuity or Advanced Academic. The overwhelming majority of students attending HHA in 5th
grade decide to return for 6th grade. In fact, in recent years, students have returned to HHA from Ingenuity and declined to attend private school.
Reasons to stay at HHA include rigorous academic programming, including honors science and social studies classes for every student as well as
great teachers, admission to the very best high schools in the Baltimore area, the convenience of knowing HHA’s procedures, access to HHA’s
administrators, our friendly and comforting climate and culture, friends your child has known for years, and a middle school program that prepares
your child for high school. HHA middle school also includes the Leaders Go Places (LGP) program which provides every middle school student with
a small group high school advisory, access to weekly assemblies, special speakers, and targeted help with important note taking and organizational
skills.

In addition, LGP tracks your child’s grade point average (GPA), behavior and attendance and service learning hours. Success in these three areas
means rewards including academic and cultural field trips to Washington and Philadelphia and community-building trips to Hershey Park and the
beach. Depending on your child’s GPA, behavior and attendance, and service learning hours, he/she may earn a leadership level – bronze, silver,
gold or platinum. Students on leadership level receive special uniform shirts, pins and other HHA swag. We know you have middle school choices,
and we hope you choose to stay with us! There will be a middle school information session for rising 6th grade students and their families in the
library on Tuesday, January 7, 2020 from 5 – 6:30 pm.

HHA's Daisies and Brownie Girl Scouts have
been busy this fall! They have earned Trail
Adventure and Hiking Badges through a
visit to the Irvine Nature Center, and have
also learned about sports and inclusion
while earning the Fair Play badge. They
also learned to help others for the
Philanthropist badge. Daisies have learned about real female
superheroes with the power of empathy, and learned what it means to
be considerate, caring, friendly, helpful, honest and fair. They are also
learning how to run a cookie business. Thank you to all the parents who
are guiding these girls to become leaders in their communities! For the

FAMILY INFORMATION

THE COUNTDOWN CONTINUES

 32% of the school year is done
 58 of our 180 student days are completed
 There are approximately 85 school days left until our

3-8 grade students take the MCAP Assessment in
reading and math beginning Monday, April 20th.

IMPORTANT DATES TO REMEMBER

Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program (MCAP) for grades 3 to 8 - April 20 – June 2
Report Cards – 2/3 (2nd Quarter), 4/16 (3rd Quarter), Last Day of School (4th Quarter)

Please put these dates on your calendar and be sure NOT to plan activities outside of school on test days!
Remember, scores on the tests help decide whether students move on to the next grade.

What Does the MCAP
Look Like for Your
Child?

Spend some time learning about this new state assessment for your child at the Maryland State Department of
Education at http://marylandpublicschools.org/about/Pages/DAAIT/Assessment/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 or idling at drop-off and pickup. Double parking creates a dangerous situation, and you could get a $252

ticket for double parking.
 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.

Would like a way to communicate with our diverse HHA community? There is
an app called "Say Hi". You can download this app to your phone and have
conversations with non-English speakers. It is very simple to use, and you will
have the means to communicate with any non-English speaking person. The
app is free and offers a large variety of languages.

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 3rd Grade Team for having the highest attendance average for November.
The students in this grade level will have a PTO sponsored pizza party.

MATH RUMBLE ROCKS

Mr. Berry booms, “Leeetttt’s get ready to rummmmmmble!” and with that the 19th Annual HHA Math
Rumble was off and running. For those new to our school, the Math Rumble is sort of like a spelling bee,
but with math facts instead of words. Students in grades 1-4 compete through several rounds of math
problems, and there are winners based on the groups with the highest percent of students left standing.
Students get practice in a public speaking setting, and everyone receives a certificate of participation.
The Math Rumble is an opportunity to practice basic math facts: addition, subtraction, multiplication
and division. These basic computation skills form the foundation for the more complex math skills
required by the Common Core Standards. Special thanks to Ms. Trainer, Ms. Johnson and Mr. Lucas for
their leadership and organization and to Ms. Swann and Mr. Berry for their coordination, enthusiasm
and essential logistical support.

SPEECH-LANGUAGE CORNER

Books, Baking, and Beats:
Encouraging Speech & Language Development
During The Holidays

With everyone’s busy schedules during the holiday months, it may be hard finding time to practice
speech or language skills at home during these eventful months. Luckily, the holidays present a great
amount of opportunities to encourage speech and language development outside of therapy. Here are
a few ideas to incorporate at home to practice listening and talking while also having fun celebrating the
holidays.

BOOKS

Research has shown that reading aloud stimulates language development. Holiday breaks are a perfect time to head to your local library and check
out some seasonal and holiday books to help build your child’s vocabulary, listening skills, ability to answer questions and grammar. Here are a
couple of holiday book ideas to target speech and language at home:

Llama Llama Holiday Drama by Anna Dewdney - This book tells the story of a little llama who is excited for the holidays but is exhausted by all the
activities. This is a great book to work on answering questions and basic concepts. You can ask simple questions such as “Where did llama and
mama go?” or “What is llama and mama doing?” This book is also written in a lively rhyming format. Reading books that rhyme allows children to
memorize familiar words and helps them develop skills to predict rhyming words, which is an essential step in the process of learning to read.

The Mitten by Jan Brett - When Nicki loses his mitten in the snow, a number of animals find it and crawl inside. This book is a great story to discuss
illustrations or use it to target sequencing. You can discuss the order that animals crawl into the mitten and also target special concepts by
discussing which animals are in/out of the mitten.

There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Bell! by Lucille Colandro - This time the hungry old lady swallows a bell, gifts, a sleigh and many other
holiday items. This is a great book to work on predicting, story retell or sequencing. You can also work on basic concepts such as counting to count
the number of items the old lady has swallowed.

BAKING

You may find yourself in the kitchen more often during the holiday season baking or cooking for various parties or events. Baking with your child is
a great opportunity to work on their speech and language skills. You can target following directions by giving your child specific tasks or narrating
simple steps and then asking him or her to recite the steps (“First we are going to add the sugar, then butter and then eggs. Can you tell me what
we are going to add?”). There are many opportunities to target responding to questions while engaging in a cooking or baking activity with your
child.

You can target “where” questions by having your child help you locate specific ingredients in your kitchen and “what” questions by having your
child help you identify utensils you need (or don’t need). You may have an item on the counter that you don’t need such as a mug, banana, toy,
etc., and you can have your child tell you what you do not need to roll out dough or mix the batter. You can also target spatial concepts during a
baking activity such as the word “in” (“Can you help me put the chocolate chips in the bowl?”), “on” (“Let’s put sprinkles on the cookies”), and “off”
(“Now we need to take the cookies off the baking sheet”). There are limitless opportunities to target speech and language while engaging in a fun
activity like baking!

BEATS

Music is an essential part of a child’s speech development. Through singing, children can achieve improved articulation skills. In addition, singing
combines repetition, rhythm and rhyme, which helps to develop speech and language skills. What better time than the holidays to sing fun, festive
songs with your little ones?! Please contact Amanda Smith-SLP for any questions or concerns! (Source: Children’s Therapy Place, B. Minniti SLP)
